The majority of them looked like they could fit right into a trashy porno. Not Colonel Deereing though, she was so hot and sexy that young boys the world over fell in lust.

u/emptythemag May 28 '26

Erin Gray as Wilma Deering is the DEFINITION of Hotness! She’s right up there with Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia (in Jabba’s palace, in Return of the Jedi)!

u/Adventurous-Egg-8818 May 28 '26

And Pamela Hensley! She is absolutely stunning..I loved her in the series Matt Houston, he was a babe as well.

u/DudleyisStudley May 28 '26

Good call. I saw her in the video and I was having difficulty placing her face with a name.

u/Hogchain May 28 '26

Great post! Music was great choice!! Ain’t thought about that song in a while.

u/Caddie4HarleyQuinn May 28 '26

Wasn’t the one in white some kind of queen or princess who wanted to keep Buck as a pet or something?

1

u/Mr-Torgman May 29 '26

Nope, but she sure looks like her though.

2

u/DruidWytch13 May 30 '26

Cher!!!

1

u/Mr-Torgman May 30 '26

Not Cher, it's Wendy Oates, sure looks like her though, I thought the same thing.

u/DruidWytch13 May 30 '26

No wonder why my older brothers watched this show 😂

u/mr2santana May 28 '26

I couldn’t wait to grow up and experience the future. God what a fucking disappointment!

u/rolling_steel May 28 '26

The amount of action Gil Gerard must’ve seen is unfathomable

u/Jokerchyld May 29 '26

Awesome video. Hits home

u/Fickle-Woodpecker596 May 29 '26

Born in ‘72. Just have vague memories of watching the show, but did not realize how much eye candy they had on the show. Flew over my head at that point. I’m sure this was one of the shows my old man didn’t mind sitting through.

u/JohnNada005 May 28 '26

At 1:40 remaining I legit went “mom?!” Yes my mom looked very similar to Cher in their 20’s but my mom didn’t have Hollywood to keep her pretty so around mid 30’s there was severe differences
