RSSIt's Time Once Again for Fearless Predictions
So who do you think Wilson is dating on House?
That's the big reveal coming our way in the Super Bowl House episode this Sunday immediately following the big game on FOX.
I'm doubling down on it being Thirteen. Who is with me? Talk about who you think Wilson has been secretly dating below.
This Week's Topic
Last week we had so much fun talking about which shows were cancelled way too soon that I thought I'd make it a regular thing to pick a topic and, as Mike Myers used to say, talk amongst ourselves about it.
And since I've already over shared with you and we have no TV secrets, I thought this week we could discuss our first TV crush. As a child, I had two --Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard) on Happy Days and Frank Hardy (Parker Stevenson) on The Hardy Boys. I could tell you how my friend Kelly and I used to pretend we were on double dates with them (she always chose the Fonz and Joe Hardy) but that would be WAY too embarrassing.
Who was your first TV crush? Talk about it below.
Quotes of the Week
"I don't think we did the right thing Jack. I think it wants us to come back and it's going to do everything it can." Hurley to Jack on Lost. AAAAACCCK!
"You have just given this award to a hat rack." Tina Fey accepting her Screen Actors Guild Award and giving credit to Alec Baldwin for making her look good.
"Stress can give you premature grays. It doesn't make legendary British pop stars sing their greatest hits from your couch." Eli to his brother when they are trying to diagnose his hallucinations on Eli Stone. Thanks to Sandy for the quote.
"It's like fatal attraction all over again. Why does the rabbit always get screwed in the deal? Poor little guy." Dean when they find a dead rabbit in a witch's house on Supernatural.
"So the kid pretending to be your illegitimate son shot and killed your ex-wife's new husband. I think I saw that once on an episode of 'Falcon Crest.'" The detective to Duncan on Big Shots.

That's all for today. I'll be back on Monday with a look at the return of The New Adventures of Old Christine (yay!) and the premiere of the new CBS comedy Welcome to the Captain (booo!). I also have a look at the premiere of Lipstick Jungle and discuss how Lost is completely freaking me out (what did you think of this week's season premiere? Let me know.). Have a question? Seen a familiar face? Want to nominate a quote of the week? Write me at amytvgal@zap2it.com.

My first TV crushes were Shaun C***idy from "The Hardy Boys" and John Schneider from "The Dukes of Hazard". (And that man still looks good! LOL) And also, Rob Lowe. I don't know if anyone will remember this show. It was called "A New Kind Of Family" and I think it only lasted one season in the late 70's. But Rob was on that and as a kid I thought he was so cute! :)
Mine was Don Johnson from his Miami Vice days. Sonny Crockett was simply the coolest thing I could think of in middle school with his pet alligator and eternal brood. I wore my Miami Vice t-shirt, white jacket and pink loafers (no socks!) to school EVERY Friday in preparation for watching the show that night.
Mark Harmon on St. Elswhere. Oh my!
My first crushes were definitely Farrah Fawcett and later Cheryl Ladd from Charlie's Angels. I must have had a thing for busty, leggy blondes when I was eight or nine years old!
Later? Sherilyn Fenn from Twin Peaks (insert Homer Simpson drooling noise now).
John Stamos, during his Full House days. And, oddly enough, Ron Perlman as Vincent on Beauty and the Beast.
My first TV crushes were Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains) and Rich Shroeder (Silver Spoons). I was also an "Uncle Jesse" (John Stamos) fan - still am!
Rick Schroder I meant!
My first TV crush was Dirk Benedict, from Battlestar Galactica and later The A-Team. If you think about it, he played the same kind of character in both. :-)
I'm older than a lot of the people posting here, so my earliest TV crushes may have some of you going "who?", but here goes:
Davy Jones of the Monkees
Bobby Sherman of Here Come the Brides
Burt Ward (Robin)on the Batman TV series - this show was on twice a week so I got to see him twice each week.
My first crushes were Peggy Lipton from The Mod Squad and Cheryl Ladd....
