    My favorite cast member was Ted Lange who played Issac the bartender. I was only 10 when the show started and I had a huge crush on him! I loved how he pointed to the camera in the opening credits. I thought it was so cool! The character in the TV movie was cast with Demond Wilson. Both men played in the TV sitcom Baby, I’m Back. I believe Ted was the only cast member to direct episodes. I used to think of the show as a show for washed up has been actors and many people felt that way then. Looking back over 40 years later, I totally admire the casting and acting from the cast and the regulars. I still watch on ME TV when I get the chance. The best tv theme song ever!. Still makes me smile when I hear it!

    Lauren Tewes went from 'cute', to 'HOT', simply by allowing her hair to grow out......with that BEAUTIFUL face, that's ALL it took !!
    Here's an odd fact about this show, that I hope doesn't change any time soon......this is one of the few (the ONLY ???) shows from the 70's (and YES, I realize it also ran into the 1980's), who's ENTIRE (main) cast is still living !!
    Think about it......NOBODY of those six members have passed away from this cast!! And may that continue for a long, LONG TIME !!
    (and btw, if ANYBODY can come up with another cast of a 70's show who's cast is all still living, PLEASE include it here......so far nobody I know has been able to come up with one!)

    It was a nice manageable time for families known as B.C.
    Before Cable, before it really caught on and was affordable for everyone.
    Back then most of us watched the 4 or so network channels and a few UHF channels.
    Families usually had 1 or 2 TVs and with the small manageable selection of shows families usually watched shows together.
    That’s the way it was in our house and Love Boat and Fantasy Island were two of our favorites.
    Love Boat had a great cast, they had good writers and every week you got an interesting episode with multiple story arcs that involved all of the characters and guest stars in something interesting. One of my favorite shows and Lauren Tewes was a fun interesting character.

    I remember going to Pioneer High School in Whittier, CA in the early 1980s and Lauren Tewes was a Pioneer High graduate whom the school was very proud of (they probably didn't know about the cocaine struggles she had for a time) but she always seemed like a wonderful person and I'm glad she overcame the cocaine addiction. It's too bad the show's producers didn't seem to care enough about helping her through those times.

      I couldn't agree more. There have been times where I would mention something totally off the wall to my wife, about something I hadn't thought of or talked about in years. Next thing I know, It would show up in an internet ad, or video recommendation. Or I'd do a Google search and type one or two words, and the guesses would pop up with that thing listed first. Before I typed anything that would justify that as a guess. Something like talking about how actresses couldn't show their belly button back in the early days of TV, like on I Dream of Jeanie. I'd open Google and type "why Barbara Eden", and right away a list of possibilities would pop up and the first would say "couldn't show her belly button". Really creepy. I bring it up to my wife and she says, the TV and phones all have microphones and are recording everything we say or do.... Lol. Scary ain't it.
