This morning I woke up with this sudden realization: all of my first childhood crushes are old now.
One of the very first that I can remember, way back when I was a wee tot of 6 or 7 in the early 70’s was Emmy Jo on the “New Zoo Revue”. I used to love watching her dancing around and singing with Doug, Freddy, Charlie, and Henrietta. Emily Peden turns 63 this year.
Next in 1976, came one of my all time Saturday morning favorites, I still get all warm and fuzzy thinking about it to this day, “Electra Woman and Dyna Girl”. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do when I saw Electra Woman dressed up in all that tight spandex, but I knew I wanted to do something, the same with Dyna Girl and her pony tails. Deidre Hall turns 60 this year.
At the same time that spandex was ruling my Saturday mornings, 3 new women were coming into my life on the weeknights.
First, was Wonder Woman, tall, dark, and gorgeous, scantily clad in her red, white, and blue costume, complete with high healed boots and bullet deflecting wrist bands, oh my, how I wanted her to tie me up with that magic lasso. Lynda Carter turns 56 this year.
Kelly Garrett was always my favorite “Angel”, and the only one to stick around for the entire 5 year run. I don’t know how that Bosley managed to control himself while constantly being surrounded by so many hot P.I.’s. Jaclyn Smith turns 60 this year.
Steve Austin was cool, especially when you were a 7 year old boy. But once I met his girlfriend, Jaime Summers, I no longer gave a rat’s ass about “The Six Million Dollar Man”. Oh I still watched it, but “The Bionic Woman” was the one for me. Lindsay
Wagner turns 58 this year.
Those are some of my firsts, all of them now into their late 50’s and early 60’s, and still looking great I might add (although I could not find any recent photo’s of Emily Peden), but still getting up there in age and serving as a gentle reminder of my own mortality.

I'm right there with ya. I loved Emmy Jo and couldn't figure out why. At the point where I was actually understanding why girls made me feel like I just climbed up the rope in gym class, I totally crushed on Pamela Hensley -- Princess Ardala from the Buck Rogers series.
Then I caught The Avengers in reruns. Diana Rigg in a catsuit. Mee-yow.
I was more into Erin Gray myself, she was another early crush, but Buck Rogers came along a little later when I was a little older.
And of course Emma Peel, but as you mentioned, The Avengers was already in reruns when I discovered it and Diana Rigg was already in her 40's by then (and still hot, but what I was watching wasn't the same). Same goes for Dawn Wells on Gilligan's Island, and speaking of cat suits, Julie Newmar in Batman.
Good entry in the blog.
Reminding me on the old Batgirl. Can't recall the actress' name, but I remember the form fitting spandex she wore.

Oh man, don't get me started on this. Or maybe I'll have to do my own list; it would be long.
We'll have to cross swords over Jacyln Smith, I'm afraid. She's mine. Erin Moran was a "B" level crush so I'm reluctantly willing to cede her. Everybody still loves Lynda Carter so there's no point starting WWIII over her (she'd win anyway).
Other crushes of mine were the untouchable Julie from the Electric Company (now 46), Susan on Mister Rogers Neighborhood (can't find her), and (yes) Marsha (50), even though she was a blonde and a ditz and was apparently doing Greg and Jan the whole time.
FYI, The New Zoo Revue, Seasons 1 & 2 (at least), are on DVD and available at Amazon. They also have a few single DVDs excerpted from the show based on themes like 'patience and responsibility' (which being single DVDs are a less expensive way to revisit that childhood crush).
Mine were Angela Cartwright aka Penny Robinson..wow..Maureen McCormick aka Marcia Brady..Pamelyn Ferdin..Space Academy...Jean Marie Hon ..Ark II.. Kathy Coleman..Holly Marshall, Land of the Lost...Emily Pedon......Emmy Jo...The New Zoo Revue.........June Angela aka Julie Bayn Johnson aka Kelly The Electric Company...Dawn Wells..aka Mary Ann....... Erin Grey...Col. Wilma Deering...Buck Rogers...Lynda Carter...Wonder Woman...Judy Strangis...Dyna Girl..Yvonne Craig........aka Batgirl/Barbara Gordon...Batman the tv show..Erin Moran aka Joanie Cunningham.....Julie Dawn Cole..Veruca Salt....Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory....I love my autographed picture of her, Pamelyn Ferdin..Lynda Carter..Erin Moran..Yvonne Craig..June Angela..oh yeah and who could forget Adrienne Barbeau...Carol........from Maude..I love my autographed picture of her as well...

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children.

There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had
