There were several I liked. We are talking dark ages here. Shelly Fabares on the Donna Reed Show and Coach, Elinore Donahue on Father Knows Best, Joanne Dru on Guestward Ho! (VERY obscure but good tv show). Dawn Wells on Gilligan's Island. (In the words of Fred Flintstone Yabba Dabba Doo!). Last but not least. Cheryl Holdridge. She was a former Mouseketeer. and she was a semi regular on Leave It To Beaver as Wally's girlfriend the last 2 seasons the show run. Will think up a few more later.
Glad to see someone is ancient as I am to mention the Donna Reed show. I thought the dad, Dr. Alex Stone was THE MOST handsome. However, there was a boy down the street that looked like the son, and I had a thing for him.
Hi Heleenie. Speaking of Carl Betz, don't forget Judd For The Defense, as he starred as a flamboyant trial lawyer. It was on for two seasons in the late '60's, and it actually was a real good show, I believe it is on dvd.
I SO wanted to be Jem, I loved her boyfriend... who wouldn't want a boyfriend named Rio with purpleish blue hair at 10 years old? Plus, whenever they kissed there were stars... sighhhh.
As a wee itty bitty one, I so wanted to be on Sherrif John's show. Mom said he gave everyone soda pop and I didn't like it and even as an wee itty bitty knew I'd still refuse to drink it so I knew that was a gonner at pre-five. But others, the one that outshined all the rest was Skyking and Penny. I so wanted to be flying around with them.
I can still remember what they and the plane looked like. I also loved The Lone Ranger and his horse. Tonto was neat too. Thinking about it, in the early fifties, there weren't many 'girl' shows on and it never occured to us that these were mainly aimed at little boys.
Pathro from the original80's cartoon (I don't really care for the 2011 version of Panthro. He has mutton chop, samurai hair. His original design was fine) Thundercats, was my all-time favorite crush!
Panthro was the strongest, smartest, baddest mofo there ever was in my eyes. HE INVENTED THE THUNDERTANK!!!! Pantho will always be the real leader of the Thundercats in my eyes because without him, the Thundercats couldn't survive. They rely on Panthro's amazing mechanical/engineering prowess (he creates all their machines), he is an excellent Captain and fighter. In the original 80's cartoon, Panthro was a Nunchaku master and he was the only one strong enough to pick up and toss around the Thundertank like it was a feather.
Another crush I had, Brave Star, the cartoon Sheriff from Brave Star. He had his trusty, talking sidekick horse, 30-30. And 30-30 had a gun named, Sarah Jane. Awesome show. I think this show aired directly after Jem and the Hollograms. Ah, those were the good times. I miss my childhood.
