the scene where he was crying against the door was real. alot of the cast and crew said he was so sad on the set, it was heartbreaking, RIP bob i hope you found peace.
Bob Crane was a very gifted radio personality, musician and actor. His addiction to porn in the 1970's was lethal to his career and personal life. Fast forward 20 years and we see that 25% of all internet sites are porn sites and are easily accessible. To those addicted to porn, seek help fast ..it is an addiction that is destructive to relationships and the soul.
that stupid DNA analysis stunt on the Phoenix TV station a few years ago that supposedly proved that Carpenter wasn't Bob Craine's murderer was BULLS@^T. Analyzed partially degraded and improperly stored blood didn't prove a thing. Will ALWAYS believe Carpenter did it.
Uncanny? Or the script writers making a point? Apparently he was none too bashful about sharing his lifestyle, which was why Disney canned him from what would have been stellar, post Hogan, career. He used to take photo albums onto the set and show naked ladies to his fellow cast and crew. So everyone knew about his, “sex addiction,” issues. The Love Boat was actually a scheme, created by its producer, to find work for actors who’s careers were fading for whatever reason. It’s a veritable Who’s Who of people who used to be famous. The downside of that was that the show became known as, “The Life Raft,” in the show biz world. So, appearing on it had the opposite effect of reviving careers and became a way of identifying actors who were on hard times, desperate for work and not too picky about what they got. It was more likely to kill careers than revive them. That must have Bob Crane’s last acting appearance on TV?
Me too at the last he was really trying to turn his life around seeking therapy for his sex addiction but it was just to late... his therapist said crane was the sickest mentally decrepit person hed ever tried to work with it's so sad he didnt deserve to die that way...rip
@@ernestinemaloy2293 His kids from his first wife knew what was going on and should have tried to do an intervention earlier on. They may have saved his life and career. Unfortunately, we will never know.
Bob Crane proved in this scene that he could do drama. Too bad he was murdered as he could have had a career resurgence in the 80's. He would have been great on Hill Street Blues, St Elsewhere, or many of the Prime Time Soaps of the era.
I wonder if Richard Dawson ever felt guilty for introducing Bob to guy who most likely killed him, even though Bob requested the introduction because he was so impressed with Richard's video equipment.
I know what you meant by that. Sucks that he had to go through such thing; do you think if Bob Crane never died he would have overcome his sex addiction?
@Trzn 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I haven't laughed like this in a while ! Thank you! I've seen documentaries on him &I knew that he had a reputation in Hollywood as a total dirtbag/freak perv but it never occurred to me that they would tailor the role to him because it was the young guy(the guy from Airplane! ) who couldn't stop taking pictures but thats definitely a good theory!
@Trzn So true..he alienated himself from most people with his deviant behaviour..carrying around his homemade porn &showing it to anyone &everyone..just disgusting
I met Bob Crane in 1977 at a restaurant in Clearwater. Very nice gentleman. He was with 2 blonde women and another guy. Was this the guy he shot those videos with? I dont know.
An unknown lady in blue bikini bathing suit at the 7:39 mark, this was Bob Crane last role before he was murdered and killed, Bob Crane was awesome in this 1978 Love Boat classic, R.I.P. Bob Crane!
I remember this episode. Crane didn't age too well. He was 48 here and when he died. Hugh Hefner died at 91 and looked better than Crane did at 48. Can't believe Crane was married at 19 too. My friends and I were amazed he never contract HIV which was on the rise in 1978. Surprised he never went back to radio. Talk radio was making a comeback in 1978 or become a sessions musician--he was damn good drummer.
AIDS epidemic exploded during the 1980s. It was still small or unreported in 1978. It would've been unlikely Bob Crane caught HIV in 1978. But with no knowledge of people spreading it, Crane's was playing Russian Roulette with an added bullet in the chamber every year he kept his lifestyle up. No doubt he would've been a casualty if he stuck around.
Another Hogan’s Heroes connection here as well. The blonde who he is getting quite cozy with is Victoria Carroll, who had 6 guest appearances on the show, most notably as Lila Fenster in the episode ‘Klink vs the Gonculator,’ but she is a redhead in her appearances on Hogan’s Heroes.
NJ Pub Adjuster Correction: This January 7️⃣, 1️⃣9️⃣7️⃣8️⃣, episode of THE LOVE 😍 BOAT ⚓ aired on ABC nearly six months later before Bob Crane (HOGAN’S HEROES) was murdered in the wee hours of June 2️⃣9️⃣ of that year. He guest-starred as Edward ”Teddy” Anderson in a comedy vignette entitled ”Family 👪 Reunion.” Also in the cast were Robert Hays (ANGIE) as Sam Bradley; the late Dori Brenner (THE CHARMINGS) as his wife, Wendy Bradley; and Victoria Carroll (ALICE) as Ginger LeDoux.
