Creator's Key Takeaways

I was cast the night before we started filming the pilot yes so I found out at nine o'clock at night that in the morning I was coming back to change my life for the next 45 years

I went to bartending school in Los Angeles and they gave me two diplomas one for Isaac Washington which we put up in the Acapulco lounge and one for Ted lands

I took a set piece that you may recall I was replaced by Judy McCoy so the cruise director's door now at the end said Jay McCoy

I was in Monaco and John Forsyth was in Monaco and there was a man who had a monumentally gorgeous multi zillion dollar yacht and he invited Forsyth and Wayne Rogers and myself for lunch one day

The packed Princess Showroom was the perfect setting for fascinating anecdotes from cast members Cynthia Lauren Tewes (“Julie”), Ted Lange (“Isaac”), Fred Grandy (“Gopher”), Jill Whelan (“Vicki”) and Bernie Kopell (“Doc”). For nearly an hour and captured from one of the best seats in the house, the cast share fond memories of the show that lit up living rooms worldwide each Saturday night from 1978 to 1986. Hear about mega producer Aaron Spelling’s superstitions, Vicki’s first kiss in front of a huge filming crew, Julie’s audition, Doc’s on-camera fling with Juliet Prowse, the origin of Isaac’s famous “point” and so much more. Among the guest stars and other celebrities recalled are Gene Kelly, Jill St. John, Hal Linden, Alejandro Rey, John Forsythe, Susan Strasberg, Charles Boyer, Scatman Crothers, Farrah Fawcett, Dick Powell and many more.
