This episode is really awful. And its love boat so its kind of supposed to be awful. An absurd vanity piece, the show involves unwatchable and unlistenable performances thruout. Bad songs without a melody in sight. The love boat regulars cannot sing, any of them. Neither can carol channing. Neither can della reese in all her bucktooth glory. Gavin mcleod might very well be the worst. And the soundstage keeps getting bigger and bigger, forgetting they are on a 1970s-era cruise ship not a warehouse studio in burbank. Its hard to pick out the worst part of this because it just never stops. When there were only three channels they could get away with producing this kind of anti-art.

It doesnt do enough to move away from the first one. Almost 20 years have passed but its hard to tell. Would like to see some risk-taking but its limited. Not sure how much of this coresponds with stories from the magazine as the first did. Film loses at least one star for the almost-constant, instrusive horrible music. Consisting mostly of tuneless growling and thuds, it serves as nothing more than distracting background noise. The first movie used better music better. So, visually ok-to-good; stories the same. Most of the music is awful, annoying and gets in the way. Its probably not as dayed and offensive as the first one which might be a bad thing.

This is the opening salvo in the attempt by hollywood to turn the guy in the white house into a hero. Gone are the dark, gloomy white house settings with neverending and increasingly sinister (and ridiculous) plots afoot. No more evil, scheming, warmongering old fogies doddering around in the mist & shadows. This is replaced with bright sunny settings. We see a young attractive, vibrant prez, not screwing around with an intern at all with a great understanding & supportive wife not trying to take over the health care system. Kline & Weaver were at the height of their powers, both having a 10-year-long string of hits. For the next eight years filmgoers would be treated to presidents who are now heroes and take over a hijacked air force one. Think there's no agenda? Ask yourself how movies like Dave and Air Force One & others attempted to tilt the public's view and reaction to the president.
