Which Girl From Just the Ten of Us Would You Sleep With?
Over the course of ones life you wrestle with questions that you just don’t have answers to. Growing up there were some questions that I could never figure out with the biggest one being… What girl From ‘Just the Ten of Us’ would I choose?
If you don’t remember ‘Just the Ten of Us’ it was a spin off of the show ‘Growing Pains’:
In the pilot episode (which aired on Growing Pains in the spring of 1988), Coach Graham Lubbock’s contract is terminated, prompting Mike to lead a protest after he learns that he is trying to support a large family (including a baby that his wife, Elizabeth, just had). Word spreads, and Graham is offered a job at St. Augustine’s Academy, an all-boys private Catholic school in Eureka, California; Graham promptly moves his family to California.
Six of Graham’s children were girls, four of them teen-agers.
His daughters attended the all boys school and that is where the hilarity ensued.
Here are the Lubek daughters, I am sure this was from like Teen Beat or Tiger Beat or whatever:
Whatever happened to those cheesy ass leather ankle boots?
So it is time for me to rank the Lubek girls and give you a list of who I would choose and why.
Here is my official breakdown of the Lubek girls:
Marie played by Heather Langenkamp
Marie was the ultra religious one and wore glasses on most of the episodes, which is a strike against her… the religion thing not the glasses. She was also the oldest daughter, which when you combine with the whole piety angle makes it almost impossible to get into her pants. And don’t throw the whole Nightmare on Elm Street thing at me, we are comparing the Lubek girls and not their entire body of work.
Out of the four I would have to rank her last.
Cindy played by Jamie Luner
Cindy was a twin on the show, one of the twins was the slutty one and one was the schemer, I can’t remember who was who. I still can’t figure out how the blond and her were supposed to be twins, it is just as probable as Ben Seaver and Mike Seaver really being brothers. Did you see Ben go through puberty? It was the most awkward puberty phase ever captured on television.
Anyways I think the redheaded Lubek girl ranks number two on my list, just for the obvious fire crotch references I can make. (God I need to put a ban on fire crotch jokes around here.)
Wendy played by Brooke Theiss
This was the second twin so she is the flip side of the slut and the schemer. I think this is a good time to give you my opinion of scheming girls, I find it oddly attractive. Is there anything better than a girl with ulterior motives that use people up to get what they want, leaving a path of destruction behind them that goes unrivaled? I think not.
I think Wendy was the slut so I am going to place her third behind the schemer.
Connie played by JoAnn Willette
Connie aka Constance was the youngest of the four that we are comparing. I have heard people call her a tomboy or even a bohemian but for some reason she is my favorite. Maybe it was the spunky attitude, the smart mouth, or the way she crimped her hair. Speaking of crimping, what the hell happened to crimpers? Did that whole phase go out and totally destroy Con-Air? Will crimping ever come back in style? Is there a warehouse full of crimpers somewhere with that company holding out for that style to come back in?
John: We are losing money Jim. How come we are paying ten grand in warehouse costs?
Jim: Crimpers, John… Someday… Someday.
Which is your favorite Lubek girl?
And for you ladies out there: Skippy from Family Ties or Boner from Growing Pains?

first
The redhead was the slut.
quite scarily, the leather ankle boots are back in. i saw a suede pair at macy’s when i was shoe-shopping and i actually screamed. this lady asked what was wrong and i was like, “next to uggs and the scary matching purses, those things are the scariest shoe ever.” as for crimpers, i occasionally see the random girl with a crimped section of hair and it gives me the shivers.
Hell can’t I do them all? Kinda like the Lubek girl buffet.
I loved that show but my Mom wouldn’t let me watch it because of the “loose” girls. Duh, I’m trying to learn a thing or two here mom, geesh.
I remember this show and the redhead was the slutty one. I totally do her first.
My choice is definitely Heather LangenKamp, I’d bring the devil out in her. She seems sweet even off screen but I bet she’s a real freak in bed.
