Love, exciting and new: 5 questions to test your 'Love Boat' I.Q.
Please do not adjust your computer monitor. Yes, that's really just a photo of the original cast of The Love Boat circa whatever year most of us turned 10 or 11 years old.
I was a huge fan of the TV show, as was much of America in the late '70s and early '80s. With Fantasy Island airing afterward, that made Saturday night on ABC the original must-see TV night in broadcast history.
I still pretty much think "Julie McCoy" would be the perfect woman -- if she was just a little more dirty. These days, actress Lauren Tewes is 54 years old and still acting in regional theater out in Seattle. Twas not meant to be for us, I guess.
Okay, enough trivia from me. It's your turn. How well do you know The Love Boat? Here's a quickie test to find out.
1. What singer performed the vocals for the theme song to The Love Boat from 1977 to 1985?
2. What famous female entertainer performed The Love Boat theme song from 1985 to 1986?
3. Horror star Vincent Price once guest-starred on The Love Boat. What was the occupation of the character he played?
4. In one episode, ship doctor Adam Bricker gets sick. Another passenger, who is also a physician, nurses him back to health, and Bricker ends up falling in love with her. Which actress was this?
5. On the show, Captain Stubing eventually got married. Who played his bride?
