Here is who I think of what I think Johnny Bravo...
That's right baby. Greg Brady, leaving the Silver Platters behind and goin' solo!!!I admit... I me a little crush on Greg back in the day. He was smooth, he was cool, and he was nice to his mama. What more could you want?
After a time though a new love wandered into my life...
Oh yes.... I loved me some Manly.... who WOULDN'T! Look at that smile!! That head of hair. Now - interestingly enough, when I was looking for a picture of Almanzo, I ran across one of the REAL Almanzo Wilder and I gotta tell ya... I think he's a hottie:
What do you think?
The from the past to the future, I discovered this hunk of Masculinity:
Mmmm.... he WAS tasty back in the day. The ONLY fan letter I ever wrote in my whole life was to him. I got... NOTHING back. I'll be okay about that.... eventually.
After a string of "older" men, I turned my attentions to more attainable boys... ie Ricky & Jason:
And I think I showed EXCELLENT taste... cause look at them now (yeah... I admit, doin' the Daddy thing is TOTALLY hot):
And then there were these two:
Ahhhh.. thank you 80's television for teenybopper eye candy.
And thanks to John Hughes, the king of 80's teen movies, for this discovery:
Jake Ryan? He doesn't even know you exist.... *sigh*
There they are... my heartthrobs of childhood/teenager...dom?
So who did you have a thing for? Where are they now? Do they make teen heartthrobs like they used to? Did you think this post would end with a picture of Mr. B? HA HA!!!!

JAKE RYAN!!!!!!
Best ending of a movie ever...the two of them, on the table, kissing over that cake. Phenomenal.
"Whassa happenin', hot stuff?"
How could you forget Keith Partridge?? And, Bobby Sherman??
or am I showing my age here?
OMG! Jake Ryan!! Ahhhh! OH and Kirk Cameron, he was so cute.
I loved me some Rick Springfield and I STILLLL do!
Tom Sellick, New Kids on the Block, Sting, and MJ Fox.
Swirl Girl, I am so right there with you--we can be old together! David Cassidy. I entered a photo contest where some lucky girl who submitted her photo would get to co-star on a Partridge Family episode. I was like 10 and I sent in my second grade picture. How did I know even then that I had been much cuter before I hit that awkward age? Yes, Keith David Cassidy Partridge it is.
I had a thing for Jonathan Taylor Thomas - middle kid in Home Improvement. Those baby blues stared down on me in my room from his posters. Haha! Weird. (Also - Joey from New Kids on the Block was a big heart throb!)
My heart was with Leif Garrett, Peter Frampton, and Shawn Cassidy! I tore apart my Tiger Beat and put their pictures all over my room. Does Tiger Beat still exist? My son's girlfriend has a poster of Edward Cullen on the back of her bedroom door that she showed me when I was over there. It was so funny because it was almost like she wanted to make sure that my son didn't see it.
My crushes nowadays are Brendan Fraser and the guy who plays Charlie in Twilight, Billy Burke.
OMG...ending witht that picture of Jake! OOO Jake Ryan! I was 16 when that movie came and was on date with my High School Sweet heart and I remember sitiing there feeling LIKE I was cheating on HIM because I was Lusting after JAKE. Why couldn't my High School sweetheart been a Jake Ryan!
I so totally agree with your picks. I would have to add Rob Lowe though. I had a poster of him on my bedroom closet. He just was pleasing to look at every day!!
I liked Manly too. I thought he was just something. Poor Manly, getting sick, and having to have an ice bath to survive. I also liked Albert--after the Ingalls took him in and cleaned him up. =)
Dittos on the Kirk Cameron .. Is it bad that, besides Greg Brady and Micheal J. Fox, I don't really know who the rest of them are?
Oh, and the Hoff .. but I can only picture him singing to sold out crowds in Germany. *shrug*
My biggest teeny crush? The Hanson brothers of Mmmbop fame. Taylor as a teeny, but Zach as I got older. Their faces were plastered on my walls for-ever!
Still love Dennis Quaid...He has held up very nicely!
Jake Ryan - awesome. Michael J. Fox - loved him. Ricky Shroeder - probably my first crush. Knight Rider - yum (back then, now, not so much). Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
AhhhhhhManly......
The real one is SO handsome too.
You forgot someone though.
Someone who still hollds my heart to this very day.
Keith Partridge.
I love him.
You missed one of my dreamboys. What about Ralph Machio (sp) from Karate Kid? I loved him, Ricky and Kirk most! Haaaaa...Ricky and Kirk still make my heart go pitter patter a little bit.
Well, I was *supposed* to be married to John Taylor from Duran Duran ... but he never called me. Can you believe that?!
Michael J. Fox was my man! and Jake Ryan...swoon....my heart still skips a beat when I think of that final scene in sixteen candles. How about "Say Anything?" John Cusack was a cutie in that!
Shaun Cassidy was my first crush. Those eyes! I had his picture on my door forever.
But, Jake Ryan... oh my!
I was totally a Sean Cassidy girl. And guess what? I sat near him and his mom (Mrs. Partridge) Shirley Jones on an flight a while back. He's still pretty HOT for an old guy!
I am with Saving the Day. I liked John Taylor. And Adam Ant. But...oh, bestill my heart at Jake Ryan.
And what makes a teen heartthrob? Katie likes Edward Cullen. And Madalyn is all about Justin Timberlake. They are both pretty hot :-)
whatEVER Mel - since John Taylor was supposed to marry ME.
But beyond that, when I was younger, I was a big Andy Gibb and Rex Smith fan *swoon*
I loved me some Coreys. They had a show together a few years ago, and I didn't like either of them any more.
And what about the Dukes of Hazard boys? I used to have mad love for the blonde one.
I forgot about Derek "aka Jason Bateman"! He was so awesome.
I was a big Kirk Cameron fan and believe it or not, Elvis. I had his younger day black and whites on my closet door.
New Kids, I'm ashamed to say, were an obsession of mine.
I feel so smart that I knew the answer to your trivia question.
I have to say that Andrew McCartney, in Pretty in Pink, was attractive.
Okay, this song from, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is playing on your blog and I just have chill bumps. This song is so dreamy.
♫Feels like home to me♫
Glad to see someone else mention Rick Springfield---who remains, to this day, my heartthrob. Talent and beauty, inside and out...can't beat that with a stick.
My teen heartthrob hottie was David Cassidy... Keith Partridge *swoon*
Shawn Cassidy, I sang the Doo Run song and kissed the Album!
AAh, the "Rickster" was my total heartthrob.
Jake's my MAN!!!! Hahaha! Love that movie.
Today, at the Pawn Shop (because yes...I've found it's the best place to buy DVDs - for only $2.99 ea!) I bought VALLEY GIRL! Hahaha!
A friend of mine reignited my passionate love for all things Jason Bateman.
The two of us awarded him the coveted: Child Star Who Aged The Best trophy.
