Surely this has happened to everyone - you're about 8 or 9, and you switch on the telly to something, and all of a sudden you see someone, say, a pop star on Top Of The Pops or one of the prettier teenage members of the cast from Neighbours, and you start feeling "a bit funny". Who was the first person you saw on TV that aroused you?

(For me it was Carol Cleveland, the only regular actress on Monty Python. They began repeating the series in full in 1987 on BBC2, when I was 8...)

Oh, god, this is so embarrassing, but...when they showed the "Sound of Music" on TV, I felt a strange quivering whenever Christopher Plummer, aka The Captain, was on the screen. I guess you could say I had the hots for him, but I didn't know that it *was* the hots, having had zero hots experience up until that point.

My god, the Captain - why?

Uh-oh, Kerry, extreme jones for 'authoritative' men alert! I had a really big Johnny Cash thing going when I was about four or five. My mum reckons it's because (imagine Marge Simpson saying this but with the 'Fargo' Minnesota accent) 'Suzy always likes things that scare everyone else.' This was before she met any boyfriends of mine, mind, so may have been prescient.

― suzy, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Either Erin Grey (ooo, _Silver Spoons_ AND _Buck Rodgers_) or Angela Lansbury (circa _Bedknobs & Broomsticks_). No, I can't explain it, but it's my "thing".

Ooh - Egan! Yes, what a catch. Don't get Mike Jones and I started on the splendour of 'Ever Decreasing Circles'..

My answer: this was rather late on, but I seem to remember getting quite excited about Leslie Ash in 'Cat's Eyes'. Her current work for Homebase does nothing for me.

― Nick, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gosh... probably Davy Jones from the Monkees. My mum says that I used to rush home from primary school to watch the Monkees and goon. So that definitely predates my Jason G-Force thing. Uuuuuhhhhhh... Jason G-Force...

― masonic boom, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thanks to Battle of the Planets, my brother used to think that Mark and Jason were the only boy's names in the world other than James (his name). His intellect has come on in leaps and bounds since then.

― Emma, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

G-force were very sexy indeed when I was 8.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh yes G-Force. And I remember the episode too, where Susan gets swallowed up by a giant plant. (Blimey I do hate women, I clearly want to see them removed from a team so that the men can do their MAN STUFF in peace.)

― Tom, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You know, I used to *hate* the protective "get out of the way, let me take care of the dangerous man stuff!" attitude that the other G-forcers (*especially* Mark, who so clearly had a thing for her) used to take towards Princess when she was so clearly capable of taking care of herself. Humph!

― masonic boom, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Anita Harris on some weird British attempt at Sesame St-style kids programming. Weirdly, there is a very close resemblance between La Harris - bobbed brunnete hair, general sultriness - and Joanne Catherall from the Human League, who was my first popstar crush (as mentioned on the sister thread over on ILM). Clearly this archetype is HARDWIRED INTO MY BRANE.

― stevie t, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Its a tragedy that the creator of G Force wont let it be released on VHS. It was classic.

does anyone remember a show from the '70s called "Follyfoot"? this show about an english farm with horses & stuff. anyway the girl in that i thought was hot.
the horses too.

― duane, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But we have it on video... we dooooo!!! 3 volumes! Right up to The Jupiter Moon Menace! Oh, but it's not American format. I just want it to be released on DVD, so we can have those crystal clear freeze-frames, oh mama... Paul keeps scouting his DVD sites, but it never seems to have been released.

What I *really* want is the original Japanese Gatchaman series (clearly, with subtitles, cause I can't understand Japanese) so that I can know what's *really* going on, and not have all those annoying 7-Zark-7 interludes.

Oh dear, really, I should stop going on about G-Force. But Jason... uuuuuuhhhhh... what a hottie. Paul got very cross when I kept rewinding the bit where he's relaxing on the beach in his civvies over and over and over again. Mmmm, is it wrong to lust after cartoons?

Battle of the Planets is indeed available on VHS. There are three volumes so far, and there should have been more by now but I'm guessing they didn't make enough money. Volume 1 is also on DVD, but it's ridiculously expensive for what you get.

Princess was well foxy. Whenever she did anything she'd show her pants! But she's not as foxy as the woman in Macross II, the Japanese Anime where the Earth repels alien invaders with Pop Music!!! It's completely bonkers. Damn, I love bonkers anime. The more convoluted the better. I hate it when they use overdubs to Westernise it and ruin the whole thing, as with Princess Mononoke and the dubbed version of Akira.

Incidentally, anyone see Perfect Blue? That was great as well...

But anyway... first crush. Definitely Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth.

― Paul Strange, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ah, Jennifer Connolly....

I'd feel so much better about myself if my childhood self weren't attracted to older, domineering, blah women. Of course, now, I'm just a leering lech when it comes to TV / movie ladies. I was so smitten with Tara Reid via _American Pie_ before A) I heard her speak outside of a movie set and B) she got hitched to Carson Daly. Ungh.

― David Raposa, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Daivd, she dumped Carson on his wannabe-hip ass. I think she woke up one day and said, "You know, I'm really attractive and more famous than this loser. I could probably have anyone I want, preferably someone who doesn't go out on benders with Fred Durst," and messaged a "Dear John" letter to his publicist.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Madonna. "Lucky Star" video, '83 or so. Jesus, it was over. I was eight. I respectfully submit that Madonna is as important as she is not just because she made/makes good records and/or videos but because she was the first person a LOT of boys and girls wanted to fuck (public-figurewise).

― Michaelangelo Matos, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

or be. I saw Madonna at i guess 8 or 9, it was a whole other world. She seemed so sexy and fun ...I knew there would be a whole other world that never saw a beet.

