'I just heard a lot of clop clop clopping!' The Love Boat - where disco never died. I'll say it now. I prefer Judy Landers and Charo to Loni Anderson. This is yet another 90 minute episode. It's an 'Acapulco Steeplechase Cruise.' Well, okay. Allen Ludden is here with Betty White. He's excited to enter his horse. Betty is jealous of the horse. A horse on a cruise ship? Wacky! Loni is a famous actress, due to appear at the race. She's in disguise as her own secretary. Robert Stack is the 'World's Most Eligible Bachelor.' He's immediately smitten with Julie. Is Julie available? I think she's 'Untouchable.' He's alright, but he's no Michael Murphy. Will they work together? It's an 'Unsolved Mystery.' Oh yes. The Village People are here. They're here to kill the heterosexual 1970s for good. Captain Stubing is apparently a fan. Do you think they'll sing 'In the Navy'? David Doyle is back. He wants to buy Ludden's horse. The guys are taking care of a horse. They've named it Captain Stubing! In the big race, the Indian is racing for the Village People. I would have picked the Policeman. On Kafka's Love Boat Scale, this episode gets 3 * out of a possible 4 *.
