For one full decade of 1977 to 1987, ABC could count on its comedy/drama series “The Love Boat” to bring in millions of audience members on Saturday nights. The show would have multiple story arcs (often three for a one-hour episode) with five to 10 celebrity guest stars each time. Some arcs were playing out for laughs, others for romance and the remainder could take on tough issues. The show airs daily on the Decades network and on Sunday afternoons for Me-tv. You can also stream every episode on Paramount+.
Regular cast members would either take command of some segments or be in the backseat on others. The charming actors throughout the decade were Gavin MacLeod...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for The Real Love Boat series premiere.] Love, exciting and new. The Real Love Boat premiered Wednesday, October 5 on CBS, bringing a fresh twist to the reality dating genre as it’s set on a cruise ship. Like the scripted show it’s based on, The Real Love Boat aims to bring singles together to find love. The dating show’s premiere paid tribute to ABC‘s The Love Boat in simple, recognizable ways.

Before Tom Hanks and Renee Zellweger transformed into icons Mr. Rogers and Judy Garland in their films “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” and “Judy,” the two began their awards-filled careers on the small screen.
In a conversation with Zellweger as part of Variety’s Actors on Actors series, Hanks reflected on his first big role on an episode of “The Love Boat.”
“I was on it and for some reason I was cast as an old college fraternity buddy of Gopher who comes on and hits on Julie McCoy. And then, he pretends that they’re – and they almost have a love affair, then they laugh,” he shared. “I drove through the main gates of 20th Century Fox where the set from ‘Hello, Dolly’ was still up and I went on stage 24 or 19 or something like that and I was on the freaking ‘Love Boat.’ When it aired, that night,...

The Rapid City Police Department who caused the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell discharge of Air Force Sergeant Jene Newsome after seeing her wedding certificate through a window, has decided to “tighten” policies about cooperation with military authorities. You think?
If you heard a high-pitched squeal this morning, that was snicks reading that the TV Land Awards will feature an onstage reunion of The Love Boat. Scheduled to appear to receive the Fan Favorite Award are Gavin MacLeod (Captain Stubing), former U.S. Rep.
