Im not sure I saw a single episode of this show. But the iconic theme is etched in my mind. It was time for bed in my youth lol. This show happened at key points in my life. Henry Mancini was such a talent. We need music like that again.

This is back when Hollywood respected actors and gave them the recognition they deserved. Now tv shows just run guest actors along the bottom of the screen while the show is starting or just run them at the end quickly when nobody is paying attention.
Mackenzie Astin (Brother of Sean Astin The Lord of Rings), Scott Grimes (Archie Morris from Emergency Room), Alec Baldwin, Dorian Harewood (Terminator Sarah Connor´s Chronicles). incredible names!
Just shows how hard it was to break thru from TV Stardom to Films. For every James Garner and Bruce Willis, there were dozens of Bradford Dillmans and David Hedisons. I guess this was the season where Elizabeth Taylor and longtime buddy Roddy McDowell made their appearences.
A lot of these guests were well known at the time. A lot of them made appearances constantly across most TV ( daytime, night time, Cop shows, game shows, sci-fi, movies, most were very busy ).
I just saw patty, duke or someone in the series because I remember the introduction from many years ago when I was in a child because at night time around 9:00 PM, my mother would put us in bed so we can go to school tomorrow and before I even close my eyes, I can hear the hotel introduction from upstairs in the second-floor bedroom, even though I haven’t watched the series but I know it’s all adult stuff because I was doing a kid when he played this television series do the 80s.

OK, so what happened to the full episodes that have been on UA-cam? I was able to watch nearly all of seasons one and two… Then they all disappeared! Does anybody know what gives?
@Joseph Schauster Based on the best-selling book of the same name by Arthur Haley. Made in the early- to mid-1980s, it was designed as a series for Bette Davis as the manager of the (fictional) St Gregory Hotel in San Francisco. Davis played Laura Trent until she was laid low through bad health, replaced by Anne Baxter as her cousin (!) Victoria Cabot. Then Anne Baxter died in 1985 and I think the show was shelved. It was all divinely cheesy and very glitz and glamour in the vein of Dynasty.
@@andrewthornhill7042 you are partially right, however the format of "Arthur Haley's Hotel" was more along the lines of Aaron Spelling's other popular ABC network TV show, "The Love Boat", in which you would have several mini-stories intertwined together in each episode. The biggest difference was that unlike the light-hearted scripts of "The Love Boat", "Hotel" delved into more serious subject matter, some of them controversial by 1980s standards such as HIV/AIDS, thus that show came on during the 10 PM (Eastern Time) hour (whereas "The Love Boat" was more of a 8 or 9 PM show). People even called "Hotel" "The Love Boat without the laugh track."
@@rwboa22 Yes, I know that 'Hotel' followed the 'Love Boat' formula, as did 'Fantasy Island', but the idea came from the Haley novel and later the 1967 movie.
Basically, the Love Boat was Hotel located at sea. Hotel was the Love Boat right in the city. One moved and the other one didn't. These two shows were interchangeable and I was never really crazy about one. I bet you the worst jobs on these two shows had to a part of the many writers for each of the different shows they had on these two shows. Every week having to come up with different stories or storylines for all the different plots and characters on these shows. Also having to think up and write dialogue for the main cast and many different guest stars who appeared on the shows would have driven me completely crazy or right up the wall. Almost impossible to do well on a regular basis.
@@michaelverbakel7632 the TV series Fantacy Island and even Night Gallery all had the same celebrities during the series. Interesting in all. Wonder if there was some connection to it.

Of this I am certain: Michael Spound is a very, very, very, VERY lucky man. (If you don't get it...he ended up marrying Heidi Bohay, who is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.)
Yes, he was in ten Broadway shows, including the original casts of Cabaret and Fiddler on The Roof. Great singing voice. ua-cam.com/video/JNl34ryP6v4/v-deo.html By the 1980s it was mostly game show hosting and guesting on Love Boat/Fantasy Island/Hotel.
@@mpshields He attended the UCLA School of Film Theater and Television. I'm sure there were dance classes, but I think his main talents were acting and singing. Everybody has to do at least some choreography in a musical.

Oddly enough, you too are likely of the same mindset as the guys who told me "lighten up, it's just a joke" when they would take off with my prosthetic leg when I was changing after gym class.
@@LogoMan7777 TL;DR: everything is "just a joke" and "everyone is a snowflake" until it's directed at them. Bragging about walking in on naked teenagers with impunity is "just words, just locker room talk." (To speak of "mere words" is much like speaking of "mere dynamite" - C.J. Ducasse.) John McCain is "not a hero" was "just sharing an unpopular opinion" and oh, by the way, let's drag out that long-debunked "songbird" story to validate it. "Blood coming out her whatever" was an appropriate response to ostensibly tough questions by Megyn Kelly, as if POTUS candidates shouldn't be able to answer tough questions. All those are perfectly acceptable rhetoric. Alec Baldwin makes a few jokes about him, though, and we're looking into having Alec Baldwin audited and SNL pulled off the air. No, seriously, he did. Sources available upon request. Much like literally running away with my ability to walk was "just a joke" but boy howdy, someone looked cross-eyed at them and it was time to throw down.

This was when television shows were great. I remember this from my childhood.
How excellent is this? What a theme tune! ❤
...I remember this theme blaring loudly from the Quasar TV set in our downstairs, wood paneled, wall to wall plush carpeted den back in the 80s.
👍🏽💯😆

Dear god. It looks like the Love Boat ran aground in San Francisco Bay and disgorged its guest cast into this Hotel.
Yes they even threw the captain off the ship and into a luxury suite
😂😂😂
Some very big stars ✨, and Elizabeth Taylor looked magnificent 👍😊
One of my favorite themes of all time.
That Robert Hooks smile!
Henry Mancini's music is gorgeous.
I don't remember much about the show, but that theme song got to me. I bought the sheet music.
4:03 - They spared no expense!
Mackenzie Astin (Brother of Sean Astin The Lord of Rings), Scott Grimes (Archie Morris from Emergency Room), Alec Baldwin, Dorian Harewood (Terminator Sarah Connor´s Chronicles). incredible names!
Anne Baxter was the granddaughter of the architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.

Same for daytime actors making an attemt at prime time before sliding back to the soaps.
A lot of these guests were well known at the time. A lot of them made appearances constantly across most TV ( daytime, night time, Cop shows, game shows, sci-fi, movies, most were very busy ).
It's like The Love Boat but in a skyscraper and even has your Your Captain paying a visit
This is incredible!!!!
