For the longest time I was wondering why anybody wasn't showing Love Boat? Admittedly it's a ridiculously horrible show...that's beside the point. It has nostalgic and camp value, it ran for 10 seasons, and was one of Aaron Spelling's most successful shows, so you think it'd be all over TV, but it was seemingly non-existent as far as the 21st century was concerned. Well, since TV works in waves/cycles/whatevs a few years ago Love Boat was suddenly on like 4 different stations...and Good Lord that shit is terrible! For better or worse.

The '70s stuff can be fun, but the later stuff in particular is just a slog, as it became some sort of old-folks centric production, with like ancient vaudeville stars limping through 15 minute moralizations about orphans, and being nice to your grandparents. Ponderous.
