Something for 'everyone' not just guys.

Honey West's sex appeal did indeed sell the show for guys as well as my Dad, however, I remember thinking, here's the first strong and sexy female character who can kick butt too--cool. Makes a woman proud, even though I was 9 yrs old, the impression stuck. I never was attracted to Sam Bolt and his brotherly attentions to Honey was also confusing. I could tell he was attracted to her but their relationship always left me cold. Of course, Honey didn't make any real attempts either. There was no sexual tension. If a 9 yr old can notice that, something's wrong. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the show anyway and I thought the ocelot was cool as well.