Factoid: Jamie Luner was the only of the four that was NOT in A Nightmare on Elm Street movie.
Those cheesy leather ankle boots are back in style. I just bought a pair yesterday. I am NOT going back to the 80’s hair.
Boner or Skippy? Are those my only two choices? Am I on a desert island and they’re the last guys on earth?
I’m going with Boner for the name alone. Shows promise.
Thankgoodness I was not into TV during the 80’s.
How long did this show last? I watched Growing Pains, but I never saw Just the Ten of Us.
I do not remember that show. I probably blanked it out for a reason. I just don’t remember what that reason was.
ah ha … Do I have to pick?
I think they are all a little too mature, aren’t they?
This is the SECOND time that I came back to this…I read it when you first posted (and might of been even first to comment) but never had seen the show in question…I got nothin’ (but decided to comment anyway just to let you know that I was here!).
I’ve gotta go with the oldest one. Why? Because she was related to sluts, all bottled up for years of religious zeal, but genetics are tough to ruin, so she in essence was a closet whore.
Nothing beats a closet whore. Just like the Ace of Spades…
I like how you don’t discriminate just because the one chick wore glasses.
Also, some choices just can’t be made.
Are you holding a gun to my head? If so, I’ll choose Boner because as I recall he at least had some personality as opposed to Skippy (from what I recall).
JoAnn Willette all the way. She has that librarian look to her. I would think that she could slob a knob with the best of them.
Although, I think that I only watched this show once or twice.
Neither.. I’d take Doogie’s friend whats-his-face.. I like Eyetalian boys
Neither… and I don’t think I remember this show, I think I’m confusing it with “8 Is Enough” but that was longer ago, wasn’t it?
Yes, I’m too lazy to look it up on imdb. Work does that to you sometimes….
I’ll go with Connie too.
Marie and Cindy were my favorites. And honestly, I don’t know how more girls didn’t come out of the closet in the 80’s/early 90’s – so many of the TV starlets were hotties or turned into hotties. The male supporting actors were lame: Skippy and Boner?! Are you fucking for real?!
Dude. At the concert the other night there was a gal right in front of us that had crimped hair. I envied her for a bit… I used to have a purple crimping iron. Sigh.
I’ll just pick the slut… the rest just seem like to much work…
I liked Wendy… but I would do Cindy too.
i LOVED that show!! that poor brother… well i think one of the babies was a boy too but still. the oldest was the prettiest, if she’d fix herself up instead of being so boring and ultra religious. i think i liked wendy the best tho. the blonde one. when she wasnt trying to impress boys she was actually pretty smart and could be cute. i miss that show. it was on tgif i think.
For my money, I prefer to sleep with the guy with two penes. Got contact info?
I loved this show when I was in high school. They were hot. My choices seemed to change often. But here’s the breakdown for ME….
1) Cindy (the redhead: is smoking hot when she’s not being all ditzy. She wasn’t the slut or the schemer btw…those both were Wendy the blonde.)
2) Marie (the religious girl in glasses: call me crazy but I LOVE a challenge and she was certainly a challenge. Besides…pretend to take out the Nightmare on Elm Street hotness all you want but…I can’t!)
3) Wendy (yes, the schemer slut: I never was much one who enjoyed super easy girls in high school (shock I know) but I actually enjoyed the challenge. But, Wendy was cute and makeout worthy)
4) Connie (the brain/feminist type: she was just a bit too young for me to really like much. This show came on about the time I was a junior or so in high school and Connie seemed young for some reason…even as she grew older…she just didn’t really ‘do it’ for me, even though she was much cuter.)
My favorite was Cindy because she put her foot down with Derek when he tried to make a move on her and she told him “no not on a 1st date.”
Dammit… that just ruined EVERYTHING
Get out… you should have burned that place to the ground.
Actually none of them have acted in awhile, I wonder if you can make that happen.
A lot of good that did her.
I think it was on for three seasons
It was on USA for awhile too
Yeah that is all that is on your plate.
At this point… probably
