While all these ladies are beautiful, Sam from Who's the boss was my first crush.
Sea_Magazine_3948@reddit
Wonder Woman Linda Carter and the Bionic Woman Lyndsy Wagner
supergooduser@reddit
Born in 1978.
100%. I was nine when Married with Children came out and Kelly Bundy was the first "I just like looking at her I don't know why" character.
Kelly Kapowski came alone when I was 11 and that was very much a crush.
Then Blossom when I was 12 and I was very much "I wish a girl like that went to my school"
mutantbabysnort@reddit
Can I get a whoa Bundy?
Sea_Magazine_3948@reddit
Where the beer gives you gas, but the Bundys kick ass. At the Nudie Bar
Ralinor@reddit
1977 here, and same across the board. I’d still add Clarissa and Winnie Cooper though 👍

Winnie Cooper for sure was my #1.

CT_7@reddit
Yet oddly something there for Peggy too despite what Al said
Trbochckn@reddit
I always watched for Peggy even as a pre-teen. Peggy was/is hot.
scotttydosentknow@reddit
Rewatched the show about a year ago and it’s interesting how your perception of the show changes as an adult. Despite what Al says about Peggy: 1. it’s obvious he really loves her and 2. She’s smoking hot 😂
suesay@reddit
Where did you find it?
ronniesfedora@reddit
Kelly is virginal and a normal popular teen with really cool clothes and bud is just a weird slut-shamer for some sick reason. They all stick together in the end. Al has values and morals and really good taste in music.
SirkutBored@reddit
virginal? Kelly? Kelly Bundy?? the episode of her and Joey Lauren Adams talking about wearing leather mini's to a wedding played my midnight matinee for a month.
Erik500red@reddit
I watched it (well, my dad did and thats how it worked back then) and it was pretty good. Caught it again a couple years ago streaming, and as a middle-aged father/husband that show feels totally different, I was doing full-on belly laughs

I’m shocked and appalled no one said Leonardo DiCaprio. It was love at first site from Parenthood then Growing Pains. I rented every movie I could lay my hands on from Basketball Diaries to What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. I memorized every line in the Balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet. And I can’t tell you how many times I saw Titanic in the theater. Then again, the topic was crushes not obsessions, lol. I had so many Teen Beat pics of him up on my walls. Memories…

I would stay up late just to catch a glimpse of Will Wheaton on this show that I otherwise had no interest in. It was always a disappointment when his character wasn’t on. Stand By Me hit me hard and WW was a huge part of that.

IceSmiley@reddit
Haha I thought it was about a phone operator back then
SomeVelveteenMorning@reddit
I was way too young for the thoughts and feelings that woman stirred in me when I discovered MTV around 1985.
universe-zen@reddit
Surely I wasn't the only oddball that found both Kimmy Gibbler and Six LeMuere cute, right?
IceSmiley@reddit
I didn't understand why they were all grossed out by Kimmy's feet, they are very perfect looking
MaxPowerrr85@reddit
Kimmy not so much; I was all over Stephanie. But there was nothing odd about being into Six!
SomeVelveteenMorning@reddit
The show needed some eye candy since no one would be crushing on Blossom. Yeah I was into Six, too
LtPowers@reddit
Nonsense. The comment citing Blossom is higher rated than this one mentioning Six.
Kabusanlu@reddit
You’re mean about Blossom lol
SomeVelveteenMorning@reddit
That's my point though! Their audience was primarily young girls who'd tune in for Blossom's style and for Joey, but to get a few boys watching they needed something else. There was another show in the early 90s called Phenom that was similar, a plain looking main character, but that one had no eye candy for young boys... and was canceled after 1 season.
brubakes@reddit
I did like Kimmy Gibbler, but Stephanie Tanner was my jam back then.

Stacy Keenan of My Two Dads and Step by Step fame.

Omg yes but more from Step by Step. Al and Carol and JTs dark haired gf from American Pie were hot too 🔥
Noobitron12@reddit
I was maybe 13 when My Two Dads aired. Definitely her, She was the one.
SomeVelveteenMorning@reddit
I couldn't really figure out at the time why I kind of crushed on her in that show. I knew I thought she was a bit funny looking, I guess in the nose? So she might be the first girl that I was into despite not really finding her pretty. When Step By Step came around I couldn't find anything attractive about her.
Deep-Interest9947@reddit
In retrospect, he looked like (was) a fully grown man and my 11 year old ass was putting up posters in my room.

I wonder if the teen girls now crush on his son Jungle Jack Perry
bathroomcypher@reddit
that’s exactly the reason why I didn’t notice how hot he was until I rewatched the show in my 20s

terrildactyl@reddit
Seriously. There’s so much loaded into it. The eye movement, the tiny smirk, the parted lips.
As an adult it reads as, “I’m checking if the coast is clear, because I want to get up to some grown-up mischief,” but I remember little me thinking “boy, why do I like it when she looks side-to-side like that so much?”.
goater10@reddit
The eyes Chico, they never lie.
BilliousN@reddit
If you get a chance, look up the interview where she explained what she was doing. It was just stage nerves! She would pick out two audience members - one left, one right - and just sing to them so she wouldn't be overwhelmed by the crowd. In that filming, they caught her changing glances from one to the other and a million adolescent crushes were spawned.

