Who was your biggest crush as a kid. I loved one of the paramedics on the show "Emergency".

[applegrove]

Johnny was his name. It was just so romantic that he saved people every show and brought them safely to the Rampart Emergency Hospital.

[GoCubsGo]

1. He was mine, too.

He's still pretty hunky for a 60-something.

[jwhitesj]

2. Clarisa from "Clarisa Explains it All"

;)

[rug]

5. She turned out to be Republican

:(

Welcome to DU!

[jwhitesj]

6. When I was thirteen, that wouldn't matter.

That's too bad that she turned out to be a republican.

[blueamy66]

3. Donny Osmond

Yeah, I admit it.

And Shaun Cassidy.

[applegrove]

4. Oh I liked Shaun Cassidy too.

[blueamy66]

8. Da do run run

ugh

[applegrove]

10. "When I was 16, sick of school....."

[Throd]

7. Maria on "Sesame Street"

[Bucky]

82. Yes!

damn

[bigwillq]

9. LL Cool J

I still have a thang for dark chocolate.

[one_voice]

33. OH. MY. GAWD.

He was delicious then and he's delicious now. Total hotness!!

[ornotna]

11. Laurie Partridge

She was the most beautiful girl on TV, to me anyways.

[driver8]

13. Amen!!

I had a HUGE crush on her, too.

[driver8]

12. I have a story about Johnny Gage.

I live in Los Angeles, and I used to take my dog to the dog park near the Hollywood sign. It was not unusual to see actors and musicians up there. One day I took my dog to the park, and he was running around playing. I noticed a guy sitting on the ground and he looked familiar -- It was Randolph Mantooth (Johnny Gage). Imagine my horror as I watched my dog walk by him, stop...and then cock his leg -- all over Mr. Mantooth's back!! Mr. Mantooth did not notice, and I wasn't going to say anything.

[applegrove]

14. Dogs can be embarrasing animals to own. That is likely why I don't own one, that and I'm too lazy

a dog.

[hifiguy]

15. As a young teen

it would have to have been Barbara Eden (in Jeannie costume of course :wow:) or Diana Rigg, John Steed's only proper partner in "The Avengers."

In my later teenage years, there was one and only: Valerie Bertinelli (who still looks drop-dead gorgeous :loveya:)

[oneshooter]

16. especially when she was in the tight leather outfit?

[hifiguy]

49. Especially in that

but in anything. :loveya: Diana in the late 1960s was everything I ever thought was the essence of tough and intelligent femininity. <melt>

[pink-o]

17. John Fogerty from Creedence

I was 15 and I LUVVVVVED him to distraction. I had every Creedence LP up to Cosmo's Factory and would listen to them in order once a day. Fogerty's pix wallpapered my room. Yeah, not exactly a Tiger Beat Idol, but I was always a rocker chick.

Anyway, 20 years goes by, it's 1990 and I'm 35. Haven't thought of Fogerty in years...and lo and behold, he shows up at my job (airline ticket agent) standing in front of my counter. He didn't look any different, and suddenly I was 15 again. I almost screamed and geeked out right then. But the professional me kept it together, and I just treated him like any other passenger. I didn't even acknowledge I knew who he was, or that would have released the floodgate.

But the real kicker was that his wife was with him--and she was MY AGE!! So IOW, that cudda been me. (oh, not hardly, I know that). Anyway, goes to show you may grow old but you never grow up.

[WinkyDink]

18. Ages 12+: Robert Conrad; Guy Williams; Ricky Nelson; Gardner McKay. But ABOVE ALL: CHAD MITCHELL.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

21. There were two major ones.

Julie Newmar's Catwoman...



Dawn Wells as Mary Ann...



:-)

[Manifestor_of_Light]

24. My dad liked Julie Newmar. She was stacked.

I remember she had a bit in the movie "L'il Abner". She was Stupefyin' Jones. (What a name!)

She said "I am an I.C.B.M. That means "I Catches Bachelor Men".

[Frank Cannon]

77. You had (and I assume still have) excellent taste.

I always thought that Mary Ann was the castaway that really had it going on. But Julie Newmar... Good Lord. Those are still my favorite episodes of the Batman series today.

[deutsey]

85. Mee-yow!

I loved it when she was the guest villain on Batman. :loveya:

He was sooo good looking.

Lots of Cornel to appreciate.

[cynatnite]

36. At 13 years old, I was in love with Hutch of Starsky & Hutch.

My very first case of puppy love. *sigh*

[applegrove]

39. I saw Starsky & Hutch in reruns when I was in first year university. I agree. Hutch was a hottie.

[OhioBlue]

37. Ralph Macchio as Jeremy on Eight is Enough

Big time crush on him... I think that was my first as a kid... then probably Michael J. Fox or Kirk Cameron.

