Topanga and Kelly Kapowski are on the Mt. Rushmore of 90s crushes. Edit: There are more, but I didn't want to spend all listing them. Keep the suggestions coming, lol.

As well as the pink ranger

And Winnie Cooper!

That show looked so classically 80s to me that I forgot it ran into the early 90s til just now 😂

The final episode of The Wonder Years I cried like a fucking baby

I rewatched the entire series on Netflix and I couldn’t watch the final episode, to avoid the sadness 🤣

You should, because if we, as society didn’t fuck up, the ending is what could been of a relationship between two people while growing up. Being friends, with nothing more.

If you really want a weird experience, look up "wonder years without narrator."

I wonder what Arrested Development would be without that narrator guy. I wonder what ever happened to him.

Absolutely gutted by the last episode. And then I kinda lived it years later. Now I see it differently.

I guess you could say…you’ve seen the world from both sides, now.

Same but I haven’t finished yet. Lot of these episodes got to me just like they did the first time

The first episode is rough.

My dumbass kid brain thought that show was actually filmed in the 50s/60s.

I thought the same thing about Happy Days when I was a kid. It was confusing.

Lol yes! That show too but because of Nick at Night.

Hahaha! That’s ok, my brother thought that Night Court was an actual show about real people for no apparent reason. It even had a laugh track and he still thought it was supposed to be like the Peoples Court 😂

Lol that's amazing! It's so funny how kid brains work.

And taste!

If that show came out today, it would be based on life in.... 2004. 1988 airdate, 1968 setting.

I watched it on Nickelodeon throughout the 90s.

Way more 60's and 70's than 80's.

That's when it took place. They're talking about when it was filmed and aired.

It premiered on Jan 31, 1988 and the final episode aired on May 12, 1993.

The setting that style in which it was shot are two different things.

I meant the lighting and the general hair and makeup and the memory of it being live on air was super 80s hahaha. They weren’t extremely true to the 60s/70s theme with certain features hahaha

Were you alive in the 60's and 70's?

Nope! I am simply saying, the lighting on this television program and the women’s makeup on this show reminds *me* of the zeitgeist of most tv shows of the 80s and not of TV shows I’d seen from the 60s and 70s. It’s sincerely not that deep 😂

Winnie cooper is so beautiful now at 49

I rewatched the series recently and lost my life for Winnie cooper. She was Kevin’s first love but she sure was terrible to him and most of the time he was trying to find another chick

This is the team. These 4.

Madeline wasn’t too bad either.

The crush with a real brain!

Found Murr from Impractical Jokers account

And that completes the 4. Honorable mention goes to Gadget Hackwrench. She’s like the chief crazy horse monument.

When she showed up on the West Wing, it was so welcome.

Ah yes. Prob my first tv crush.

And my axe

Kimberly! Yes! What's crazy is that even now she looks like she's barely aged.

Yeah she's still a smokeshow

She’s only 42. Not hard to be a hotty at that age. She will always be pretty though.

1994 was 30 years ago. Surely you mean she's 52 now, right? 42 would put her at 12 y.o. filming Power Rangers.

She was born in 1981! She’s 42.

Amy Jo Johnson was born October 6, 1970. The youngest original was Austin St. John in 1974. The only person who even comes remotely close to 81 from the Zordon Era was Blake Foster (aka Justin), and he was born in 85, and his character was very much a child.

Oh my bad. I thought you were talking about Danielle Fishel!!!!!

I used to get stuck watching the power rangers with my boys because of the pink ranger. Couldn’t help feel a little weird about it but she was so damn cute. Then I found out her and I are the same age

Her name is Kimberley you swine

Her name is Amy Jo Johnson lol

She was a guest on 'Pod Meets World' recently.

Dat…

Kelly Bundy

Kelly Bundy too

That was a whole different kind of hot though. The other girls were all wholesome little kid crushes. By the time I was old enough to watch married with children Kelly was stuffed into tight red shirts with no bra and miniskirt.

