Well, I’m straight as straight can be and my first crush was also Kristy McNichol. (No offense jayjay. Just thought it was an odd coincidence)
Also Mary Tyler Moore in The Dick van Dyke Show. Oh my!
I thought Ginger was really hot when I was a kid. I recently saw a rerun, and now I’d take Mary Ann anyday (it also occurred to that this was a really stupid show. I was absolutely hooked as a kid though. I new every episode word for word)
Came on everyday, baby! And if you were lucky, the grand prize winners at the end had to bid on a boat or a vacation, because then one of the models was guranteed to be stuffing her rack into a bikini.
I had feelings for the Brady girls I didn’t quite understand. I did understand my feelings about the younger sisters on 8 is Enough. Especially the one with long brown hair and the really cute blonde.
I can remember being so turned on by Wonder Woman, especially the episodes where the bad guys trained a gorilla to attack her by wrestling with her all over the floor. Now that I think of it, that very likely started all the bondage fantasies. Couldn’t have been more than 7 or 8 at the time.
Fantasy Island was another one. No specific individuals, but great stuff
Another vote for Diana Rigg on The Avengers. The jumpsuits, the face, the bod, the hair, the ultracool, the accent. I wanted a chance to piss her off just so she’d kick my ass.
Marcia and Jan on the Brady Bunch (Mareen Mccormick, Eve Plum)
Kim Richrads from Nanny and the Professor
Mary on Little House (Melisa Sue Anderson)
Pamela Sue Martin
Constable Benton Fraser on Due South. Smart, sweet, and oh so sexy.
I would watch the show every week and giggle like the little girl I was. I still get a big smile on my face when I’m flipping through the channels and see reruns of it.
Captain Kirk (I’m so ashamed!) Heath Barkley on the Big Valley James West on The Wild, Wild West (which I watched partly because of those Tight, Tight pants — and Greg Boyington of Baa, Baa Black Sheep looked pretty nice in those jump suits, too.)
I wanted to look like Kristy MacNichol or Lindsay Wagner.
