MJF is a legend without a doubt. With that said, if this episode was not written 1 hour before it was filmed, I will eat my vhs copy of Back To The Future 3.
Awww,sad😢😢,My mom absolutely loved This show, She just went to Heaven on 5-14-24 a couple of months ago n i can tell u this was one her absolute favorite shows !!! She watched this Show Religiously, Every Single day.She loved the theme song, n sang along to it, too ,so did i, still do. She knew every actor , and what year they were from n what show. .Sometimes it makes mecry because it remindes me of her, but im So happy n grateful that This Show is Here , And that it madecmy mom Soo happy. Rip Mom, Love you, your daughter Dawn Rita 🙏 💞💞💞💞💞
Great show everyone sat down to watch after dinner together. We all wondered who was going to be guest on the show. Always had a happy ending. Those were the good Ole days
It came on every Saturday nite We always went out too eat that night, then would come home & watch the Love Boat & then Fantasy Island afterwards. My parents were also Dallas fans, they couldn't wait too see what old JR was up too ! 😂 every Friday night
I remember being a 9 yrs old at the time and I had a huge crush on Michael J Fox and I wrote him a letter and I got a response it said thank you for your support and I couldn't believe it. Michael J Fox was in Back To The Future and The Secret Of My Success and Family Ties and he was popular in the 80s and I remember reading Teen Beat Then 17 Magazine So sad that the new generation missed out and they had alot of famous people on this show.
The Love Boat was the king of cameos. Barbara Billingsley (Leave it to Beavers mom) along with Michael J Fox. Every episode was like this. I loved growing up in the 80's👍
Well the actors have 9 years apart in age. Michael was 21/22 playing an 18 year old and Greg Henry was 30/31 when filmed. Looking at the photo, I guess one could be 3 and the other a young looking 12/13.
I love Michael J. Fox. Every show he has done was exceptional. I never knew that he was on the Love Boat. Keep Strong MJF....You are most definitely a talented actor.
I loved this show back in the late 70’s/ early80’s. I would go to cubs after school on Tuesday nights and come home and watch it with Dad around 8:30 to 9:30 pm. So many life’s lessons. Always made me dream of going on a cruise as an adult and fall in love with a pretty gal when I grew up. Always the happily ever after show. Still never done a cruise now in my early 50’s with two kids early teens. 😂 maybe next year.
Me too 😢was about 9 or 10yrs old and loved laying in front of TV with either a bestie or family enjoying this show. Always a moral to be learned and just great ,clean, fine entertainment. good ol’ days! ❤
It's looks like in line life story ture life movie all about him being back in time more information on his back to the future movie series season start show releases review family ties before
How appropriate…the title of this episode is called “He ain’t heavy…” This clip had it all: Beaver’s mom, Gidget’s dad, Mallory’s brother, the BTK Killer. All accomplished actors with hundreds of credits amongst them. And of course, Isaac. He adds levity to any situation. The best.
Jimmy (played by Michael J) is adopted, which explains why the parents are much older - they are adoptive parents. It’s likely they couldn’t have biological kids and decided to adopt in their 40s. His older brother was not adopted likely because of separation due to separate foster parents. It explains the parents reaction to when Jimmy told them he found his brother (“are you sure he is your brother?” Instead of “omg! Our lost other son!!”) Jimmy grew up to be a bit spoiled as the parents seem wealthier. The older brother grew up different. Shows a bit of a wealth stratification/class. I guess fate brought them together, which is the only thing that can explain Jimmy’s silly conflict with him from the start and wanting to fight him 1-1 later 😅 My only issue is that they look nothing alike !
@@GeekFilter Barbara Billingsley the mother on here also on leave it to beaver, was born in 1915 so if this episode was in 83 she would of been 68 here.
@@eddieisgreat5150 Right but take 18 years off of that and that's the age when they would have been adopting (assuming he was a baby when adopted) So in their 50s not 40s
I love the backstory you created for them - it makes complete sense! The only problem I had with the story is Jimmy never took ownership of his behavior and never offered an apology for it. His attitude was basically, "this is just who I am, so if you want your brother, live with it".
It's so clear that all the comments saying they are so old to be the parents clearly do not watch the entire video... later in the video, it's obvious that he was adopted...
I think every actor alive in the 80's had a cameo on Love Boat. That's what was different about this show. It centered on a new celebrity guest character every episode.
Such a talented amazing guy have been a fan of Michael J Fox since 1982 familyties I seen all of his movies 🎬 This character is playing is a little over the top but Michael J Fox can play any character any character so perfectly well
Barbara Billingsley was 67 when the episode filmed. If she was playing a little younger (63) she could have had him at 45, or she could be a stepmother.
@@kevinjones9586 I know what The Love Boat was, we used to watch it every week. There is no reason they couldn't have casted a younger couple as everyone who was anyone wanted to be on it.
I don't know who the father was in real life but the woman was Barbara Billingsley (June Cleaver from Leave it to Beaver). She was 68 y.o. when this was done. Although it's rare, it isn't impossible for women to have kids at that age.
The Actor playing Gregory has done alot of great work as well. The one I remember him most for is from Payback with Mel Gibson. Love Boat was always a running ensemble cast.
I was just thinking the same thing. He played a great bad guy in Payback and a sick pervert as well but hey with Lucy Lui in that movie I can understand.
What an amazing story.. Love boat truly was a place where dreams came through. Anyone else hoping for a split second when he shook Mj's hand he threw him overboard.. 9:34 Whats wrong with me :(
Truly bad.... thanks for this! I remember this when it was on TV as I was a massive MJF fan. I am sure I didn't see the corniness of this at the time, but it sure brings a tear to my eye... after laughing so much!
If they ever want to update this storyline for 2023, have Michael J. Fox's character take out his iphone to record it and try to humilidate the service staff online. That's what these types do these days.
Thanks to Doc tooling with the Love Boat’s mechanical parts and a little help from the Libyans, it reached speeds of 88 knots and Marty McFly went back in time to the orphanage swing set with his older brother.
I always found it funny that The Love Boat was done with such a glossy veneer and a smile that it was viewed by many as almost a family-friendly, wholesome show. Grandmothers watched it. I guess its "saving grace" was that all the gratuitous "T & A scenery" and rampant casual sex was turned into promised long term relationships by the end of the hour.
"Sure, I've longed to know my little brother my whole life... but I experienced you twice in a bad mood and I don't want anything to do with you pal! Maybe give it another try in another 20 years!"
They look more like his grandparents than his mom and dad!
Exactly, she had a boy about his age on Leave it to Beaver.
ahh...adoptive parents
IKR?
@@kenlompart9905 Yea shes not only the mother of Michael J Fox but also Beaver and Wally i guess this is her 2nd husband and she jive talks on airplanes haha

