Your first "TV crush"

[Aragorn]

Inspired by what someone posted in another thread, who was your very first crush of an actor or actress you saw on television?

For me, I want to say Erin Gray in Buck Rogers, but I watched it during weekday reruns long after it had been canceled. And it was probably during Silver Spoons, so I don't remember where I saw her first. But she looked a lot better on Buck Rogers.

Knight Rider's Patricia McPherson (Bonnie) was also on at around that time.

And I might've been the only kid in my school who liked Faye Grant (Juliet Parrish) on V.

And of course Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke) goes without saying.

It'd be a toss-up between Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes-Ewing on Dallas, Catherine Bach as Daisy Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard, and Yvonne Craig as Barbara Gordon / Batgirl on Batman.

Which, now that I think about it, is kind of odd given my tendency to date blondes.

I don't know for sure. I'd say Tiffany Brissette from Small Wonder. Here's what she looked like two years ago.

After her, it was Nancy McKeon from The Facts of Life.

I had a huge crush on Tiffany Brissette, Vicki the robot from "Small Wonder," especially the later seasons when she got older and started acting more "human." And also Kaleena Kiff, who played Wally's daughter Kelly on "The New Leave It To Beaver."

God, this is embarrassing. Shaun Cassidy from "The Hardy Boys Mysteries."

 

[Adm. Bonz]

Marcia Brady and Mary Ann Summers.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Nana Visitor's Major Kira Nerys on Deep Space Nine

 

[auntiehill]

Dirk Benedict on the original "Battlestar Galactica." I must have been in 3rd or 4th grade at the time.

I've been a lifelong fan ever since.

It was either James Darren in Time Tunnel or Fraser Hines in Doctor Who...not sure who I saw first....

a presenter on a kids show over here called chock-a-block. i was about 4 and wanted to kiss her...

quick look on wiki, her name's Carol Leader...

 

[WillsBabe]

I'm not sure. It was either Lee Majors as the Six Million Dollar Man, Doug McClure as Trampas on the Virginian or the Shat as you know who. They were the first in a very long line of tv boyfriends.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke), runner-up.

Erin Gray (Wilma Deering), definitely #1. Princess Ardala ain't got nothin' on her.

And Erin looks just as hot today. She's barely aged!

I'm quite the opposite. Princess Ardala is a prime example of why evil is hot and good is dumb.

 

[Jack Bauer]

Barbara Eden
Erin Gray
Lynda Carter
Cheryl Ladd

I'm not sure what came first so I mentioned all the possibles.

I'm quite the opposite. Princess Ardala is a prime example of why evil is hot and good is dumb.

I think one of the reasons I never went for Ardala was that one episode where she and Buck get married, but he has to wear a collar that would kill him if he even slightly displeases her. Tigerman can have that bitch, I go more for the wholesome girl next door who is Deering.

Wholesome on TV, yes. But in my adolescent mind she was far from wholesome....
