Uncharted Desert Isle

He really should have been #1, as the first television character I was truly caught up in.  There was an episode called "The Interrogation" that inspired me to write horror and a little porn, years later, but regardless, the episode was my first taste of what a sweaty, helpless, bound man can do to hormones. The show's got some bad and awesome 70s plot, shirtless men, and some really nice rapport between the three actors that still works to this day.
