:: your top 3 topsecret tv crushes ::
............................
i must admit, i'm not such a tv watcher. but over the years, i have had a few spurts of tv - ing - fun! they heyday for my tv watching was really when i was in my preteens. there were a variety of great 1960's and 70's reruns on in that era, that were right up my alley!
and so...
my first tv crush was was born...
Russell Johnson autograph via cerebral_intoxicat ion's photostream
tv crush #1: the professor from *gilligan's island.* (played by Russell Johnson) if you don't know gilligan's island, the premise sounds a bit like a comedic *Lost.* (just kiddin'!)
i loved the professor's good-guy charm, thoughtful approach to problem-solving, and understated wit .... i thought he was so cute! ahh...
...................................
fast forward to the mid-80's ... tv crush #2.... *sigh* ... remington steele (pierce brosnan) ... to be honest.. i don't think i ever really saw this show about a former conman turned detectivey guy, as a youngin'.
( surely i wouldn't have been allowed! it still seems so racy in my mind! ha!)
but i do recall a glorious full-sized poster of remington steele that my very cool babysitter had up in her bedroom... and i was hooked! everytime i would be @ her place, i would just stare and stare... is it wrong to have a crush on a poster? i could just tell from that photo..
he was so dashing, so debonair, so clever and with such spy - ly intelligence! that's tv crush #2.

Oh, Remington Steel is a good one!
ReplyDeleteMine would be Zack Morris - SBTB! LOL! And, Angel from the Buffy days...and maybe Brian from QAF - only - his character is gay, making that difficult! LOL! All hotties worth crushing in their characters, but none all that great in real life! LOL!
You are so funny, RR!

ReplyDeleteWhat can I say? I have a thing for funny men with beautiful crows feet.
Hahah, what a fun post!
ReplyDeleteMy very 1st crush was Bob Crane from Hogan's Heroes. I remember I transferred that crush to a student teacher in elementary school because he had the same last name ;)
My next crush was definitely John Schneider of Dukes of Hazzard fame - I was even an official member of his fan club!

ReplyDeleteAnd, how about all of the shirtless guys in volleyball scene in Top Gun??!! Oh my... One more? Let's see, Matthew Mcconaughey? He is a babe. I guess mine are more movie people than TV... My daughter is in LOVE with Stabler from SVU...
1. Alex Kirev - from Grey's Anatomy, I so cannot stand Derrick
ReplyDelete2. Keifer Sutherland - I agree from Lost Boys not 24
3. Dwayne Johnson - aka The Rock
I had to think about this one...I'm going way back to my first crushes.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Clooney when he had a bit part on Facts of Life
Fonzy from Happy Days. My dad wanted to BE him so I thought he must be cool!
Ricky Schroder!
I also had kid-crushes on Speed Racer and Derek Wildstar from Star Blazers.
ReplyDeleteThe fact they were animated didn't faze me.
i love pierce brosnan esp when he played james bond!
ReplyDeletelove this post! how fun. this reminds me of my own first crushes Eric Estrada from CHIPS & Jon Schneider from Dukes of Hazard. That dates me too. :)
ReplyDeletemy top 3 topsecret tv crushes are:
1) George Clooney ( from George on Facts of Life, Booker on Roseanne, ER as Doug Ross + the Oceans movies etc. He's just so tall dark and yummy. Classic girly crush.
2) McSteamy, NOT McDreamy. Yes, the other one. Grey's Anatomy. I know. I can't help it. I tried to resist but HE keeps bringing me back.
3) Craig Ferguson, from the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Hot and funny? YAH. Love him. His humor. Even that late.
Great idea!!
leel
my 1st t.v crush was mister rogers.
ReplyDeleteI was 3 or 4 and I talked to him on the screen like he was actually in the room. lol.
this explains a lot of things in my adult life. LOL!
Oh my gosh! I have to jump on the Bo Duke bandwagon! Totally forgot about him :)
ReplyDeleteOthers would be...
Jordan Catalano aka Jared Leto
Also, I remember loving Maxwell Caulfield who played Miles Colby from The Colby's (spin-off of Dynasty). He was also in Grease 2
:):):)
Oh fun! This is confession time for me as I have slightly unconventional taste in men. My secret TV crushes (not any more) are Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall, who's a British TV chef, Zach Braff from Scrubs, with whom I almost share a birthday and Peter Griffin, who reminds me of my fiance, and makes me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI despair of myself, I really do, but this is me :-)
oh these are super, nicies!
ReplyDeletei love all of our wonderful topsecret tv crushes! i forgot about bo duke! he was certainly one of my crushes too! :) thanks for playing.
ok I am playing late but here goes..
ReplyDelete1.Pierce of Remington Steele!
2.Joshua Jackson of both Dawson's Creek and now Fringe
3.Nick Stokes of CSI or Hugh Laurie of House
When George says he's my boyfriend, I believe him! I just say "I know, George. I know."
ReplyDeleteWow this was tough! I've had so many secret tv crushes.
ReplyDeleteMy first was Batman -- not Bruce Wayne -- he had to be wearing the Batman costume. Maybe I liked the tights?
Fast forward to the 80's, and Tom Selleck as Magnum P.I. Those eyes...
Nowadays, it's Alton Brown that makes my heart go pitter-pat. He's cute, he's funny, and he can cook! What more can a girl ask for?
I also have a huge crush on Joe Sakic (hockey player for the Colorado Avalanche). But he isn't a secret. My husband knows I'm mad for Joe. :)
wait! george is MY boyfriend!
ReplyDeleteha, i totally have a crush on him. he's so cute, and he's such a good interviewer. he asks really interesting questions, and totally knows his back story and is really comfortable going with the flow. (except for the failed palin interview on new year's eve, that was way too scripted!)
ahem. okay, anyway. other crushes.
i LOVED johnny depp in 21 jump street. he's hot now, but ohmygod, he was SO hot then! and definitely young george clooney, he was so cute.
the big big crush when i was a teenager was jared leto in my so called life (i had a bit of a crush on angela's best friend too - rayanne? i loved her!). i loved that show so much, but watching old episodes now is seriously painful! it's just a little to close to home for me, i'd rather not think about my self conscious and awkward high school days!
Despite fears that this will expose my hick roots, mine are (in autobiographical order!):
ReplyDeleteValerie Bertinelli (from "One Day at a Time")
Megan Follows as "Anne of Green Gables"
and
Catherine Bach as "Daisy Duke"
thanks god this is anonymous...
hey! George is *my* boyfriend.... he tells me so every night. ;)
ReplyDeletemy top 3:
Magnum PI (thanks mom!)
Dr. Kovac from ER
Bo Duke (but only if he brings the General too!)
