My wife saw my list, probably got a little jealous (just kidding, Honey), and decided to come up with her own list of adolescent crushes. (I need to come up with a nickname for my wife for this blog. I’m probably going with ‘My Honey’ but I haven’t decided for sure. At least for this post she’ll be Honey.
She said all five of these guys were “Babes.” I respectfully disagree. Her taste in men definitely improved right around the time she met me.
Now here’s her list of crushes. Ladies – what do you think?
1. Jan Michael Vincent
2. Kent McCord (James Reed from ‘Adam 12′)
3. Patrick Duffy (Bobby Ewing from ‘Dallas’)
4. Erik Estrada (Ponch from ‘CHiPs’)
5. Randolph Mantooth (Paramedic Johnny Gage from ‘Emergency’)
Now, let’s see how these guys have aged. And I promise I didn’t pick the worst pictures I could find. These guys just haven’t aged well like my crushes did. Sorry, Honey!
Jan-Michael Vincent
Kent McCord
Patrick Duffy
Erik Estrada
Randolph Mantooth

Honestly I would not have chosen any of those guys – my best friend in grade school had a huge crush on Jan Michael Vincent too and I just could not understand why. He looks *seriously* creepy now. Patrick Duffy looked good then & now but is old for my personal taste. But I must say, I think that Kent McCord & Randolph Mantooth look better now than then! She did a good job with those two and Patrick Duffy.
Of your crushes, I think Justine Bateman looks kinda freaky now – in the current picture you posted, anyway. All the others look fabulous! Must be nice for all these folks to have a make-up & hair team on site before public appearances.

Me again. Realized I didn’t cover the whole list. I do remember thinking that Eric Estrada was kinda hot, but I think that was more peer pressure than true crush. And again, may I say, while JMV’s bod looks H.A.W.T. in that “then” photo up there, the face is important, too, and his never did a thing for me.

Sounds to me like you might be a little jealous of wife’s picks, hehehehe. Eric Estrda and Jan Michael Vincent made more lists than they were cut from. Then again, we were silly teeny-boppers!

Didn’t mean to submit that anonymously. The morning coffe just hasn’t powered my brain yet.

Sorry Daddy Dan’s Honey…but a big respectful eww!!! I’ll have to give some serious thought about my top five, but these guys would come no where near it!
Your chick list rocked though

OMG… I am so amazed, because these guys were all my childhood crushes too. Seriously! Randolph Mantooth, especially. I never missed a night of “Emergency!” Randolph and Patrick Duffy are still lookin’ good in my book!
