Enough with the trivialities

<p>Oooh - favorite Beatle?
Back then? Paul.
Later on, probably George.</p>

102

<p>Cubby the Mouseketeer! Amazing. Was he the drummer?</p>

<p>Was he before or after: “Hi, I’m Annette…”</p>

103

<p>bz2010: Batman? Adam West??
my goodness…!</p>

104

<p>Considering all the boys who had crushes on Annette, it’s only fair that Cubby get in on the action a bit too-</p>

105

<p>First crush, definitely David Cassidy. I had every Partridge Family album and knew all the words. </p>

<p>Back to sexiest man…anybody for McDreamy on Grey’s Anatomy?</p>

106

<p>How embarrassing…Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees.</p>

107

<p>Opie - I had no idea so many others see Kyle Chandler as I do. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: !! I was also (off topic, I know - sorry!) disappointed in the plot with the dead body. It was so cool to watch the r/ship b/w Landry and Tyra blossom. I felt that they handled it so sweetly, you could actually feel the excitement. And then the stupid ‘body dumping’! The part about Landry’s Dad going to see Tyra, her following his orders and then the Dad burning the car! Stupid and cliche! Hopefully they will wrap that up quickly and neatly and get back on track!<br>
As for first crushes…mine was Scott Baio! HOW embarassing is THAT!!!
LOL! This is fun!</p>

<p>I think Karen was Cubby’s partner. Annette was a teen-ager, Cubby must have been around 10-12. :)</p>

<p>Here we go:</p>

<p>[Cubby</a> O’Brien Mouseketeers in Classic Movie Kids, featuring  child stars and actors of yesteryear.](<a href=“Classic Movie Kids home page”>Cubby O'Brien Mouseketeers in Classic Movie Kids, featuring  child stars and actors of yesteryear.)</p>

<p>He’s only 5 years older than I am. So, he was 10.</p>

109

<p>Curmudgeon</p>

110

<p>My childhood crush was also a Mouseketeer but I didn’t adore him til he was on The Rifleman, Johnny Crawford. :)</p>

111

<p>“Curmudgeon”</p>

<p>Which teen idol is Curm and does he wear leather pants?</p>

112

<p>Oh I figured WashDad didn’t crush on Curmudgeon but was calling him into the room for help.</p>

<p>Falling over laughing, it’s dangerous.</p>

113

<p>Not leather pants, leather chaps, being a motorcycle dude and all ;)</p>

114

<p>Hugh Laurie, Mandy Patinkin. Love the eyes. Great singing voice also helps.</p>

<p>First teeny crush: Bobby Sherman, then Donny Osmond. For YEARS. My parents painted my room purple (in military housing, so they had to re-paint it when we moved). My dad refinished a dresser in purple and white, and my mom bought me a purple area rug. </p>

<p>Geez. And I took it all for granted…</p>

115

<p>“then Donny Osmond. For YEARS”</p>

<p>Oh me too. I still smile every time I see him. Bless his heart.</p>

116

<br>

<br>

<p>Which teen idol is Curm and does he wear leather pants?>></p>

<p>Oh, I see. Our Curm is James Dean redux.</p>

117

<p>Can’t think of any ladies back in the day that I singled out, they were all beautiful to me. </p>

<p>Linda Ronstat, Carley Simon, anyone blonde :slight_smile: I don’t know… I was easy… :slight_smile: </p>

<p>nikrud, I’m glad to see somebody else went Whaaaa? over the dead body thing. It just wasn’t necessary to the plot. I was throughly enjoying the courtship of the math geek and worldly young woman. I enjoyed watching her figure it out slowly that the choice was someone who cared for her (Landry) or someone who saw her as a convience (riggins). I think we didn’t need a death for her to smarten up… totally unnecessary and takes away from the story. It would have been nice to see an average caring guy, get the pretty girl, no? </p>

<p>FNLs is one of the first shows in a long time that “we” (wife and I) enjoy together. For the most part the writing and acting is top notch. I love the enteraction between characters…</p>

<p>I am curious to see where they take it next between coaches daugther and QB. Another one of those really nice kids, we hope our D’s end up with, but I have to admit I see alot of life truth in her dumping him. </p>

<p>Sometimes you wish when you touched a person’s hand you could see glimpses of the future together. It would keep alot of girls from marrying really bad choices and having second families… </p>

<p>I hope the QB doesn’t have to kill anybody, and the new cheerleader is temporary till basketball season, then she’ll date the point guard…</p>

<p>The characters in that sleepy Texas town, exist in a lot of places…</p>

<p>My Tigerbeat Cover heart throb was Leif Garrett.

<p>Sadly (drugs/alcohol), he has not aged well. :frowning:

<p>That’s Leif Garrett?!
He was after my time, but I knew who he was from those magazine covers. What a shame. Drugs?</p>

120

<p>He was in a serious wreck while DUI in his late teens/early twenties, and his friend, who was riding with him, was paralyzed. I think he continued to spiral down after that.</p>
