I'm gonna be a bit... well... a bit of a pig today. Mind you, it's more a "re-living past piggishness" moment... because even though I was really raised in a fairly up-front matriarchal family, I still had hormones... and because of those, I was... well... "drawn" to certain women on TV. So, here's my list of...

#13: Colonel Wilma Deering

From the series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, actress Erin Gray set up a lifelong "thing" about women who look good in helmets.

#12: Mrs. Emma Peel

Diana Rigg played the unflappable and assuredly "kick-butt" superspy in The Avengers... and although no slouch in the looks and "kick-butt" department, I'm sorry to say that Uma Thurman just wasn't as... um... "intriguing" to me personally in the more recent movie release.

#11: Romanadvoratrelundar (Romana for short...) Second "Regeneration"

Don't think Doctor Who will be missed by me in this list... I'll be hitting another companion shortly. The interestingly named Lalla Ward (actually, she was born "Sarah" Ward... but who's splitting hairs?) was the Fourth Doctor's companion... and the Fourth Doctor's companion! (She was dating and briefly was married to Tom Baker while the production was going on.) Add interest to her story, author Douglas Adams was the fella that introduced her to her husband in 1992, Professor Richard Dawkins. She's quite fond of knitting and embroidery... and when I was a lad, she was the measure by which all "cute girls" were measured in my tiny male-hormone addled mind.

#10: Wonder Woman

Do I really, Really, REALLY need to explain to any male who was alive and had access to a television set between the years 1975 and 1979 why Lynda Carter got my attention? No? Good.

#9: Perpugilliam Brown (Peri for short...)

Doctor Who again... Age wise, Ms. Nicola Bryant and I are only three years apart... but as a "very young adult", Peri won me over as a companion to the Fifth and Sixth Doctors despite a rather sketchy American accent... and looked FANTASTIC in a bathing suit. What's really fantastic is I've seen recent photos and she still is a spectacular looking lady! (...and I still got ONE Doctor Who companion left in this list...)

#8: Sabrina Duncan

Much like males of a certain age only watched "" for... um... specific reasons, many young men in my youth watched Charlie's Angels for... um... specific reasons. Most of them for Farrah Fawcett-Majors who was/is a very beautiful woman... and a brave fighter... but me, I had a thing for Kate Jackson. Not that Farah nor Jaclyn Smith were slouches by any stretch, I just had a "thing". Sadly, there were plenty of Farah posters for my chums in junior high... but precious few of Ms. Jackson.

#7: Terri Alden

Again, bucking a trend... and again, Suzanne Summers is a fabulously striking lady (who looks pretty much as good now as "back then",) and all my friends were all about "Chrissy Snow" in the show Three's Company, I fell for the tall blonde "replacement" (HARDLY!) in the form of Priscilla Barnes... To each their own, even back then!

#6: Constance Weldon Carlyle

Oh yes, Morgan Fairchild caught my youthful interest... not that I ever saw a single episode of Flamingo Road, but I made a genuine effort to catch each and every interview on the talk show circuit she did... and to get my viewership, all you had to say about your TV show was Guest Starring Morgan Fairchild!

#5: Bailey Quarters

This one, back when, I found I was not alone in this. Often "overshadowed" by the rather unmissable Loni Anderson, Jan Smithers had quite the following in my junior high and high school with the young fellas. Perhaps our tastes were maturing (HAHAHAHAHA!) from years of Farah worship and we now wanted more "down to earth" kinda gals. (Yeah, like Jan Smithers' was somehow in our league!)

#4: Ann Marie

Okay, so Phil Donahue managed to snag her, that didn't take away my youthful exuberance in watching a young Marlo Thomas in That Girl... I was particularly jealous of Ted Bessell when watching that show!

#3: Ginger Grant

I think this answers the whole "Ginger or Marie-Ann" question you might have had with me... yup... the great Gilligan's Island question... right up there with "Betty or Veronica"... (Veronica, by the way... I like a challenge!)

#2: Jeannie

Okay, like with Lynda Carter above... do I really, Really, REALLY need to explain to any male who was alive and had access to a television set between the years 1965 and 1970 (and beyond in re-runs which is when I caught it,) why Barbara Eden got my attention? No? Okay, we're good here.

#1: Leela

My final Doctor Who companion to end of this list... In her "savage" outfit and accompanied by a hunter's instinct, Louise Jameson struck a note as a companion to the Fourth Doctor that stuck with me pretty much all through life... yup... a life-long thing for sexy, aggressive women. (Just ask Sue!)
