Janet actually auditioned for Dorothy Dandridge and wanted to play her but Halle Berry ended up getting cast. I think Janet should have play that role.
Joshua McDowell Actually, Janet never auditioned for that. She always planned to do her own separate Dorothy Dandridge film project, but never got around to it. I remember seeing her speak about this on BET after the DD film starring Halle Berry premiered.
That’s why you should never speak publicly about your plans, there are intellectual thieves, she would have captured Ms. Dandridge way better than Berry,
Everytime a black girl came on her I knew she was Isaac's love interest. I wish Janet would do more film and television she's definitely got the Chops.
As someone who grew up watching the Love Boat, yes! All the plots and lines were ever so cheesy. But there was always some type of naivety about the show that made it so endearing. To be honest however, I had forgotten about this episode, and Janet's performance made me giggle a lot. Have you noticed how her acting got better whenever she was talking about sex, or seducing or being sensual? she just seemed so comfortable and natural, which makes sense when it comes to her music, especially the ones that deal with sex, sensuality and relationships, she just exhumes sexiness and it's just something that is innately part of her.
@@youknowwhatflav9916 I would have to disagree. I saw that photo of Janet worn the Carmen Jones outfit and she looked like a black Madonna. They did the right choice choosing Halle if not then I would gave it to Kim Fields.
Yeah, I still believe it should have been her over Halle. Always will... But at least she got to portray a version of her in the Twenty Foreplay music video.
the thing that gets me about this is that this dude is older than her oldest siblings Jackie & Rebbie.I would love to see their reactions to this in an interview!lol.
Liked her on Good Times. Found her tempting on Different Strokes. Hard to believe that this soft spoken Woman is the alluring and captivating performer on stage and music videos.
I totally remember when this aired back in the 80’s. I was 17 or 18 and Janet Jackson is one year older than me and they advertised her being on The Love Boat all week and I couldn’t wait to see it because at the time she had just finished doing Fame. When I learned she was to portray a Love interest for Issac I was sure it had to be a typo because Ted Lang was wayyyy older omg! Although after watching this clip decades later I can see that Ted Lang was so sweet and gentle in his approach to kissing her given her inexperience but still I cringed but not nearly as much as you can see Janet cringing. She definitely was uncomfortable doing those scenes but managed to get through it. It was uncomfortable to watch. But still kudos to Ted Lang he could have been more aggressive with those kissing scenes but he kept it very light and to me that was a sense of respect for her age being so young. Janet did a decent job portraying a more mature role than just the likes of Charlene on Different Strokes. She had to be out of her mind with nerves you can really see it but honestly I think she did good considering. Come to think of it her birthday is coming up to date of this post. Her birthday is May16th three days from now and wow she will be 55! My Summer birthday I will be 54 I been a fan since watching her on The Jackson’s Variety Show when we were 6 or 7 years old wow.
Janet can flip that!!! She could play a "Serious Ice Queen" in A Hot New York Minute.... She is Beautiful, Talented, and Acting came ( Comes) A Bit Natural... She was Good...
You are very welcome, it's why I love posting the rare videos, and yes this is both episodes. I really appreciate you watching and commenting, and please keep an eye out, never know what I'll upload next.
@@couldyoupassthesaltplease.2006 Of all the men janet has been photographed with filmed with personally and professionally this is cringworthy.No offense but ewww😩
@@schantieriathomas5644 They should have gotten someone more age appropriate for her. And he was with that middle eastern mustache looking like her Iraqi father.
I cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am to you lol. I have been searching for this clip for about 5 years!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I loved watching this! Was this both episodes she was in? I have to say though, i felt horrible seeing her in cuffs. They're going to have my girl looking like Cleo in jail..and not the Cleo from fame lmbo. Thanks again for uploading this!
But no ain't nobody gonna say anything about the robot giving everything away by busting out the door and walking into the wall in front of the whole staff and the criminals LOL 😂 😂
SOOO true, god, didnt you just wanna give her a big squeezing hug at the end like "it's alright, you aint gotta go to jail,I can tell by yo voice that you meant it" then next week she robs a bank and says that again with that sweet voice and sad look
She was 18/19 here. Isaac was what, mid 30s? This kind of thing happened constantly on love boat,: much younger girl becomes love interest for a crew member......😂
Oh Shit. Ted Lange and Janet Jackson sharing a passionate kiss on The Love Boat. Lol. Ted was one lucky guy. I sure would have loved to be kissed by Janet Jackson. Bernadette Stanis was on The Love Boat 5 years before. Janet made a appearance on The Love Boat. Two sexy actresses from Good Times on The Love Boat. The actor Ted Lange is only 18 years older than Janet Jackson in real life.
Nope. RUclips needs to STOP! She was barely 18 and he was about 40 and I was 14 when this aired and it’s STILL cringe worthy! That’s almost like pairing the captain with the girl that played his daughter!!! 🤢🤮
She's so young and beautiful
Janet looks like Dorothy Dandrige here
Doesn't she? I was thinking the same thing. She could've done her lifesstory back then.
Janet actually auditioned for Dorothy Dandridge and wanted to play her but Halle Berry ended up getting cast. I think Janet should have play that role.

