The Love Boat/Trivia

""The loooove boat... will not be taking another run...""
 * As Himself: In addition to playing six other named characters in various episodes over the years, Judy Landers also played herself in the 1987 episode "Who Killed Maxwell Thorn?"
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Countless guest stars you'd recognize from other shows.
 * What is Murray Slaughter doing piloting a cruise ship? And why is Siegfried the ship's doctor?
 * The Other Darrin: The first pilot movie had an entirely different cast playing the ship's crew.
 * Prop Recycling... literally. The ship that served as the setting for the Love Boat was scrapped around March of 2012. So....


 * Stunt Casting: Virtually every guest star, including Billy Barty and Patty Maloney as a dwarf couple accompanied by their normal-height son.
 * One episode was a treat for fans of The Dick Van Dyke Show as Richard Deacon plays a psychiatrist on vacation, with Rose Marie, Morey Amseterdam, and Jerry Van Dyke as three of his patients who come along as a surprise.
 * You Look Familiar: The Love Boat (along with Fantasy Island) was You Look Familiar: The Series; numerous performers -- like Charo, Florence Henderson, Connie Stevens, Judy Landers and many many more -- routinely made multiple appearances as two or more characters throughout its history.