This episode got to me. All my life, I wondered where my dad was. I hoped he was something fabulous that he was missing me. When I pursued him at 17 and found him.. his 1st question was *Are you looking for money?*. NO YOU IDIOT.. I NEEDED A FATHER. THE SAME FATHER THAT ABANDONED ME AND HAD A 2ND WIFE AND 3 MORE KIDS. Turns out I didnt need a father. He died 4 yrs later- karma baby
I care.I saw "SUPAERDAD" at least 50 times in (1973) AGE 7,and loved him in it I always wanted to be like BOB,and have a daughter like he had in the movie,which makes me cry when he gives his daughter WENDY away to CURT RUSSELL.
GCL777 , I've been looking for a love boat episode called Julies Dilemma...would you be able to get a hold of it and post...ive tried and tried to find it and can't ...Thanks Joe
How crazy and ironic this was Bob Crane's last acting role before he was murdered, playing the philandering bad father who walked out on his family, as his own real life spiraled out of control with his sex addiction. There are only happy endings on TV, real life doesn't work that way, he didn't even leave his first wife & children in his will. Sounds like he deserved what he got.
There were several odd things about this episode. Not only the kiss on the lips, but Crane goes in again and kisses her on the lips a second time in the same scene. Second, the actress here was in her early 30s, Crane was in his late 40s, way too young to be her father. Gavin MacLeod was a guest on Hogan's Heroes several times, so he likely got Crane this role as a favor.
He was supposed to be a good guy. Yes, unfaithful but temptation is not easy to resist. AND he liked women and loved sex but that does not mean he was a bad guy.
His addiction was women & sex. The adventure of hunting and never knowing what's next. It was not about porn that much or just about the recordings and watching them. There is several stars that have done worse things, that were covered up by guys like Ed Mannix then and remain a secret. Stuff like the killing of Ted Healy by other society people, for example. Crane was neither a pedophile nor is there indication, he ever forced or raped someone. Also it seems he did not even break many hearts, meaning he obviously did not make lied fake promises to his casual sex ladys. His addiction was only self-destructive and of course affected his family, but basically that's it. By the way ... using 1960s and 1970s cameras and trying to film secretly with them sounds quite ridiculous to me. Actually accusing Crane of doing this, is a laugh. Filming back then was not done with pocket size smartphones, you know ... plus they were making a bit noise probably. Whoever said, she didn't know she was filmed, was maybe just ignoring it or probably just lied in order to give a better impression of herself.
Yes. John Henry Carpenter, Sales Manager at Sony Electronics who Crane befriended a few years earlier. He went to trial but was found not guilty. At that time the Scottsdale Arizona Police Dept. didn't have a Homicide Dept.. A lot of evidence was mishandled and lost before the trial making the prosecutors case very weak. Even years later when DNA testing came about, the samples were so tainted that they were inconclusive. Years after the trial many believed it was Crane's common law Patricia Olson, who was the only recipient of his said will. His will was rewritten a year earlier that left all of his children without. Something to think about.
@@neilouellette3004 Wow, thanks . I did see a video with Arizona media and his son after I watched this because I haven't thought about this case in years. It appears this man may have actually been innocent. Who know? I think it is horrible his kids got nothing, maybe the common law did pay someone to do this.
@@buddy-yn9bd He was into filming his sexcapades which made a lot of enemies with him. This evidence came to lite at the trial for the defense team of John Henry Carpenter.
This is why Disney fired him [he was being groomed to take over for Dean Jones] and Scorsese didn't want to hire him. His bad reputation was getting around and in the tabloids.

Smart man. He knew not to leave the camera in the room with Bob Crane.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
like you, filming yourself tossing off. Bob had women, something you know little about

Laughed out loud for real
Gavin MacLeod once guest-starred on Hogan's Heroes, oddly enough.
Several episodes... s1e19, s3e27, s4e01, s4e23
Once? Lol..He was a very frequent guest star, and played numerous different roles
Great ending to the episode. RIP Bob Crane
he comes across as very friendly and tactile
If Bob Crane was alive today, he would be 94 yrs old.
Now 95!
I really liked Bob Crane. He was a funny man

Only 31 men, all gay, had died from AIDS in the U.S. by 1980.

I'm sure Hefner had a lot of work done
Radio? Session musician? All of those were a real step-down. Like doing "The Love Boat". He needed money though.
Where the forgotten got 10 grand to hang on the loved boat kept a lot of people from homeless
The cameras have gotten so much smaller, and the ships have gotten so much larger!

he was a pretty decent bloke according to those who knew him well. Even all his wives all spoke well of him, and kids
"Even all his wives all spoke well of him..." Then divorced him. His first family was omitted from his will (not that he had much). "Pretty decent"?
