SewMuch Posted February 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2015 There are TV stations that are showing "The Love Boat" series from the 80's. On my Directv service they're on a station called POP. You would have to search for them on your own cable, satellite service. Anyway, I watch mainly to see what everyone is wearing. (The stories are really lame). Lots of blue eye shadow and big hair. The ladies on board wear long dresses every night, and the guys are all in tuxes or suits. Sometimes the tuxes are powder blue. I think at least some of the dresses could be worn today. And I actually prefer the guys' swim trunks - they are shorter and tighter than those pj bottoms guys wear now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geocruiser Posted February 16, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I still love the Love Boat series. Watching it brought me to a different world. It helped me get into cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkudzu Posted February 19, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I watch the Love Boat too but for the scenery--esp. when it's cold! I love to watch the old movies from the 40's and 50's (that have a cruise ship in them) for the fashions. For instance..."An Affair To Remember".

jawas Posted February 20, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I always loved the pantsuits and I still do! If I see them in TJ Maxx again this year, I'm getting one for my cruise in October!!:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrymanos Posted February 23, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Funny that you should post this now. I just finished watching an old Love Boat episode. The thing that I like most is seeing some of the old stars that did guest appearances. The black tuxedos look pretty much as they do now, but the men wore gigantic black bow ties then. I agree that the short stories are mostly lame, but as you stated, it's about fun. That's the whole reason that I cruise is the fun. Life doesn't always have to be serious and totally realistic. I worked at a serious job my whole career so that I could cruise and sometimes have frivolous, elegant, fun times. Next one is in April on the Queen Victoria through the Panama Canal. Can't wait. My DW doesn't watch the show with me, but then again, I generally enjoy cruising more than she does, so it makes sense. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who enjoys these old shows.

Drew's Wife Posted February 23, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 23, 2015 My tv is set up to tape these everyday. So much fun in the evenings to watch and look at the fashions from the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