― The Dirty Vicar, Monday, 23 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

David Bowie. If I remember correctly, towards the end of the video for "DJ," after Bowie smashes up 45s and runs his fingers through the Venetian blinds a couple of times, he walks through the streets of Berlin when this fan runs up to him and gives him a great big sloppy mouth kiss and Bowie just keeps walkin', completely impassive. I was eight at the time and I had seen men and women kiss thousands of times, but two men kissing just burned me up.

― Michael Daddino, Monday, 23 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Catherall/Harris comparison: don't they also share a beauty spot? Well, not *share* (Anita wears it at weekends, scrapes it off, pops it in an Air-Loc bag and posts it to Sheffield), more 'have in common'. And do I even mean 'beauty spot' - that's more like the Yorkshire Dales or the Wyre Forest or something. Perhaps I *did* mean share, after all.

My parents tell me that I 'fancied' Lena Zavaroni when she first appeared (New Faces? '75-ish?). Reminded only two days ago (by a Ch5 repeat) how much I swooned over "The Love Boat"'s lovely cruise director Julie McCoy (played by Lauren Tewes) back in the late 70s. Such pretty eyes.

― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 25 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

five months pass...

My two earliest memories of this are more the situations than the actors or characters. Firstly when I was about 8, there were the scenes in Tom Brown's Schooldays of him getting strapped, and trying not to cry. I knew not to let on how interested I was in it. It was in Australia - I don't know if it was shown in NZ. Also some movie I still don't know what it was, that my parents were watching; this scene where a boy and girl are in this empty corridor, I think of a school, and he said "kiss me" and she said "no".
I remember fancying the girl Sam from "Me and My Girl", Kristy McNicholl in Little Darlings, Donald Sutherland in Ordinary People, Will Wheaton in Stand By Me. Oh and there was this scene at the start of this movie with witches in it that I think was maybe called the Magic Flute, where the boy is late to orchestra practice and gets told off. I had a special interest in that scene!

Susan Dey as Lori Partridge. Thinking about her getting me "a bit funny" right now.

I'll say the orginal Pink Ranger, she was the first female on tv that made me know what I wanted inbetween her legs. Well your question is aimed at a bit more younger urges I dont remeber though Carol Cleveland is in that group that 'made me feel kinda funny like climbing the rope in gym class' but the pink ranger was the first I wanted purely sexualy.

― Mr Noodles, Friday, 28 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I don't think I was necessarily aroused by two boys, but I do remember really wanting to be best friends with a young Henry Thomas and a young Ben Affleck, which is probably as deep an affectionate sort of feeling as I was going to get Back In The Day.

Reading this thread has just now made me recall this movie called The Water Babies - I think it was sort of half animated and half film? In it, a chimneysweep named Tom is chased to a river by some posh bint, and he falls in and drowns.

And all I can remember is how much of a turn on the idea of drowning like that and entering an undrwater world would be.

Hrm.

Probably Tela on the He-Man, although I wouldn't have really known what "aroused" was when I was five. I definitely had a crush on Lisa from Saved By The Bell though.

This might be a little wrong. I think I had some kind of revulsion/fear/proto-lust for Mickey Dolenz at least a year prior to seeing Blue Hawaii.

i probably had a crush on one of the women from "the magic garden" television show. was that just a regional program??

Julie Newmar as Catwoman

Yvonne Craig as Batgirl was 10000X hotter than any of the Catwomen.

I have an earlier answer than the one upthread: Goldie Hawn and her bikini and her body paint from Laugh-In.

I remember seeing that show when I was a little kid; the only part I remember is Julie Brown throwing these Chinese star cookies or something at some dude and there being gore.

having now done an image search, research shows that this was either completely accurate or totally insane, depending on the photo

― BLACK BEYONCE, Tuesday, 8 July 2008 07:49 (seventeen years ago)

I very clearly remember having a major crush on Debbie Harry when I was about 10 (late 70s).But I suspect the very first was Kate Jackson aka Sabrina Lloyd of Charlie's Angels.

http://www.hissandpop.com/celebrities/j/katejackson/photos/003.jpg

I do suspect that the way she looked then has informed my taste in women ever since.

― Stone Monkey, Tuesday, 8 July 2008 12:07 (seventeen years ago)

Sabrina Duncan, that is. My mind hes deteriorated with the years it appeaars.

― Stone Monkey, Tuesday, 8 July 2008 12:10 (seventeen years ago)

I think I'm looking at an intersection of Kate Bush, Lynda Carter, Erin Gray, and Miss Piggy...

I'll probably regret admitting that it was the steroid-addled men in tights of the WWF who sealed my fate as a queer.

For many years, I found it hard to get off a train I'd got on unless it was at it's final destination. Then I saw the film again and remembered why.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 8 July 2008 14:34 (seventeen years ago)

Well, not TV because I can't remember liking any tv stars before 90210 which seems a little too old to have been a first crush, but I was in love with Ralph Macchio.

I just noticed that The Avengers girl looks really similar in this picture

― CaptainLorax, Tuesday, 8 July 2008 17:09 (seventeen years ago)

"that The Avengers girl?!!!" Oh, the youth of today.

I'd have to say Susan Dey, Dawn Wells (Gilligan's Mary Ann), Goldie Hawn & Judie Carne (Laugh-In), Marlo Thomas (the last season of That Girl I was sure she wasn't wearing a bra, and seemed to be jumping around to emphasize that fact), Barbara Feldon (Get Smart), and the female Bugaloo. Diana Rigg came later (if you know what I mean, huh, huh).
