I always liked the slightly geekier girls, so Tracey Gold from Growing Pains was a favorite, as well as Allison Smith and Ari Meyers from Kate & Allie.

Marie Osmond (long hair) - The Donny & Marie Show
Cher (long hair)- The Sonny & Cher Show
Eve Plumb (long hair) - The Brady Bunch
Susan St. James (very long hair) - McMillan & Wife
Valerie Bertinelli (very long hair) - One Day at a Time

I believe that was it.

Chris

edited to add : all of them had dark hair, except Eve Plumb. That is still my preference today and always will be, dark eyes, dark long hair!

Jamie Luner and Brooke Theiss from Just the Ten of Us.

Are we talking young hotties that were growing up along with us, or can I throw in names like Erin Gray?

Jamie Luner for sure. Also loved Erin Gray, but saw her mainly on Silver Spoons. I don't know what it is, but I also never saw the big deal about Alyssa Milano. Still don't, actually.

There weren't many (any?) hot teenage girls on TV around 1980.

Looks like me and BassDude are fishin' in the same stream. But, Kristy McNichol? She's a man, baybee!


Howzabout --> Valerie Bertanelli from One Day At A Time

Charlie's Angels cast comes to mind, but I'm not quite sure I was completely aware of why I thought they were hot and what I wanted to do about it. It was just beginning to dawn on me that I was wrong when I told my dad that I'd never kiss a girl.

When Kelly Bundy came around, though, my step-mom had to buy a lot of extra toilet paper. She thought I was having stomach problems. I guess that I kind of was.

Between the Angels and Kelly, I didn't watch a lot of tv, but Mallory was pretty nice to look at.

While quite a bit older than me, the only one that comes to mind is:

Dana Delaney on China Beach.

I was only about 8 or 9 but I had a major crush on her, still do actually.

Depending upon the OPs intent...

As far as women that were on TV shows I grew up watching...

Oddly enough, Most of my attention was focused toward the women on TV, not the actresses that were my age as I was growing up.

Kate Jackson on Charlie's Angels...yum. As someone else mentioned, at my age I didn't necessarily know what to do with a hot woman, but I knew there had to be something. Other people could have Farrah or Jacklyn (sp?) I wanted Ms. Jackson.

Valerie Bertinelli...yumx2

Catherine Bach...legs...legs...legs

Marie Osmond

I always kinda liked Pam Dawber on Mork & Mindy.

Like a previous poster, I always leaned more towards the raven haired beauties than the sterotypical blonde poster girls (Farrah, Heather L, etc).

Wanda Plenn(Lisa Dean Ryan) from Doogie Howser M.D. She couldn't act her way out of a paper bag, but damn that girl was hot.

The actress on Growing Pains that Kirk Cameron married in real life was hot.

Also, Courteney Cox when she was on Family Ties.

I would vote Barbara Eden and Dawn Wells, even though the shows were old and in syndication when I was a teenager.

No brainer for me.......

Alyssa Milano and Nicole Eggert

Question, seeing now how hot Alyssa Milano is now on Charmed....am I a dirty 32 year old if I still see Alyssa Milano as hot back in the "Who's the Boss" days when I watch reruns?
