I don't think Oceania cares....she's been seen with muscle man MSC lately. Okay, she's trading down but he is quite the jock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be upfront, I'd probably never cruise Princess anyway. But, that sealed the deal for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted October 7, 2022 #32 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) It was cool to see Ted Lange on the show. Better known as Isaac Washington from the old show. He is 74 years old now. Everyone forgets this spin off................Love Boat .... The Next Wave in 1999 Edited October 7, 2022 by Jimbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's exactly why I watched it, and that's exactly what I thought of it. 51 minutes ago, Jimbo said: It was cool to see Ted Lange on the show. Better known as Isaac Washington from the old show. He is 74 years old now. Yes, seeing him bring out drinks was the highlight of the show for me. I jumped right up from the sofa and said ISAAC! I hadn't thought about him in ... maybe fourty years? But his name came to me immediately. Except for a head full of white hair, he looks the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Princess thinks this is good publicity targeting the younger generation touting "love" on the high seas, they are high on something -- the average cruiser's age on Princess has to be around 85. The Love and Marriage show is one of my favorites!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone that watches most of my TV shows via DVR and fast forwards through commercials, i only quickly go back to catch when it shows and relied mostly on the name to spur interest, and find the premiere date. Like most who commented here I was sorely disappointed to find another Very Bad example of Reality TV. Glad to see it had dismal ratings. Now a good remake of the original sitcom I would have been up for, as it is that recording got less than 10 minutes before we hit "Series Delete" I mostly watch old shows..or the stuff on Streaming...The big three have made nothing but crap in the last 10 years...I think the last decent Police show was NYPD blue...and don't get me started on NCIS😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sailed Princess extensively. The demographic is a bit older than Royal but not by much. However they are more sedate and I would guess well to do than the average Royal passenger. I think you mean Holland America or Viking River Cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crewsweeper Posted October 7, 2022 #43 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Gave this show 5 minutes! Wasted 5 minutes! Captain isn't a real cruise ship captain (played on Real Love Boat Australia). Bartender imitating Isaac is just a past cruise ship entertainer (but Isaac was just an actor). But that really is Matt! And it did cause Amazing Race ratings to suffer. Give it a one season run.

I saw some of that show too, for the same reason. The Real Love Boat is the Titanic of TV shows. It may have managed to limp out of its first port last week but I foresee many icebergs coming up soon on their first voyage this season. Better be on the lookout Captain! 😁 Edited October 7, 2022 by DirtyDawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Hog Posted October 7, 2022 #46 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Sounds like something I want to watch on fast forward. The only reason people watched the original was to see glimpses of actors that they liked who had washed out of other shows. It was a formula that also worked for Fantasy island. Otherwise, the story lines were cheesy... My favorite was seeing Jean Stapleton not as Edith, and the episode where Florence Henderson and Robert Reed run into each other at the buffet but don't say a word. It's going to be a short list of actors left to make guest appearances from the original series. They've already used up two of the four who are still alive and able to travel. I don't think Bernie is going anywhere at his age, which leaves Grandy and Tewes. I don't count Ted McGinley and whoever the replacement McCoy was.

I watched the Original Loveboat because I was 10-12 years old and watching TV on Friday nights was all we had to do. I loved that show, and if the story lines were cheesy, I was too young to recognize it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are lying, the Captain is a real Princess Captain, the cruise director is a real Princess cruise cruise director, and the bartender is a real Princess bartender. But, why worry about the facts, it gets your number of posts up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