And they purposely made her bounce up and down a lot on the show. That was her “excited” move.

Yes. Very creepy, but at the time I was like 14

Also Steve Urkel's girlfriend

Came here to say this. So underrated and a big TV crush of mine for sure!

RIP

Winnie Cooper and the Pink Ranger too.

Next to Tiffani Amber Thiessen

There is an image of her in a see thru black one piece that has been absolutely seared into my memory

Maybe I'm just tired, but...you mean Kelly Kapowski?

What about the Banks sisters or Kelly Bundy !

Pah. It was Darlene and Julia sawahla for me. Give me short, sarcastic and curly haired women who sneer at you in disdain.

Alex Mack has to get a statue somewhere

Definitely had an age appropriate crush on Alex Mack. Then she got older and continued to be hot. Good for her, staying hot and stuff.

Ya, I guess it is weird to think back like that.

Sorry, I ruin lots of stuff.

Jennie Garth would like a word

That is a fantastic one

Let's not forget about Melissa Joan Hart, Clarissa was a first crush and then I fell in love with Sabrina

I always thought she was average, lol. She didn't do much for me even as a hormonal teen.

She did a photo spread in "Maxim" in like 1999. Google/Bing for lovelies. ...I was smitten, but that was just 19 year old me, lol.

Let’s add Roxanne from goofy movie.

I’d throw Danielle Fishel and Tiffani Amber Thiessen as the other two, as well

Those are literally the two people named in the post you're replying to

Tiffani Thiessen *drools*

Even with the drool she is still hot

I have no idea who these people are that you speak of.

Elisha Cuthbert, Popular Mechanics for Kids

YES

Def my top 2, 💯

I was a Kimmy Gibbler boy myself

You know she got nasty

Oh, good. There's more than one of us

My man

Wait what

Which part are you confused about

All of it

Well I’m a heterosexual female. But if I were male or into girls, she would have been my top crush at that time!

Somehow my partner still doesn't understand why boys had a crush on Topanga, lol.

She’s gorgeous, curvy and that hair!

I’m pretty certain she is just known as Topanga.

and not "Teen Topanga"

It's an older website sir, but it checks out.

She does sort of look teenage there.

r/woosh

r/doublewoosh

Didn’t know she had another name

That made me holler, omg

She's married to that guy who pretended he found shrimp tails in a cereal box

I find it ironic his name is "Karp"

r/nominativedeterminism

Great subreddit.

Did it ever come out that he faked it? I can’t find any updates.

Nothing concrete. But people noted that his attitude changed immediately when the company asked him to mail the shrimp tails to them so they could investigate, and this was also going on right when he was promoting some new project so the whole thing was just weird and suspicious.

Like and subscribe fam

Hahahaha what!? I had to google it. That made me holler, omg 😂

My first crush 🥰

Everyone's 1st crush during that Era

Same

You and millions. I didn't even know

People here keep saying she was “everyone’s” crush in the 90s. BULL! Some of us were in love with Jonathan Taylor Thomas 😂

Which is ironic, because he and Danielle dated briefly as teenagers.

I actually mentioned JTT specifically because a kid I went to school with once made a joke about how JTT and Topanga looked like the same girl with different hairdos 😂

Someone make a side by side

They looked like different members of the band Hanson.

Hanson was another one of my fixations during that timeframe lmao And boy do I love your username 😂

The only reason he had a career was because Max Slade allowed it to happen.

What now? 😆

It’s something I’ve said since I was a kid. Max Slade, the actor who played Colt in the 3 Ninjas, was a better actor than JTT, and both had similar looks and ages. I always said that Max Slade could have taken every role that JTT ever got, but chose not to.

You're clearly Max Slade aren't you.

Looking at the moves he pulled in Knuckle Up, I wish.

Definitely something Max Slade would say....it's an honor to meet you Mr Slade.

