Growing up on TV. Who did you wish to be like?

[VINMAN]

Nobody wanted to be one of the Brady boys?

[scottmandue]

George Jetson... get to fly a spacecraft to work everyday! And Jane Jetson was hot!

[Eric Hahl]

The Fonz & the 6 million dollar man!

[12own911]

Jan Brady becuase she was neat...

[bivenator]

James Rockford, Rockford Files. Gold trans-am was pretty boss.

[AFC-911]

Michael Jordan.

As far as fictional TV, I was busy admiring Tiffani Amber Theissen. Who cares about the male characters? lol.




PS - I don't know 90% of the people y'all are naming.

I'd envision me (as Willis) and Kimberly finding ourselves alone in the apartment while Phillip, Arnold, et al were out on some wacky adventure . . .

If you'd run into the actress who played Kimberly later in life, you could have played out your fantasy for a very reasonable price.

You're just too young to have seen all these shows.. lucky you

Rockford - sans mobile home!

I wanted to be Doogie Howser. Around Jr High I realized I would never be that smart and I've been a chronic under acheiver ever since.

I blame that show for a lot of my problems.

[911/914gary]

Hands down, Captain Kirk! He had best ship in Starfleet with a cool chair, the coolest friends (Spook and McCoy), the best women (human or alien) and took care of matters with a fist fight or his handy phaser.
Next would have been Magnum PI for almost the same reasons!

I hope you are not serious. I don't believe in underachievement. We used to have a member here whose user name was overpaidslacker. Hell, he achieved something right there! To get paid for underachievement.

Anything you do to the reasonable best of your ability and to a reasonable state of completion is an achievement. If you have a job, you've achieved what many have not.

I could go on and on.

Where's my Tony Robbins tapes?

[willtel]

I wanted to be Ricky Schroder's character on Silver Spoons. They had a little train that went around the house, a remote control front door, and this lady running around as a personal assistant.

Well, there is that thing of having three girls move in with you that are not blood relatives...

Did I just type that out loud?

A lot that 'look like her'?

Oh you mean like my wife? She's Indian. Seriously man? Don't be a bigot.

[Les Paul]

James West, kicked ass every week, had cool gadgets, and got more p-ssy than Motion.

I really don't think he was. Jeez, can't we say something about how an ethnic woman might look in her own way? I see lots of comments about Asian women here and no one seem to think anyone is a bigot for mentioning "Asian."

[bivenator]

Exactly^^^^ I didn't think what he typed or his intent was bigoted.

She was in Buck Rogers as well, which was a more apealing show to a young boy like me.
