ON this date in 1977 - "The Love Boat" debuted on ABC-TV.
The theme song was sung by Jack Jones and was written by Paul Williams and Charles Fox.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple were supposed to be among the cast but when it came to light they had photos of Lauren Tewes (Julie) in some compromising positions, the ABC geeks kicked them off the set.