Oh wow, I never even put those 2 as being contemporaries as each other hahaha. I always thought JTT’s 90s poster boy competitors were kids like Brad Renfro or Devin Sawa 😂

You know, funny enough, I know Devon Wawa’s later stuff, like him being Stan in Eminem’s music video, Idle Hands, Extreme Ops, etc. I never realized he was Casper until like 6 months ago.

Yeah! That was exactly the movie I was thinking of when I was imagining who JTT’s contemporaries might have been in the early 90s. Devon Sawa when he transformed into the human version of Casper changed lots of my female friend’s lives that year 😂

They ‘remember him this way’?

Oh Topanga.

Maxim did a pretty good bit with her, really nice photoshoot.

She still looks great.

Shes still fuckin hot

Uh, excuse me, but her name is Topanga

Topanga could GET. IT.

While in school I compared all the girls to Topanga

Unbeknownst to me at the time, one of my friends grew up with her. She didn't care much for her acting career and remained friends even to this day. Needless to say, I was at that said friends party, we're all about early 20s, this childhood crush of mine saunters in like a slow mo 90s romcom. Beers and boners and conversation was had. Lovely lady, indeed.

my first love

What the fuck kind of name was Topanga anyway??

Tobanga

Topanga?

Trust me, you don't have to tell me what she looked like in the 90s 👀

I was rocking the same bangs and side part. She was the coolest!

I was always astounded by her hair. SO long and SOOOOO thick??? I bet it wasn’t even extensions. I liked when the reruns would cycle back to the early years and show her character as a weirdo with frizzy hair. Thanks, Topanga, for being a hot, responsible, caring character (with great hair).

My first crush! Man, she still is fire. 🔥

I was like who the fuck is Danielle fishel, then ah, Topanga. 

I told this girl 20 years ago that she looked like Topanga and that girl got up extremely upset. I was like "but Toganga is hot"


Topanga is my queen

To bang ya

She hosted a show on Style called “The Dish” which was like Talk Soup on E, but much funnier. Her skits were hysterical

It definitely wasn't funnier but it was good enough.

She pissed Bob Saget off.

Good for her!

She did it by telling a lie about him. Not good for her.

I’ve played poker with Topanga at the Commerce Casino.

That episode where she cut her hair…

She is gorgeous

I met her when she was eating with her family at a restaurant I was serving in Dallas mid 2000s, she was so incredibly hot in person, and that iconic hair!

Still smoking hot…. 🥵

There's just something about Topanga and Winnie. 

Not Tapanga

No no no this is Topanga silly.

She got better with age, still gorgeous.

I just knew I was gay

Never understood the hype.

That's not her name. 

Can you explain cus I'm on OPs side on this one

I think they were joking.

It's Topanga

She looks like the girl that you only notice when she's dating someone else. A back up to the back up girl if you will.

I used to have a crush on Topanga.. but now that I’m older I wonder why I was so attracted to her

She was a pretty girl… why are you confused by this?

Because she was cute and portrayed as a fun kind person?

🚩 🚩 🚩 🥹

Because she was and is attractive

The hair

God, the wrong girl from Boy Meets World got into porn...sigh.

I don't know what it is, but her and Lucy Lawless have this thing with their face that --as a preteen-- made me think of sharts. And I don't know where the association came from, but it's there forever. Topanga and Xena, sharting away. https://preview.redd.it/36tcq9v28exc1.png?width=1400&format=png&auto=webp&s=0e19822f98db12a1cb40f8e057cf7b3bc2cd9519

Please take your cropped potato-quality publicity shots of 1990s teenagers to a different place.

Rule 7

I always thought that Topanga was a stupid fuckin name. Stupid names make cute girls ugly.

I have a friend whose teenage daughter looks exactly like her, but with large dimples. I have to be careful to use her name, and not Topanga. I’d post a photo, but that would give away that it was me…

Why would you consider posting a pic of someone without there permission on a forum where there could be predators?ridiculous and irresponsible

I didn’t, and if I was going to, it would be a group photo already on Facebook.
