Okay, okay, this was the product of a couple of hours home watching TV shows from when I was a teenager, and first Roseanne started (NO, before anyone asks, NOT Roseanne), and then Family Ties.

Used to have a bit of a thing at the time for Lecy Goranson, the "original" Becky on Roseanne, as well as Justine Bateman (Mallory) on Family Ties, and certainly, Simone Buchanan on Hey Dad was a favorite when growing up.

So....at the risk of people embarrassing themselves, who were your teenage TV crushes? I know there will be a pretty heavy age spectrum with posters here, so will be some interesting answers :)

Why not? She looks like she'd suck a golf ball through a garden hose and at least it would shut her up. Go on: take one for the team.

Hope (Kristian Alfonse) - Days Of Our Lives
Rebecca Gibney - Flying Doctors
Tracey Callender - Possession
Sam Fox - No further details required
Simone Buchanan - Hey Dad (CK, Im sure you will understand just how surprised I am at this one)
Michelle Pfeiffer - In any movie (this crush extended through my 20's and 30's and will no doubt exist in my 40's)

There will no doubt be others ... Do Picture magazine models (Jo Guest and Adele Stephens) count? :D

Still do.
It's why I've never been married, I'm holding out just in case. ;)

Joanna Griggs - my early 20s I know, but had her photo spread on my wall from Inside Sport 1992 for about 5 years. Met her at the Glenelg 75th celebrations (when she was still married to Gary Sweet) in 1995 and she looks better in real life!!!

Are some of you disappointed that many of your crushes turned out lesbian? Something in that. :lol:
