[Montauk6]

(Mindless poll to relieve some of the pre-election anxiety)

[Richardo]

1. Barbara Feldon, dammit!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[trogdor]

6. Oh yes.

She was hawt.

[mikeargo]

12. Karen Valentine

On Room 222

[Redstone]

19. Anothe vote for Karen Valentine.

Redstone

[swimboy]

57. Yeah!

[BikeWriter]

50. SWEEEEEEEET!

[Burma Jones]

2. Teri Garr as a regular on Sonny and Cher

first big crush.....

I don't know if she really qualifies as "unsung" though"

[bif]

3. How about the girls on Petticoat Junction?

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Ah, how soon we forget

Melody Patterson, aka Wrangler Jane of "F Troop."





(Who, incidentally, was not yet 16 when she began work on the show.)

[Mojambo]

5. No Tina Cole??

[WCGreen]

9. I wanted to have sex with her before I knew what sex was

all about..

Fuck that Robby shit head... What a Putz...

And how come all three sons were midgets and Freddy Mac was huge...

[mitchum]

11. Yessssssssss

[Montauk6]

26. Was she on "My Three Sons"?

[Mojambo]

56. Yep. Katie.

Yummmm.

[Deja Q]

7. Marta, yes... agent 99, yes... Lynda Carter? You bet your bippy!

[Montauk6]

27. Well... Carter wouldn't qualify as UNSUNG though, would she?

I mean, I remember her being very popular in that A-list poster crowd that included Farrah, Cheryl Tiegs, Barbi Benton, etc.

[Guava Jelly]

8. gotta go with ISIS

:7
yeah i'm old

[Aristus]

13. You'll probably like this then:

[Gold Metal Flake]

15. Oh, my!

Man, how did I miss that show?

[swimboy]

58. O Zephyr Winds which blow on high

lift me now so I can fly!

:rofl: :thumbsup:

[Montauk6]

63. I'll bet the same "poet" who came up with that one also dreamed up

O Elders; fleet, strong, and wise
Appear before my sinking eyes.

(Had to have been since this is from the spinned-off Shazam)

[Montauk6]

30. You think YOU'RE OLD... check this out...

ABC Movie of the Week: absolutely GENIUS TV cinema, long before the TV-movie became melodramatic ripped-from-the-headlines nonsense, anyone remember?



Anyway, one really memorable offering was a dark comedy called "It Couldn't Have Happened To A Nicer Guy," starring Paul Sorvino (this was also my first exposure to this fine actor). Paul plays this guy who's car dies in the middle of nowhere one night; so, he thumbs a ride, this really gorgeous young woman stops and picks him up. No sooner do they go along when she pulls a knife on poor Paul and persuades him to get in the back seat where she has her way with him. Then, she boots him out stark naked feeling totally used. Of course, the humor kicks in as he tries to press rape charges (I know, I know, it was the early 70s fercryinoutloud!...). The woman, of course, was played by Joanna Cameron who went to thrill young boys such as yours truly as the Mighty Isis.

... and now ya know... the REST of the stoRY...

[CanuckAmok]

45. I remember that movie...

Interesting premise, as goofy as it was. A good lesson on misandry and gender discrimination!

[KamaAina]

10. Lauri Hendler, middle sister on "Gimme A Break!"

Lauri trivia: She did a "Three's Company" episode when she was very very small, like 4 or 5. She was also a frequent celebrity guest on game shows while a teenager, and invariably wiped up the floor with the grownup celebs! :bounce:

[Gold Metal Flake]

14. You misspelled Marta Kristen

One of my favorite overbites!

[Montauk6]

31. Good catch, sorry.

[BrotherBuzz]

16. Damn, no Penny?

Sky King's Niece was the cat's pajamas back in my day!

[Montauk6]

32. Is that Reese Witherspoon's mom?

[BrotherBuzz]

42. No, Penny King was played by Gloria Winters

(Reese Witherspoon's parents were Dr. John and Betty Witherspoon.)







Gloria married the sound engineer from the show (lucky dude).

