Which 80s TV Character Did You Secretly Want to Be?

[Pete]

Who was your ultimate 80s TV alter ego? What made them so cool to you back then?

I don’t think I had one. At least from what I can remember. If that changes I’ll be back to post it.

I always liked Elyse Keaton from Family Ties. She was calm, wise, and held the whole house together. I admired how she balanced work and family without losing her sense of humor.

 

[Linda Ann]

Mine was totally Jo from The Facts of Life. She was tough, smart she and she didn’t care what anyone thought. I could never gather enough kahounas to act like her back then but I sure wanted to. She had that edge I always admired.

Interesting choice.

Joe definitely had that I don’t give a rat’s ass attitude.

Thank you . I really liked her.

 

[Marianne S.]

For me it was Punky Brewster. I know I was a little older than her but she had this creative spirit that made everything seem fun.

MacGyver. Easy answer. Guy could defuse a bomb with a paperclip and tape.

Those are some interesting picks. I still don’t remember what 80s tv character that I wanted to be.
