don't you just love a slumber party? comfy pjs, silly movies, telling your friends, old & new, your thoughts & crushes & dreams.... such fun! so i thought i'd invite you to the fun continuing series on the rikrak studio blog... the rikrak slumber party. here's a followup to the question i asked a little while ago: who are your TOP SECRET tv crushes? thanks for your fun answers! be sure to visit all of the slumber party posts here and chime in!

....................................

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...

tv crush #1: the professor from *gilligan's island.* (played by Russell Johnson)
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 wonderfully racy!)

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. ( dre 
cross my heart & jingle all agreed!)

....................

well... we've all come a long way from professors stranded on islands and dashing private investigators... so we're down to tv crush #3.... late @ night if i'm cutting fabrics or ironing orders, i love tuning in to see the very wonderful george stroumboulopoulos - woowee- i've certainly got a crush here! sadly, if you're not in canada... you might not know enough about the wonderful george! he's a phenomenal host. he's gregarious, witty and has such fun intelligence to him... and he happens to interview some of my favourite advocates, humanitarians, politicians and writers.  but shh... just don't tell mr.rikrak : cause hey - this crush in on a REAL actual person! .... *sigh*: tv crush #3


....................

  5. When I was in the 6th and 7th grade (and to be fair, still to this day) I was in love with Chachi from Happy Days. Not Scott Baio, but the cute cousin of Fonzie.

  6. I have a dozen, mostly from more recent ones, becauzse I wasn't much of a series watcher as a preteen or teen:

    -Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds (I tend to have a thing for geeks...)
    -Mick St. John from Moonlight
    -Greg Sanders and Warrick from CSI
    -Speed and Wolfe from CSI: Miami
    -Sully, Booth and Shane from Harper's Island
    -Kutner from House (you can't imagine how devastated I was when he died! :D)
    -Nigel Townsend from Crossing Jordan

    (oh, and I just remembered a really embarrassing preteen crush... Dylan and Steve from Beverly Hills 90210... yeah right...)

  13. The biggest one I can remember (from my preteen times) was JTT or Jonathan Taylor Thomas on Home Improvement. Wow, I had it bad for him when I was 12 :) my current TV crush is probably Marshall on How I Met Your Mother...I think mostly because he reminds me of my hubs!!
