1. Savion Glover in ‘Sesame Street’. Tap sensation Savion Glover played this bright-eyed, tap-happy, all-singing, all-dancing nice guy on ‘Sesame Street’, and was the highlight of my weekday afternoons.

2. ’Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’. At the tender age of five, I would lie in bed and pull the covers over my head, then wish really hard that I when I pulled them back, the ninja turtles would be standing in my room. Not entirely sure what I expected would happen if it ever worked…

3. The mud-wrestling chicks in ‘Big Top Pee Wee’. There's this montage in the movie ‘Big Top Pee Wee’ where he and his love interest kiss; shots of fireworks, volcanoes bubbling over, rockets taking off, etc. One clip is about two seconds worth of two women mud-wrestling. I used to watch it, rewind it, pause it, watch it again, repeat the cycle. I was six.

4. Gumby. Seriously, how could any woman resist a green guy made out of clay. What a cutie.

5. Rick Moranis in ‘Honey I Shrunk The Kids’. As the wacky scientist Dad who ends up shrinking and losing his kids in the backyard, he was so hopeless, so helpless, so pathetic, yet so intelligent. I just wanted to give him a big hug.
