The fat kid in me just couldn't let it go.

I tried to like this episode as I'm binge watching The Love Boat at present. Being a former obese person I was disgusted at the way the two characters Lulu and Kenny were portrayed. They stereotyped them so badly they didn't even bother to give their characters different names. Their entire plot revolved around food and how they continually gorged themselves night and day. No wonder people like me were shunned and made fun of. Hollywood portrays us as nothing but pigs. I thank God and myself that I lost weight and became healthy as an adult because this show and others like it lend nothing to an overweight person's self esteem. I am embarrassed for these two people, Lulu Roman & Kenny Price ,that they took the paycheck. Yes, I've seen her on Hee Haw so I'm not entirely surprised but both of them should have had the self esteem to have literally walked away from the table.

On a side note, it was wonderful to see Dottie West. She was a beautiful, wondefully talented lady and left this earth far too soon. The performances by Gavin MacLeod and gang were entertaining as always.

Warning: Spoilers
Gopher is still trying to take a picture of Dottie West. Those fatties are still eating! Stop! You'll eat the entire ship! Hey, Mel, I'm trying to enjoy my drink in the Pirate's Cove. Can you cool it with the full symphony accompaniment? Bert still can't those kids. Stupid kids! You're a sucker, Steve Kanaly. She looks sweet, but she's a homewrecker. The Love Boat is a nice place, because people are always changing their minds. Captain Stubing puts on Western duds! Yee-haw! More country music? Excuse me, I have to go brush my teeth. Something like that. Jessica Walter sings 'Stand by Your Man.' I love that Blues Brothers song. On Kafka's Love Boat Scale, this double-length episode gets 2 1/2 * out of a possible 4 *.
