    Enjoyable Sendoff

    I just recently saw this episode for the first time, even though I am the age of the Brady kids, who were "all grown up" by the time it aired. The Love Boat leveraged terrible to mediocre writing into 10 years of life because it combined the fun of a cruise with a weekly walk down nostalgia lane. And this episode caps it all off and pays tribute to the cavalcade of guest stars over the years in its inimitable, mediocre way. I loved it. Seeing Tina Louise, Mike and Carol Brady, and the Cleavers were highlights for me. You can watch it anytime on Paramount+. I recommend a rainy day, a comfy couch, and a pizza to go with.