[7wo7rees]

38. Randolph Mantooth was his name

[Rowdyboy]

40. Inger Stevens (The Farmers Daughter) and Elizabeth Montgomery (Bewitched)

Obviously as a pre-teen I had a thing for nordic blondes....

[livetohike]

41. George Maharis (Buzz Murdock) on Route 66

[PassingFair]

42. The "dad" on Flipper.

Although "Sandy" has some strange fans:

http://www.cpps90.com/luke/html/articles/legs_thighs.html <-----This is one of the weirdest sites I have ever seen. Creepy in its focus.



Sandy and Bud's Dad, Brian Kelly.

[texanwitch]

58. What a strange website.

I will never think of Luke's thighs the same again.

I don't see what is so special about his legs, they look normal to me.

[PassingFair]

64. Talk about OBSESSION! Funny and creepy at the same time.

VERY strange!

[texanwitch]

65. Just his thighs, nothing else.

It is creepy all right.

I wonder if Luke knows about this website.

Picture after picture.

:scared:

[Luciferous]

75. What a weird website.

[Seedersandleechers]

43. As a kid I was crazy about Keith Richards. Needless to say I was always attracted to the "bad boys"

[hifiguy]

50. Keith wasn't a bad boy at all.

He was actually the nice guy in the Rolling Stones; he just seemed bad. Read his book. Keith was and is a romantic at heart. Mick was a greasy sleazeball and still is. Keith RULES!

[abq e streeter]

47. Veronica Bennett AKA Ronnie Spector (and by God, STILL have a crush on her)

[hifiguy]

53. Indeed. Nothin' to like there..

:evilgrin:

[abq e streeter]

54. Is that your autographed album?

Whoever's it is...I'm of course insanely jealous.

[hifiguy]

55. Nope

but Google is your friend. :evilgrin:

[abq e streeter]

57. Just noticed it's on Apple, so guessing as to who "John "is.

[hifiguy]

62. She had, umm, "relationships" with both

John Lennon and Keith Richards. David Bowie, too. How could any woman both look and sound so incredibly luscious?

[abq e streeter]

63. "Luscious" is a perfect word for her...

[Mojambo]

51. First, and maybe the biggest: Katie from My Three Sons

[hifiguy]

59. Tina Cole

man was she gorgeous or what??? Yum. They don't make girls like that anymore.

[Mojambo]

60. No doubt. n/t

[pokerfan]

52. the girl with three names

68. Hey applegroe - did you know that ALL the episodes of "Emergency" are available streaming on

Netflix? Hubby's been watching a ton of them lately.

[applegrove]

69. That's wonderful. I don't know if we get netflix in Canada. But some day I'll look into it. Thanks!

[Frank Cannon]

84. Hey, thanks for that! I had no idea!

beeeeeeeep... booooooooooop... BRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAP. "Squad 51. Engine 10. Injured boy trapped in cellar. 4140 Pine Street. Time out 1611." "Squad 51 responding. KMG365."

I LOVED that show when I was a kid! My friends and I used to play "Emergency" on the playground, reeling off terms like "Lactated Ringers" and "IV D5W", never knowing what the hell we were saying.

Guess I know what I'll be spending my evenings doing for a while. :bounce:

[valerief]

70. I had a crush on Mighty Mouse. nt

[jberryhill]

71. Jenny McNichols, Tatum O'Neill, Jodie Foster

All of my childhood crushes grew up to be lesbians

I don't know what to make of that, really.

[Pool Hall Ace]

88. Who is Jenny McNichols? Google wasn't very helpful.

Did you mean Kristy McNichol?

And I had no idea that Tatum is gay.

[BulletproofLandshark]

73. I can't pick just one.

Danica McKellar from "The Wonder Years"




Jenna Von Oy from "Blossom"




Olivia Newton-John

[abbeyco]

74. I crushed hard on Randy Mantooth, too and

Richard Hatch - he replaced Michael Douglas on Streets of San Francisco. And I still have my Partridge Family, Donny Osmond & Shaun Cassidy albums - with hearts and other doodles around my favorite boys. Ahhhh...sweet pre-teen & teen years :*

[bikebloke]

76. Hayley Mills

Both of them.

[seaglass]

78. Tie between Bob Crane Hogan's Heroes and Mike Connors from Mannix

Haha I couldn't remember Mike Connors name and found this great website of 1960s TV shows!

[sinkingfeeling]

87. Troy Donahue...

[provis99]

89. The original Bionic Woman, Lindsay Wagner.

In one episode, she did the Dance of the Seven Veils, which was a real eyepopper to my seven year old self.
