Charles Grodin, 86.

I pretty much only know him as the dad from Beethoven.

Quote: Evenbob

Funny guy, his heyday was in the 70s and 80s. By 1995 he was 60 years old already. He had a talk show on TV or radio but I never heard it.

Saw the talk show listed, never watched, they are not my thing.

He made "Midnight Run" though. Just how he annoyed DiNero was masterful.

He was huge back when I was growing up

Gavin MacLeod, ‘Love Boat’ captain.

Now we cannot ask him why a purser warranted an officer status.

Never saw the show, only trailers for it. I had a very low barf factor in those days. Remember him from Mary Tyler Moore.

Love Boat, Love American Style were pretty much the same idea. I'd probably throw Fantasy Island in there too. "The plane! The plane!"

They all had a formula. 4 guest stars. Usually 2 were old Hollywood Royalty and 2 were new stars they wanted to give push. 2 arcs for those 4 and 1 arc for the show regular stars.

Simple but it worked in dem days.

In the old days Pursers were in charge of all money handling and were considered officers.

It was TV at its worst. Ridiculous melodrama starring the same people over and over. Writing for the shows you would have to be drunk half the time just tonumb the sheer boredom of it. And these shows were on for years spewing they're sugar coated nonsense. My dad was in his sixties and seventies when these shows were on and he loved them. Maybe he was the target audience. Him and divorced fat women who couldn't get off the couch. I couldn't see any man younger than 50 watching this garbage. I would cringe just hearing the theme songs.

I thought it was an Aaron Spelling production, and sure enough.

Not sure, but Hart to Hart might be the only show I would watch again. But even there, I’m not sure until I watched a few episodes. Just seems like it wasn’t too bad when I saw some episodes years ago.