SomeVelveteenMorning@reddit
She was the one for me. Just slightly older than me, so I got to see her develop right as I was becoming more beholden to hormones.
Jodie Sweetin was another. She was slightly younger than me. She surprised me because I couldn't stand her on Full House but I came across an episode a while after I'd last watched the show and she was suddenly this gorgeous teenager.
Oh... and also from ABC's TGIF line-up was the younger, tomboy daughter from Step By Step. Forget her name... Another case of not really paying attention to her but then suddenly BAM she's beautiful.
And for a while I was all about Tatyana Ali, especially after she hit puberty. She was so fine. Goodness.

No, I didn’t mean my comment that way. Straight men should not feel defensive in saying other men are attractive. This is the problem - this is what makes them be so defensive. You’re both showing weakness, frankly. And being gay isn’t a negative.

She had a round face. Big deal. No wonder she seems to have body issues still as an adult 😵💫
Rough-Boot9086@reddit
Why do you think she has body issues as an adult ?
Tiny-Reading5982@reddit
She is really thin and when I was on Facebook/Instagram most of her posts were diet or exercise related.
XainRoss@reddit
Wow, she was a very healthy weight. It is terrible that there are people that think she was fat.
trustedbyamillion@reddit
Not for TV.
XainRoss@reddit
See, that is part of the problem. Any teenage boy would have been lucky to have a girlfriend that looked like that. Hollywood creates unrealistic expectations. It is terrible for the self esteem of girls and women. So many have suffered from eating disorders or worse because of this. We need to normalize normal healthy looking women.

My husband did . He went to see her at the mall for an event
Not_So_Bad_Andy@reddit
I 100% did.
Tia_Baggs@reddit
It was the smile.

So... with regards to DJ. I was a younger brother, and when I saw her, I felt she was more my older brother's age and assumed that he would be a more natural choice, which left me with Stephanie, and I did not like her one bit... not sure why.

Why is Winnie Cooper never in these types of memes? Wonder Years was like the more mature forerunner to Boy Meets World. Don't get me wrong, I totally had a crush on Topanga, too but I know so many dudes my age that were totally in love with Winnie before Topanga ever graced their TV screen.

Kelly Kapowski and DJ Tanner. I’m old.

Punky Brewster. I tied a handkerchief around my leg.

Kelly bundy for the win. Schwing
Msheehan419@reddit
They are all pretty and I wanted to look like all of them but Kelly Bundy is in another league
Clean-Witness8407@reddit (OP)
Absolutely. I put her first for that very reason.
Msheehan419@reddit
Exactly.
My top 3 Applegate Anniston Penny from TBT
I also wanted to look like Melody from Hey dude and Dena from salute your shorts.
Jackie was gorgeous but I was a little older when that came out so I didn’t want to look like her until now. Lol.

AlienDog496@reddit
Look, I know Babs Bunny is a cartoon, but she was cute, and more importantly smart and funny. Been searching for the real-world equivalent my whole life.

Reruns of Wonder Woman on USA. Linda Carter made me feel funny. I need a cigarette just thinking about it.
OrlandoOpossum@reddit
Winnie Cooper
BulimicMosquitos@reddit
Maria from Sesame Street. When I was 5 I wrote her a “love letter” and asked my mom if she would mail it to her. Once puberty hit, definitely Kelly Kapowski.
Zsirhcz1981@reddit
DJ was my first. Topanga was 2nd.
needsZAZZ665@reddit
Laura Winslow from Family Matters. Steve Urkel and I had the same taste in women.
Life_Grade1900@reddit
Pink power ranger
Srslywhyumadbro@reddit
I was a bit late to the party as an '83, but (after Kelly Kapowski) for me it was Jessica Alba in 1999's Idle Hands.
Just unreal, my brain did not even know what to do with all that.
Also the movie had a righteous cameo by The Offspring which was a fave band at the time.
Honestly imma go rewatch it. I feel like it's probably a cult classic at this point, maybe it holds up.

Christina Applegate was better looking than the other three combined.
M1Z1L4@reddit
Mine is wild. Sally, from Encyclopedia Browne, the tv show. Played by Laura Bridge. Show aired in '89 so I was like 8-9. It was on HBO so I must have randomly caught a couple episodes while staying with my cousin.
iMichaelBrien@reddit
Topanga
bgva@reddit
Vanna White. When I was about 5, my cousin and I would "wrestle" to kiss the TV screen every time she showed up on Wheel of Fortune.
Ness_of_Onett@reddit
Topanga a million times over and other!!!
Vegskipxx@reddit
Amy Jo Johnson. She was BEYOND gorgeous!
Geekboxing@reddit
Oh, first probably would have been Barbara Feldon (Get Smart), or maybe Danica McKellar (Wonder Years). But Gillian Anderson (X-Files) and Vanessa Angel (Weird Science) also jump to mind.

Definitely Kelly bundy
Scion41790@reddit
The pink ranger and Sabrina were 1st. But my favorite was Topanga. Especially late season only main character that was curvy/thick
Sea_Baseball_7410@reddit
Topanga and Jennifer Connelly.

All the girls in those pics except for Topanga were my first TV crushes. But, Kelly was first.

Tiffany was the earliest one I can remember. I must have been about 7 or 8.

Trade DJ for Jelly Kapowski and you have my top 4.
Dazzling_Line_8482@reddit
Topanga (Danielle Fishel) and the Pink Power Ranger (Amy Jo Johnson) are two notable ones.

Elisabeth Shue was and still is the best... a-round