🎶🎶Remember Twenty Foreplay🎶🎶
The Jacksons have the cutest faces.
I know. 💔
She's so beautiful.
Face of an angel..
Love that powder blue dress with chiffon sleeves
Everytime a black girl came on her I knew she was Isaac's love interest. I wish Janet would do more film and television she's definitely got the Chops.
That darn Control album shucks!!🙄😣
Wow, thank you for this rare footage of Janet...I love her!
ok janet with the vintage Gucci bag!!!!! yeeessss!!!
She was so pretty here
Janet has been around for a long time! Icon ❤️
NEVER knew that Janet Jackson did an episode of The Love Boat. Were all the plot lines in that show so cheezy??:).

I didn't know that either
Everybody was in Love Boat.
Janet is so beautiful (:
She is so beautiful
She would have been great as Dorothy Dandridge
Totally
Without a doubt

REEBIE AND JACKIE WOULD'VE PLAYED IT DOWN AS IF THEY'RE GLAD FOR HER
She was still a cast member on Fame (Season 4 1984-1985) while making a guest appearance on The Love Boat.
Dream Street Era !
lol
Janet's looked so cute
@mellowkat01 "You don't stand, another chance!" Lol.
@@goodmeasure777Wore that album out in 1984. 40 years ago now. Just wow.
Janet was gorgeous.
And the Issac guy wasn't bad looking either despite that mustache.
The bald actor was the star in COJACK
The Love Boat used to be the IT back in the day!! Thanks for sharing this!
Janet!...simply beautiful....:o)
I never knew Janet Jackson play on the love boat
Liked her on Good Times. Found her tempting on Different Strokes. Hard to believe that this soft spoken Woman is the alluring and captivating performer on stage and music videos.
love u Janet!!!
Thank you so much for sharing! the villan part suits her so well! she's a brilliant actress
Lol! She didn't really want to kiss him.
Can you blame her. He is twice her age.
@@ShangoJamal ...and not her type!
He hella old hahA
This one caught me off guard. Janet Jackson is a Trooper.
great actress
1 of the reasons I opted to just post Janet's scenes/storyline, besides it being a hour, it was a mess lol.
this man looks at least 30 and janet had to be 18 at the time lol
TED LANGE WAS 37 AT THE TIME
Omg she’s a BEAUTY.
B4 THE PLASTIC SURGERY
@@majik31401 she’s a beauty
@@majik31401 nose only
She’s one of the most beautiful woman on earth
Janet Jackson and Telly Savallis, Jesus. The 80s were powerful.
THANKS TO THE 70S
Janet jackson is so pretty
You can tell that Janet didnt really wanna kiss him. I wouldnt either if I was 19 and the man was 18 yrs older than me.. Grodie lol
That is strange. They should have found a younger guy for this.
😂😂😂 Agreed!
An older actress would have been more appropriate for this part. I remember watching this in the 80s and thinking yuck this old man kissing her.
Christ who's the director? Harvey Weinstein?
She was 17
Wow three osmonds and one jackson appeared on the love boat during the show's run
Everyone and their mom was on the love boat
I am the first to watch this. And may I say, Janet is such the most amazing, most wonderful, most adorable woman on Earth!!!! :-D
Awwww... That last scene was so sad.
Love Janet . And I love this. Didn't even know she was in any other show.
Janet was like late teens, issac was between 30-40...... Gotta love ❤ the 80s.
If this was 1985, she was 19 years old
Her and that got damn sexy ass baby doll voice! *shudders* why you gotta be so cute?
She’s georgous
Janet Jackson teaming up with Kojak as a criminal? Wow, who'da thought?
Ted, Telly and Janet.
Legendary.
Janet always had the it factor.

