The Love Boat guest stars that might have been

Andy Kaufman, Joe Strummer, Gore Vidal, Seigfried & Roy, Julian Bond, Phyllis Schaffly, Billy Graham, The Dalia Lama, Jackie Chan, Larry "Bud" Melman, George Forman and Will Sampson.

 

I can't stop laughing at these.

 

Joe McCarthy, Michael Rockefeller, Madalyn O'Hair, Arthur Lee, Emmett Kelly, Dian Fossey, and Harvey Fierstein

 

The last one brings to mind these:

• Freddy Krueger
• Ash (already mentioned but he fits here too)
• Scarface
• It
• Jason Voorhes
• ...and the Killer Clowns From Outer Space

 

I would have loved to see Dennis Hopper as his Blue Velvet character Frank Booth guest star on an episode.

"Hey neighbor! You wanna go on a cruise?"

 

Bigfoot rules! That's André the Giant, too.

 

Is it just me, or can no one else see these either?

 

I can't see them either

People need to learn: host images on Imgur

 

I need to find this meme generator. Genius! Will likely use this for the credits of the family movie I put together ever year.

 

I can’t find it myself. But I found this one ready made.

 

I've got a few would-be Love Boat guests on my mind...
From The Fugitive (1963-1967): David Janssen, Barry Morse
From Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990-2000): James Eckhouse, Carol Potter
From The Streets of San Francisco (1972-1977): Michael Douglas, Karl Malden
The Go-Gos

If any of them actually appeared on The Love Boat, let me know!

I would pay actual cold, hard cash to see a Love Boat show with Col. Sanders, Dr. Frank N. Furter, and Blacula. I assume Blacula's coffin is being transported in steerage.

Even better, how about this guy?

 

Silliest thread evar!!!

 

That would have been awesome!

 

This will always be my favorite:

 

A fun reunion for Andy Griffith show fans! What the hell, get Andy, Barney and the whole gang together for an episode!

 

This could be an incentive to cross the uncanny valley when it comes to CGI. Once that is accomplished, we could have Love Boat episodes with a guest star list like these (with each as they were at their best):

• James Arness, John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Clint Eastwood, Maureen O'Hara, and Harrison Ford (although he didn't appear on The Love Boat he did make an appearance on Love, American Style)
  
• Adam West, Julie Newmar, Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
• The Beatles and The Bangles

 

They should've had a Gilligan's Island reunion on the Love Boat! What a missed opportunity. Of course the boat would be caught in a storm and veer off course with the passengers and crew stranded on an island. Not just any island . . . Fantasy Island!
