The Love Boat guest stars that might have been

OK, I'll stop now...

 

I don't have the ability to post the pictures but at least I can post the names:

• Josie And The Pussycats
• Jabberjaw And The Neptunes
• The Archies
• The Brady Kids
• Alvin And The Chipmunks
• The Groovie Ghoulies
• Hero High

 

I thought a few of these didn't sound too far-fetched so I checked imdb to find that Shirley Hemphill, Nancy Kulp, Peter Parker (Nicholas Hammond) and Dick Sargent were all on the show. Robert Reed is credited to having been on six episodes plus one of the pre-series movies.

 

Sharon and Ozzy!

Dil (transvestite from The Crying Game)-wouldn't THAT have shaken things up

 

I finished this one last night.

 

The rest of the cast of The Brady Bunch.

 

Christopher Cross

 

Awesome! If you showed that at a horror convention you'd be the toast of the evening!

I started picturing Quint as the Captain of The Love Boat and realized there's comic gold there (at the very least an SNL sketch).

 

Thanks. I would love to see a show like this.

 

Waylan Flowers and Madam!

 

Some more:

• The Gunslinger (From Westworld)
• The T-101 (From Terminator)
• The T-1000 (From Terminator 2)
• Rhoda The Robot (From My Living Doll)
• Robot (From Lost In Space)
• 8-Man
• Robocop
• Data, Lore, B4 and Lal (From Star Trek - The Next Generation)
• Fembots (From The Bionic Woman/Six Million Dollar Man and Austin Powers - International Man Of Mystery)

 

This isn't a joke -- Andy actually appeared in an episode of Love Boat:

Too bad they couldn't get Lou for a guest shot...

 

Special Wrestling episode!
Mick Foley
Randy Savage
Goldberg
The NWO
Degeneration X
Ultimate Warrior
Terry Funk

 

How about the Lindburgh baby?

 

The whole cast of The Brady Bunch.

 

With a thread like this one, who needs anti-depressants?

I'm laughing my face off here.

It'd be great to have the music scored by someone different each week. Henry Mancini, Les Baxter, Korla Pandit, Martin Denny. Ferrante & Teicher, Nelson Riddle, Gerald Wilson, Lalo Schifrin, Ennio Morricone, etc... Extra cheesy please!

I'd also love a version of the opening credits where instead of Jack Jones singing, we had Howard Cosel read the lyrics over the theme music.

 

He may be the youngest guest, or at least appealing to the youngest. Talk about a show skewing to a demographic.

 

Voice over for West Side Story....doesn't everyone know this>? Picture are way too funny ...made me laugh out loud

Why stop there? Why not have a new singer each week? Imagine the following singers having performed the Love Boat Theme (people who could have performed it, including some who have departed the mortal plane):

• Tom Waits
• David Bowie
• Frank Sinatra
• Dean Martin
• Freddy Mercury
• Del Shannon
• Elvis Presley
• Johnny Cash
• Willie Nelson
• Olivia Newton-John
• John Travolta
• Barry Manilow
• Roger Miller
• Rolf Harris
• Mel Blanc (changing characters with each verse of the song)
• Tiny Tim
• Don Adams
• Jack Webb
• William Shatner
• Leonard Nimoy

 

To think of it, I'd love to see William Shatner on The Love Boat (maybe he did guest star, I don't know).

 

I checked the list of guest stars on Wikipedia and he doesn't appear. However, some interesting names:

• Elizabeth The Koala
• Tom Hanks
• Guich Koock
• Louise The Chimp
• Tiny The Kangaroo

 

Mary Grace rules!
