Yes, orth, I am. I've been meaning to change my nick to jtleroyssi4r.
My sister had this great picture of Gary and Loni Anderson (whom he dated for awhile) complete with massive feathered hair and short shorts. It rocked. But she hung it in her restaurant and some jerk stole it.
Waitaminute! Are you making some kind of comparison between characters on "Gilligan's Island" and "WKRP in Cincinnati"??? I mean, we're talking about two different universes here! (And they ain't parallel.) OK, both shows were on CBS, but on that basis shouldn't they both go up against the current leader in her fanlust field, Lily from "How I Met Your Mother"?
Lister: Rimmer. You ever see the Flintstones?
Rimmer: Sure.
Lister: D'ya think Wilma's sexy?
Cat: Wilma Flintstone?
Lister: Maybe we've been alone in deep space too long, but every time I see that body,
it drives me crazy. Is it me?
Cat: Well, I think in all probability, Wilma Flintstone is the most desirable woman that ever lived.
Lister: That's good. I thought I was going strange.
Cat: She's incredible!
Lister: What d'ya think of Betty?
Cat: Betty Rubble? Well, I would go with Betty... but I'd be thinking of Wilma.
Lister: This is crazy. Why are we talking about going to bed with Wilma Flintstone?
Cat: You're right. We're nuts. This is an insane conversation.
Lister: She'll never leave Fred, and we know it.
BWAAAAHHHH! Oh I am so affirmed j-ro! Yes! badassery, orphan status, long dark curls, and the adenoids so he talked funny. And he would cry all the time and get those long lashes all wet. "Pwa, you gotta help me Pwa. . " Oh man. And they stuck him naked in a bathtub full of ice once, for a fever. "Run get Doc Baker, Half Pint!" Glorious! (Er. . .we were kids at the time, everybody)
Maynard was definitely cooler, but Dobie had this ruminative quality that I really liked. He was so open, the way he'd sit in the park and mull and philosophize over things. Plus I really wanted to run my fingers through that thick, straw-colored brush cut of his.
However, it is unusual that I would go for the blond leading man in any context. For instance, when it comes to the Archie gang, I am a total Jughead girl. Given the standard social scenario, I will look right by Mr. All-That and set my sights on his quirky, less conventionally attractive, less predictable, and somewhat withdrawn sidekick. So Dobie is the exception rather than the rule.
You know that scene in the The Incredibles when Elastigirl gets stuck in the doors and her big ass is sticking out on the one side and she's beating up those dudes on the other side? Fawk, that was so hot.
