A prime example of what can happen when 2 generations of TV programmers...DON'T mix. Robert Urich was a great Vegas detective, even a great Spencer-for-Hire, but he was no Love Boat captain. Latinizing the opening theme did not endear this sad reboot, either. It sank faster than the Titanic. Be glad.
this show was the television equivelant of a miscarraige. the original sucked but at least had an endearing theme. having said that Michelle Phillips is hot!
Good lord, this looks like it was shot with a low budget camcorder and edited on someone's home PC. At the intro to the original series (the 70s intro) looked like a competent person put it together.
Phil Morris plays "The Martian Manhunter/John Jones" on "Smallville". Another Superman connection, is on the orginal series. In the final season, Teri Hatcher ("Desperate Housewives") plays one of "The Mermaids". She played Lois Lane, on "Lois & Clark".
@CF1975: This show was no less more painful than the original. At least it died a quick death, unlike the original, which would torture us for four more seasons.
@Neville6000 :I have to admit that I love the original, because it was so unbelievably cheesy, especially the always wrongly timed laughter tape: probably a childhood memory thing...
maxwell caulfield is on british soap "Emmerdale" at the moment. They really butchered the theme tune. The song arrangement just doesnt suit the latin carribean feel..bizarre.
man i remember watching this in the afternoons and it was endearing as ya like :D good fun :) if u like this 90s tv check out THUNDER IN PARADISE with hulk hogan gret stuff :) baywatch overshadows a helluva load of goods from that decade
Robert U. was a guest star on the original Love Boat series. Then later as captain, the entire cast/crew of the original Love Boat was a guest stars on "Love Boat: The Next Wave.
Other guest stars included Kadeem Hardison, then-WCW wrestlers Goldberg and Kevin Nash and...I kid you not...ALF. Yes, *ALF* was a guest star. He was the doll of some little girl who only came alive when they were alone. Sigh.
This was the best show...I never missed it. I know you guys might not like remakes but I really enjoyed the show. The characters and stories were really cool...and Kyle Howard rocked!
That looks TERRIBLE!!! Some shows should not be re-made, especially when they only emphasize how dreadfully dull and the late nineties were in terms of pop culture.
Personally, I like the music and song in the opening for some reason, even though it is nothing exceptional. I think it is easier for us to criticize TV shows and movies these days because there are so many to choose from!
Oh UPN, with your horrible shows with a budget of $310 per season. I just love all these years later how that network managed to survived on the worst programs known to the English-speaking world.
Well, actually the Orignial cast memembers (expect for Fred Grandy)did appear in an episode of this version it was called "Reunion" where they returned for Vicki's wedding. And for reasons unknown, they had Doc & Julie confess their love for each other. I didn't tune in to this version either, just wasn't the same -- especially on a low buget network.
That's because except for Fred Grandy, none of the other original cast had a career and if they appeared on this show, they were desperate for any gig.
A lot of people have been saying that. Mario is just a happy person...literally happy, not gay. LOL. He's a sweet guy...literally. An overall, roundabout nice person. That is all! LOL.
Never really watched this but the theme sucks big time compared to the original theme. Just looking at this their is no comparison to the original love boat.
Robert Urich died a couple of years after the show. It wasn't cancelled because of his cancer. He wasn't essential. They could have gotten a new captain. It was cancelled because the show was awful and got terrible ratings.
Due to odd reasons when UPN was not in St.Louis. Then Larry Rice a envaglist in St.LOuis that has a netwrok in St.Louis desided to get UPN but, he refused to air all the shows like Buffy or Love Boat, cause its not a family show. So UPN was not in St.Louis until the Robert Brothers that own WURP(I belive that is right)brung UPN back to St.Louis and this time they showed all the shows, but too late for The Love Boat I never go to see it due someone in St.Louis being dumb.
It's great to see the ship where I worked. I have pictures taken in all tha places shown on this video, you can't imagine how many memories come to my mind!!!