I agree. Im 53 .
To be a kid, not too be a kid, kid.
I remember it took a whole hour to resolve all conflicts and have a happy ending on The Love Boat. Now with youtube we can get it done in 10 minutes.
7 minutes if you watch it at 1.5x speed, which I do typically to save time.
Many happy endings took place inside the bedrooms of the Love Boat.
Do we ever learn why they were separated? This mystery will haunt me to the core of my being for decades.
I think I need to check the whole series someday, I don't want it to let it pass out of my memory
"Excuse me, Captain? I speak jive" It's Mrs. Cleaver!
One of the best movie scenes in history! ;)

Def did not expect to stay tuned for the entire 10mins. I never watched the Love Boat, but it's good! Wholesome 80s tv never disappoints.
I saw that episode and never imagined that this boy without any importance would become the giant that he is today for many of my generation.. mjfox
He was already important, he had a hit show Family ties.
This is why love boat featured him as a guest STAR.
"Giant" 😂

The guy who refused the tip played Mitchum Huntzberger in Gilmore Girls and Jason Bourne’s dad.
“You were being short with him, weren’t you, Jimmy?” And then June Cleaver enables him. 😂
On Airplane, she speaks jive
Gregory's cabin has a personal gym, and a porthole? Are we sure he isn't the captain instead.
On the flight to catch the cruise, Barbara Billingsley was speaking Jive with some fellow passengers.
She had to step in to translate at one point.
Michael was my crush growing up. I just loved everything he did .
Mine too. Even married someone who looked like him lol. He wasn’t as kind as he was sweet looking, so I divorced him. 😂

Michael J Fox looks like he's 10 in this, hes always looked young as H-E- double tooth pix.
And after watching this, the director of "Family Ties" decided MJF was perfect to play Alex Keaton with his arrogant attitude.
Thanks to Doc tooling with the Love Boat’s mechanical parts and a little help from the Libyans, it reached speeds of 88 knots and Marty McFly went back in time to the orphanage swing set with his older brother.
Biff was the babysitter.
If he was running on boat was he running over 88 knots
I only learned of Michael as a guest through the passing of Gavin MacLeod. I just didn't see this episode
