Honor? Was he a God or something ?

[@anakelly76512]

Glad to hear he wasn't high and mighty. But, he was a man of strong faith apparently. If he could keep his ego in check, treat people as he wanted to be treated amongst the plethora of snotty Hollyweird actors, he surely must have been a humble soul. He and his wife must have been close to the Lord. If I had to live in Hollyweird, I'd have to cling to Jesus more desperately, too. ✝ Hollyweird is as corrupt and evil as they come.

[@anakelly76512]

@@carltonthepug Honor and worship are somewhat different. Honor is to think and respect someone highly. Not bowing down and clinging to a person's every word. Worship is to listen, obey and love God and His Word. Not man's. We really don't know squat like we think we do so why put complete faith and trust in another flawed human being? You can respect humans. Not worship them. Unlike millions of brain dead fans who would listen and obey their favorite celebrity and get angry when someone else is not much of a fan. It's lunacy.

I gave up my TV...everything is so dark and evil. There are no shows that make you laugh or make you feel good. sad!

[@michaelgillispie8974]

Charo was one of my favorites. I was born in 1969 and remember some of the GREATEST TV shows ever made.

[@nellgrill3845]

Decades TV. ! Love boat 😍 is shown mon-fri afternoons! Luv it then & now!♥️🇺🇸🍴 Good blog!

[@brenthaymon280]

You can watch the Love Boat on the Pluto TV app and Fantasy Island on the Tubi app.

[@megofiachra3247]

My faves were Isaac and Gopher. They had great screen camaraderie and were all around nice guys. Isaac was cute and had such a nice smile. It was neat to hear they also wrote for and directed the show!!

[@thomasmccluskey1391]

I loved them all. Met Bernie Koppel at the TV land convention in Burbank in 2003 or 04. Got his autograph, too. Met everyone that day. Everyone.

[@rchambers1993]

Loved this show! Gaga Gabor was always my favorite guest..she was so elegant. Charo was fun to watch too! People leading a glamorous life as a child in the 70's this show was a role model on how to live joyously. All good memories! Thanks for sharing!

[@mrdeeds72]

Gopher was my favourite character. I always loved seeing Charo or the Village People.

When were the village people on the Love boat?

Hello dear and how are you doing today?

[@PaulaKWidener]

I've always had a crush on Gavin MacLeod and I always watched every episode even if it was over and over again it still would watch it if it was on now

[@josephp.3109]

He was definitely an attractive older gentleman 😋 I was sad when he passed. It was cool though just seeing him in a clip from Gomer Pyle! So many iconic shows from back then I'm still enjoying at almost 47, infact I was watching Laverne and Shirley earlier 💝

[@robertchristian9582]

The show is on Pluto TV. It has it's own channel under the "Classic TV" division.

I looked forward to viewing live boat. I had a crush in captain driving. wonderful kind show with great stars none was a B grade. they were all gr8. RIP Gavin. 💎💎💎

Gavin was one of our celebrity alumni when I was at Ithaca College. He got his stage name from one of the acting teachers there

i went on a princess cruise and they have a channel on the tv that constantly plays episodes of Love Boat. Hilarious!

[@katluann]

Desi Arnaz Jr was so adorable then and on twice I think.

[@harperstacey9604]

He was also in fantasy island, too.

[@mao2233]

I never missed The Love Boat followed by Fantasy Island, Saturday nights on ABC. Great cast and always fun guest stars. Nice to see Jill Whelan again. She is just lovely. Also great to see Ted Lange. I always wished Isaac would find love, as he was a great guy, but then who could replace him? No one. That's who. You hit the spot with this one, DoYouRemember?.

[@stephaniespc]

Love to see how great Lauren is doing 💞💞💞 and Jill all grown up ❤️❤️❤️

[@bettiblanchard873]

She was my favorite.

[@timsacco6g694]

Lauren Tewes, with out question!, she roamed in my 12 year old mind constantly!, remember the episode where that old dude first saw her and exclaimed, "I'd say it was the real McCoy"!?, yes people, she was that fine!, they, unfortunately do not make shows like this anymore, but I'm glad I lived in a time when they did!

How sweet of you to use such a flattering photo of Ms. Tewes in the thumbnail for this video. We all have a choice of how we treat one another - is that the best you can do?

@@Rebeker You've misunderstood me. I, too, think she's attractive, and happy that she has landed on her feet.. That photo on the right is not a true representation of how she looks now. So, in short, my comment is dripping with sarcasm. Sorry you didn't get it.
