The Love Boat

Um, Blog?  I was folding laundry and I accidentally stumbled upon an episode of The Love Boat. I don't think I will ever really be the same.

I know I watched this show when I was about three, but things were different then,

Alrighty then, The Boat was never meant to be seen in high definition on a huge screen.  Dear god. You can actually see the orange make up and ... oils...on all the people.  So obvs after like three minutes of watching I started googling and it was on for TEN years.  That is a lot of years, Blog.

Let's put this in perspective.  My oldest child has been alive for nine years.  The Love Boat's run is older than Helen,  I just don't know what to say about this.  I guess everyone just kept watching?  Was nothing else going on?

Every episode is an hour of course and for pretty much the whole hour they have this crazy 70s/80s bangchickabang music blasting and its hard to hear the completely ridiculous dialogue.  Of course the episode I watched had to be continued so now its been two hours of my life I will never get back but I cannot turn it off.  And of course one of the running themes is a diamond heist being chased throughout the ship.  So for instance the diamonds are in a special lamp that the sinister "passengers" know about (oh yeah when I tuned in I thought we were continuing from a to be continued episode so go figure cause I was like there seems to be many moving parts that everyone takes for granted that I am not aware of like The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are on board and Gopher wants to bed them all) and the lamp of course gets passed from Isaac to Gopher to Doc to Vicki because everyone is always passing around a lamp.

And as we discover more plausible story lines, Mrs. Howell from Gilligan's Island was on this episode, so apparently she got on the right ship this time.  Good for her.
