Me too OP. When Duke the surfer flexed his muscles and said he was nothing but skin and bones, Ginger and Maryann replied "What skin," and "And what bones." That was Denny Miller - an ex UCLA jock I think. Mike Henry in the movies was the Tarzan that made my young dingal tingle. I remember Lyle in a loincloth as Tarzan too - totally steamed me up. We could have gotten junior boners together!

C..J from Matt Houston. I wanted to be Matt so that I could constantly rescue C.J. I was so in love with her.
Col. Wilma Deering from Buck Rogers. Good lord, those tight jumpsuits were mesmerizing.
Jamie, the Bionic Woman, Wonder Woman, Laura Holt from Remington Steele, Linda Carter in the Big Valley and Dynasty, Dee Dee from Hunter, Ginger on Gilligan's Island, Lacey on Cagney and Lacey... I could go on.
I was fascinated by these women but had no idea that I was different from other little girls. My mother did. I can remember this look she used to give me, like she knew something about me. She was very close to her gay brother and he has told me they used to talk about me being a baby dyke.
In hindsight, I wanted to be the guy in all these shows because they always got the girl.

It's good to hear that so many of you are open-minded to the intergenerational sex thing, but honestly I don't see what's attractive about the old guys that are listed.

The episode of WKRP where Jennifer (Loni Anderson) and Andy (Gary Sandy) model for a beach ad. Gary Sandy in a speedo gave me a boner for days. Loni, not so much.

Emma Peel, "The Avengers,". Stephanie Powers "The Girl from UNCLE," another for Paula Prentiss "He and She." As an adult I loved Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly use to see them filming in the neighborhood, what a treat! And I always LOVED S. Epatha Merkerson on "Law & Order" I loved her just because.

For me it was Van Williams on Surfside 6. I recently got DVDs of the entire series, and I was surprised at how seldom he went shirtless. I had thought it was every episode, but it's much less. Interestingly, the other two male stars (Troy Donahue and Lee something) never appeared fully shirtless, though Lee was in a bathing suit in the titles segment each week.
By the way, does anyone besides me know that the late Brian Kelly of Flipper was Brian D'Arcy James' uncle?

I had crushes on 2 two guys on McHale's Navy: Christie (the wavy-haired blond) and Fuji, the Japanese POW.
My first boyfriend was a wavy-haired blond and my second boyfriend was Asian.

"Sonny & Cher" and later on just "Cher". I couldn't wait to see what fabulous Bob Mackie gown she'd be wearing.
"Secrets Of Isis". I used to put on my mom's cheap-o Cher ( there's that pesky Cher again!) wig,, spin around and chant" Zephyr winds that blow on high, lift me now so I can fly!"
"Match Game"---I wanted to be as cunty as fag hag extraordinaire Brett Somers.

R27 I loved Virginia Graham, for the hair if nothing else. You just know she had to be an all-time cunt off-camera.
I loved the end of TO TELL THE TRUTH when all the panelists would get up from behind the desk and mingle with the gusts. It looked like a swanky New York cocktail party. I always knew that, as soon as the cameras went off, the gentlemen helped the ladies on with their mink soles and fur coats and they all got into big black limousines and went drinking and dancing at the Stork Club or El Morocco, while 8 year-old me got sent off to bed.

During the 60s when I was a kid: Lyle Waggoner, Rod Taylor, Hugh O'Brien, Clint Walker. They probably knew I was gay before *I* did.
