Dudes were HOT yet unremarkable-looking back in the late 70s/early 80s

Bert Convey was a handsome in the 70s, despite the hideous perm. He was a hot young man when he started out in the 50s, and he would've been a great-looking elder today. The right bone structure.

Game show/sitcom staple Dick Gautier.

I had such a gayling crush on Mark Shera on "Barnaby Jones." It wasn't even clear that it was a sexual feeling at the time.

Sigh.

Wojo.

The definition of AWG.

R1 = Gloria Petrillo.

Who is Peter Tomarken? And why is he included on a list of good-looking men?

So this is basically a game shows of the 70s and 80s thread?

Also what does “hot yet unremarkable” mean?

Bert Convy was cute pre-perm.

Tomar Ken hosted Press a Your Luck, famous for “Big Bucks, No Whammies!” and the controversial game show scandal of the eighties where a contestant figured out the board’s pattern and stayed on for a couple of days just winning everything. It was all perfectly legal and he had to be awarded it all.

Pete and the other two contestants just sat there watching it all unfold.

Pete and Burt Convy died young, so they stayed handsome forever. Unlike, say, the guy from Love Connection.

Bert's perm was groovy.

Sling TV, sounds more like a kink porn channel than game shows, who came up with that?

S.W.A.T. only lasted 2 seasons, but it included Mark Shera, a young Robert Urich, and daddy Steve Forrest (from MOMMIE DEAREST).

Hello. Paul Michael Glaser. And welcome to this thread.

What exactly does 'hot yet unremarkable' even mean? Wouldn't 'unremarkable' mean average? Or wouldn't hot mean that they WERE remarkable?

Paul Michael Glaser was hot as fuck and had a fucking hot ass.

R7, I too always thought Mark Shera was beautiful and actually a very good young actor in his day. (He was a great addition to “Barnaby Jones.) Never heard a word about his personal life, so always wondered if he’s gay, straight or somewhere in between.

Mark has aged well.

He's a cutie, but I don't know how recent that photo is, R21.

R21 that photo is from 2014 but yeh still good looking at that age!

Buzzer is on Sling TV which is great. It’s too bad there are so many dumb asses on here.

Yeah, it’s BUZZR I was watching.

It’s funny because the channel doesn’t have enough advertisers and often sits on a “BUZZR WILL BE BACK!” screen during commercial breaks. I remember MSNBC was like that when I first got Sling.

“Hot yet unremarkable”... they’re sexy guys but not today’s ideal.

Robert Conrad could still get it in the 70s.

Earl Holliman (rumored to be gay).

Roger Mosley - T.C. - from Magnum P.I. - looked like a guy you could see anywhere, but he was hot as fuck

John Saxon (center) was a staple of made-for-TV movies, miniseries, and "Fantasy Island" guest spots.

Hot for days, utterly unremarkable looking.

John Saxon oozed testosterone, that’s why he was hot.

Ditto Tony Lo Bianco.

Saxon definitely has an ingrained swarthy hotness. Great choice.

Chris George - squinty, toothy greasy Greek and pure sex on a spit.

Tony Lo Bianco was a spitter. I saw him on stage on Broadway in A View from the Bridge and I was sitting in the front row. When he got angry in one scene he sprayed us all .

More Roger Mosley. I would have liked to see this play out as if they were at a bathhouse.

R21 pic has vampire fangs.

Eat your heart out, girls.

R28 - I liked the other guy on Magnum. No, not Tom.

I’d fuck Chuck.

I know who you're talking about R38 - Rick (Larry Manetti).

R39 He looks so much like Rick Perry in that picture. Rick is a hotty even though I'm ashamed for feeling that way.

There's absolutely no reason to be ashamed. You like what you like. Plus, he's cute.

R42 I know, but his views are so darn repellent and he has the IQ of a sea slug. I'm sure his looks played a part in getting him so far, it sure wasn't his brain.

I used to think Ben Murphy of "Alias Smith & Jones" was hot back in the day.

James MacArthur of Hawaii Five-O.

The only thing that was good about a 70's poly/cotton blend pant was the way it hugged guys asses.

Earl Holliman is gay.

[quote]I used to think Ben Murphy of "Alias Smith & Jones" was hot back in the day.

Ben Murphy in various states of undress:

Christopher Connelly (here in the unsuccessful TV version of PAPER MOON with guess-who). I think his career consisted of a lot of roles Ryan O'Neal rejected.

Hot dude, though.

Asher Brauner

r39 He's all yours, gurl!

This thread is full of dead adjacents.

R45 Shut your mouth, Helen Hayes’ little boy was a god among men.

R50 I don’t think Chuck Woolery looks anything like that cunt, Perry. I wouldn’t touch that old fart with someone else’s dingus.

r48 Connelly played O'Neal's younger brother on "Peyton Place."

r33 Chris George was nude in Playgirl.

Thanks, R54. I thought they might have crossed paths at least once. Connelly never had O'Neal's matinee prettiness, but there is a resemblance.

Just saw that he died at 47 of lung cancer. Sad.

Great choice, R49. Always thought Asher was hot. Gay?

R14 That is the dad from the Brady Bunch.

Ron Ely made me so hot on this show. I swear he sported VPL on the set

Ron as Tarzan.