I cringed as well cause Ted is like, 18 yrs older than Janet!
I never saw this. What a treat! I was a huge Love Boat fan, and I am an even bigger Janet fan. She was great in this episode.
Janet can flip that!!! She could play a "Serious Ice Queen" in A Hot New York Minute.... She is Beautiful, Talented, and Acting came ( Comes) A Bit Natural... She was Good...
Go Issac! Thanks for sharing!
Janet is so beautiful. Her body is fantastic!
I've only seen a short clip of this, thanks so much for posting :)
Janet looks more like Dorothy Dandridge to me than Halle Berry and she should have been the one to play her in the movie instead of Ms. Berry.
Faye Taylor I agree too. Halle is great, but Janet would have been excellent
Yes but here's the funny thing Halle and Dorothy was born at the same hospital in Ohio.
Her and Whitney Houston wanted to be Dorothy Dandridge
I came here today because Janet tweeted how she debuted on The Love Boat this day back in 1985 😮
I love that show
@8:12 Isaac looking at her like he about to say-Bitch set me up!
As a Norwegian Jackson family fan, I am very excited to hear Janet talking about Oslo :D
Awww the beautiful Janet Jackson 😍😍😍❤❤
All she was thinking is "i am NOT kissing that damn mustache". and was anyone else thinkin' "the fuck!?!" @ 4:06-4:28?
Now Issac was like 111 she was a baby FOH 😁😁😁😊
😂😂😂😁😆😂😆😆😆😂
Never seen this , she looks like a natural actress and playing with Telly, Amazing
You are very welcome, it's why I love posting the rare videos, and yes this is both episodes. I really appreciate you watching and commenting, and please keep an eye out, never know what I'll upload next.
She was so beautiful 😍
She still is 💋
I wouldn't have kissed him if I were Janet. They would've had to bring in a stunt-double for that kissing part... yuck!..LOL!!
Divine Angel That's why it's called acting. U don't have or need to be attracted to the person n Ted Lange was an attractive man. Imo.
@@MysCathy He looked okay.
It's the mustache😂
Yep I would've said uh uh Joseph this is where i draw the line !
Money talks
the Queen before she became an Icon is on the Love boat.
looking mighty Fine as wine Janet Jackson
Dawg was like 40 years old & Janet was like 18 19😂
I know. I wonder who came up with that idea.

@@schantieriathomas5644 They should have gotten someone more age appropriate for her. And he was with that middle eastern mustache looking like her Iraqi father.
And I say THIS had to be the inspiration behind the song “Nasty” LOL
i found the whole episode and watched it on here...it's a trip. there r a few messy plot lines
The beautiful Ms. Jackson.💜
He was right Janet became a big star.⭐
I have wanted to see this for years!!!!!!
Janet was very pretty.....and a natural. I didnt know about the love boat. Got damn. Janet been gettin money.
I'm watching this RIGHT NOW. At first I thought it was Tooty from Facts of Life
is that freakin Kojack?
The Lollipop man who loves you baby.Yep that is him the sexy Kojack. RIP to Mr. Telly Savalas.
Yes sireeeee
Janet looks a lot like Dorothy Dandridge here
OMG thank u so much for uploading this!!!
Ummmmm who thought it was a good idea to make baby Janet the love interest of this wisened mustachioed man?
Ms. Jackson in handcuffs!! That's funny....hahaha
@slimtee2 Lol. Years later, on the Velvet Rope cd, on the insert thingy she had cuffs on also lmao.
Damn this is a year before Control and Janet look like Dorothy Dandridge in this.
Janet Jackson was channeling Dorothy Dandridge throughout this episode.
I cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am to you lol. I have been searching for this clip for about 5 years!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I loved watching this! Was this both episodes she was in? I have to say though, i felt horrible seeing her in cuffs. They're going to have my girl looking like Cleo in jail..and not the Cleo from fame lmbo. Thanks again for uploading this!
She was 19 years old here!!!
But no ain't nobody gonna say anything about the robot giving everything away by busting out the door and walking into the wall in front of the whole staff and the criminals LOL 😂 😂
I'm surprise to see her in this movie. Why she stopped her acting career she was good
SOOO true, god, didnt you just wanna give her a big squeezing hug at the end like "it's alright, you aint gotta go to jail,I can tell by yo voice that you meant it" then next week she robs a bank and says that again with that sweet voice and sad look
What's so funny is that I remember this story line, I didn't remember that Janet co starred in the episode.
I love her!
He might have looked younger without the mustache....but still, a little disturbing to see him kissing a much younger Janet:-/
Dr. King: Is this stool reserved for someone?
Me: No!!! Don't you see the 'reserved' sign?
A natural beauty!
LMAO! This episode is wild.
She is just gorgeous
Who knew Janet was on Love boat
She was 18/19 here. Isaac was what, mid 30s? This kind of thing happened constantly on love boat,: much younger girl becomes love interest for a crew member......😂
Pause on 0:12 and say this with me,, GOOD GAWDDDDD!!! :D
Work girl ! and issac was comin strong w/ his rap for J!
They knew good and well she was too young for this role. He is too old for her. She was probably 18 or 19 when this filmed.
Janet in cuffs? LOL!!!
I WOULDA GAVE HER SENTIMENTAL KISS
I said that back in the day,she looks like Dorothy Dandridge.
woman = singular
women = plural
kinda weird for them to have a very young looking janet, to be the love interest of a older man on loveboat
He look a lil old for her.
Fair exchange is no robbery
Oh Shit. Ted Lange and Janet Jackson sharing a passionate kiss on The Love Boat. Lol. Ted was one lucky guy. I sure would have loved to be kissed by Janet Jackson.
