That’s what made the draw of the show so impressive. Every week watching the show with all these different stars and then the next week comes and they’re all different again, it was wonderful.
WOW! I thought I had seen just about every episode of Love Boat, but I can't recall one with Jeremy Brett?! I realize this was before Sherlock Holmes by years, and knew he was no stranger to American audiences, but he looks so much different here. Thanks for posting.

Love Boat and Fantasy Island were the only ways to get old stars to shine a little light long after their peaks. Nowadays it’s just a cavalcade of late night talk shows where only the current stars show up for a press junket to tout their new movie or book. It’s tedious and most stars abhor doing the talk show rounds. It’s good to see a show like The Masked Singer in the 2020s bring back some old blasts from the past. We need more shows like Love Boat. I’d love to see faces like Tom Selleck and Rhea Perlman and Erin Grey and Lisa Whelchel and Lara Jill Miller and Valerie Bertinelli and Jim J Bullock and Richard Kline just to show us how gracefully they’ve all aged.
Some cool celebs and that's what I loved about Love Boat. Great to see Higgins and Jack Tripper come aboard but did you all know that Tom Hanks was also a guest.
I'm watching this and all I'm thinking is this. Gone, Gone, Yup still here, Gone, Gone, Still here, Still here, Gone, Gone, Gone, Holy Crap look at Mark Harmon's Mustashe, and Where's Charo!!!!
@@dmitrifailla6408 Thanks. I did a Google search and found an online article listing every guest star. They must have missed that one. As for Shelley Long, she was in Season 1 Episode 20 (Feb 13, 1978)
Spelling wanted the series as star studded as possible harking back to the silver screen era glitz bringing back a lot of stars out retirement in order to create new fanbases out of younger viewers who generally did not watch the older films
I like how they felt the need to add "Miss America 1984" after Vanessa Williams name - of course a few months later it would all be for naught when she had the relinquish her title after Penthouse magazine published nude photos of her
The media industry, at least. She first had success as a recording artist before film and television. She subsequently married and divorced Bahamian-Canadian professional basketball player and NBA champion Ulrich Alexander "Rick" Fox, although arguably, they would have never met if then-Boston Celtics coach and president Rick Pitino understood the NBA salary cap and did not renounce his rights after they lost the draft lottery in 1997 in order to sign Travis Knight to an exorbitant contract, which resulted in his signing with the Shaq-Kobe Lakers.
The reason for including her title also involved the presence of another actor by the same name; she would add her middle initial "L." to any subsequent film and television credits.
@@jamesjwalsh They were. Dallas was on CBS, Love Boat was ABC. I guess I was just making the point that Dallas had a lot of actors that got guest spots on Love Boat, Dallas was just a cultural phenomenon.
@@jamesjwalsh Just went through it again to see if I might have been exaggerating...nope. A full TEN Dallas actors made appearances this season on Love Boat: Morgan Brittany, Mary Crosby, Jenilee Harrison, Howard Keel, Audrey Landers, Leigh McCloskey, Timothy Patrick Murphy, Donna Reed, Deborah Shelton and Alexis Smith. Just Incredible, Dallas was a machine in 1984.
Lol, actually though she did appear in most of his shows, Spelling had full intentions to make her a career actress in the long run and her bit roles on his shows was a means to set her up for an eventual regular casting when she was old enough to work a full schedule
@@robertmontague1216 Yes, but I heard when she "auditioned" for 90210, she didn't use her real name, because it seems she didn't want to get the job just because she was the boss' daughter.
I like seeing the guest stars smiling and appearing to be very happy to be there. Of course, they're actors, so possibly the smiling was just part of the job. Ms. Andress wasn't looking too thrilled to be on the show, however.
Two of the guest stars later became regulars. Patricia Klous replaced Lauren Tewes as the cruise director, and Ted McGinley became the ship's photographer.
seeing these and then comparing these people to the celebs & actors of today, and also the music acts of back then & now- just dismayed by how much decline there has been.
John Travolta for the win, Sid Caesar & Didi Conn from Grease, Kirstie Alley from the Look who's talking series of movies, Donna Pescow from Saturday Night Fever & a cameo in Staying Alive
0:07 Quimby: Here's your mission, Gadget! Gadget: Suspect Dr Claw to steal the Pacific Princess! Please board in the boat and neutralize his men! Warning: this message will self-destructed!
Correct; however, she did little if any acting after she turned 18. Rather, as an adult, her biggest claim to fame has been her career as a musician, songwriter, and record producer. She recorded two solo albums in the 1990s, releasing one of them that decade; she collaborated with the producer of those albums, Gregg Alexander, in New Radicals who were effectively a one-hit wonder with "You Get What You Give" in 1998; and she co-wrote Natasha Bedingfield's mid-2000s hit "Unwritten." New Radicals reformed and most prominently were performing recently at Joe Biden's inauguration in 2021.
I know the love boat had many guest stars come back playing different characters but I loved how Charo played April Lopez everytime she was on the show.
