1. Samantha...Eliabeth Montgomery was my big crush

*sigh*

Beautiful woman.

Barbara Eden, too.

[Kahuna]

2. Stephanie Powers. The Girl From U.N.C.L.E...

Marlo Thomas was good as, "That Girl" also. I liked the mod fashions they wore.

[sendero]

3. When I was a kid ....

... I thought Elizabeth Montgomery was hot, and having watched a couple of Bewitched episodes recently - she is *still* hot :)

It's really probably more her personality than her looks, tho she look fine too...

[supernova]

4. I wanted to be Samatha

She was so cool, and so together, and used her wits to solve the problem, and used her majic in judicious and wise ways to help people.

Second on my list was Emma Peel, from the Avengers. She kicked ass in a cat suit, saving the world from deadly disasters, just in time to go home to fix dinner.

[ForrestGump]

10. I think you ARE Samantha

:D

[supernova]

13. Awww

Forrest! I didn't know you cared! :*

Thanks for that. *blush*

I see you decided to keep "handcuff Salma". Have you seen OUATIM?

[ForrestGump]

16. :-D

Can you do the little nose-wiggle thing, too? I like that.

Nope, I haven't seen that one yet - I tend to get way behind with movies, but it is definitely on my list. Has that Depp chappie, too, huh? :D

[supernova]

18. Yes, I can wiggle my nose!

:D

OUATIM is very fun! Yes, Johnny rocks! Coolest, funniest bad guy ever.

And Salma is very fine. I've become a huge fan of hers since Frida. There's a lot there that I identify with.

5. I think you left out some obvious candidates...

Diana Rigg, Tuesday Weld, and how could you forget Dawn Wells...??

[5thGenDemocrat]

6. Jan Smithers

Bailey Quarters on WKRP. Proof that Dorothy Parker was wrong.
John
Loni Anderson was cool, but Jan Smithers just melted me.

[Cocoa]

7. Mary Richards n/t

[FlashHarry]

8. After I saw Samantha, I didn't even need to see the rest.

Hell, Bewitched is half the reason I work at an ad agency. I keep waiting for Larry Tate to burst into my office to ask me how the Bigelow account is coming...

[foreigncorrespondent]

9. For me it is Linda Carter.

Just watching her get around in her ight little skimpy outfit really did things to this born to be dyke. ;)

[VOX]

11. The Avengers' own Emma Peel -- Diana Rigg.

Hot. Hot. Hot.

:toast:

[theemu]

17. Agreed. Emma Peel all the way

When I was about six or seven (way back in 1990 and 1991), I would come home every day and watch The Avengers, which was being syndicated at that time.

I knew from the first moment I laid eyes on Emma Peel that indeed, I was straight.

[Section_43]

21. couldn't have said it better!

emma emma emma

my bowler is off to you

[Bake]

23. Oh Yeah! Mrs. Peel!!

:-)

Bake

[DemoTex]

12. Penny from "Sky King"

I liked the Cessna Bobcat and early 310, too (the Songbird).

[Pale Blue Dot]

14. Where's Maryann?

Dawn Wells was a hottie!

[Lindacooks]

24. You're right

My husband would vote for her in a second. She was signing her cookbook at the Mall of America in Minneapolis a few years ago, and the line for that signing was so long it was incredible. And she hugged my husband! To this day, he says 'remember, Mary Ann hugged me.'

The funniest thing was that as we got closer, there was a deliberately grungy teen-age couple walking by, and the girl noticed the 'Dawn Wells signing' sign. And she scoffed 'who would stand in line for HER?' Her boyfriend, however, saw the sign and said 'oh my God, Mary Ann!!!!!!!!!' and was hustled away.

[GOPisEvil]

15. Marcia, Marcia, Marcia...

:evilgrin:

Actually, I vote Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island.

[CanuckAmok]

19. OMG! Who voted for Ethyl Mertz?! n/t

[elvisbear]

20. What about Betty Rubble????

Sorry Wilma was a little frumpy.

[Alex88]

22. Bobbi Joe - "Petticoat Juction"

is worthy of consideration.

Tom Snyder had her as guest when he was with CNBC and she looked great.

[Awsi Dooger]

25. Ralph Monroe, the carpenter from Green Acres

Well, I would prefer her to Arnold, anyway. These days I'm willing to accept virtually anything other than a new role for Arnold.

Ralph was half of the clever Monroe Brothers, in those extra sexy work overalls. I think her real name was Mary Canfield, or very close to that.

OK, I actually voted for Barbara Eden above, edging sweet and sexy Mary Ann.

Some other hotties I can think of, from oddball shows of that era:

* the Hee Haw Honeys, including Misty Rowe and Gunilla Hutton
* Carol Cleveland, the one actual female regular from Monty Python's Flying Circus

26. Diane Carroll on Julia - I had a Julia lunchbox