[Montauk6]

43. Well, phone Reese's agent anyway when they start casting for

"Penny For Your Thoughts: The Gloria Winters Story" :silly:

[MsKandice01]

17. Charlene Tipton from Dallas..

[ironflange]

18. She was cute, but. . .

her acting ability wasn't even up to that of an inflatable love doll.

[swimboy]

59. Amen to that. n/t

[Left Is Write]

21. Tilton.

:)

[martymar64]

20. Erin Gray from Buck Rogers

Really tight silver jumpsuits . . . . yeah!

[Pendrench]

22. Caroline "Joy" Ellis from the Bugaloos!!!

[Tikki]

23. Diana Muldaur.....besides her memorable role on...

Star Trek....
She was the often girlfriend on both the
Hawaii 5-O and McCloud series.




Tikki

[peacefreak]

25. Yes, but her shining moment

was when she went down the elavator shaft in LA Law!

[Montauk6]

34. Wasn't that shine from the fin of the shark that show jumped?

[peacefreak]

60. Yeah,

but what a way to go!

[Montauk6]

33. You'll think I'm an idiot but I always confused her with Barbara Walters

[NewJeffCT]

24. Bailey Quarters from WKRP

Jan Smithers

[Montauk6]

35. Now this is a really good example, NewJeff

The designated hottie was, of course, Loni Anderson but Smithers was a definite cutie who seemed more interesting anyway.

[NewJeffCT]

39. I liked them both

Though, Bailey certainly seemed like she would be a better long-term girlfriend.

[dajoki]

44. That's the one...

Something about her that I always liked.

[Montauk6]

46. Wait... isn't that Lynda Carter?

[dajoki]

47. Don't think so...

She has a few different looks.

Maybe you'll like this one better.

[Montauk6]

48. Now THAT'S the Bailey I know!

[Gold Metal Flake]

61. Yes, that is DEFINATELY Lynda Carter.

No mistaking the... uh... mmm...

[underpants]

52. Yes but she really isn't "unsung"

In fact I think you would be hard pressed to find many Lonnie takers over her in a "Mary Ann vs. Ginger" contest.

Apparently everyone watching that show had almost the same thing going on for the-- future Mrs. future Mr. Barbara Streisand.

[gmoney]

55. OMG yes...

Why all the fuss over Loni Anderson? I guess that show helped form my preference for the understated good looks of brainy women instead of plastic barbie dolls

[asthmaticeog]

28. Two you neglected:

Angela Cartwright (Penny Robinson on Lost in Space - forget Judy, she looked like a grimacing yellow skeleton) and Yvonne Craig (Batgirl. Yummmm.)

[Montauk6]

36. "grimacing yellow skeleton" hee...

Actually I loved Penny in the lavender/green days (3rd Season?).

And wasn't Yvonne one of the sexy blue aliens on Star Trek?

[chemenger]

29. Julie Newmar

aka. Catwoman.

Nice backside. If you watch McKenna's Gold you can even see it bare.

[Montauk6]

37. She was absolutely dreamy in one episode of the Monkees...

[Rabrrrrrr]

38. Pat Priest

[mac56]

40. Shari Lewis

My first television crush.

:loveya:

[Tyler Durden]

41. Erin Grey from BUCK ROGERS

That look she threw the camera on the opening credits smoked my shorts. And the skin-tight white uniforms weren't bad either.

[Blue_Tires]

51. great memories

Erin Grey sent subliminal messages to me through the TV...she said she would love me forever if only i took that evil ronnie raygun down a couple of pegs...

sadly, i was only a kid at the time

[jobycom]

49. Pamela Sue Martin-- Nancy Drew. The love of my young life, next to

Kim Richardson--Tia, from Escape to Witch Mountain (and aunt of Paris Hilton).

[underpants]

53. Hall of Fame TV babe-Markie Post

[Coventina]

54. What about the "Petticoat Junction" babes?

:shrug:

on edit: and who was the dish on "F-Troop"?

I think she should be in there.

on further edit: D'OH! Can you believe I wrote the above BEFORE seeing posts 3 & 4?!?!?!
It's true!!

OK, here's a name I haven't seen come up yet: Barbara Babcock

She guest starred in 2 episodes of ST: TOS

[speedoo]
