EXCERPT: Love Boat Cast Members Explain Why The Show Was So Popular

CINDY: I don't think I knew how successful the show was until it was over.

JILL: Why do you think people liked it so much?

CINDY: At the time nobody could afford to go on a cruise or they thought they couldn't.

JILL: Yeah

CINDY: And so here - they were able to take a vacation every week - a lot of people love seeing the guest stars. Especially the older guest stars. And now people remember the show in a whole different reality than it really was.

JILL: I know it's so true.

CINDY: Which I think is funny because they remember it being this sweet, lovey, show - and I remember People giving us trouble for you know being all about sex and free sex. Cause it was about free sex. Julie never actually had any but she tried to hook people up 3 and 4 times a cruise if possible. I mean that was her - my job.

TED: Yeah, I was getting them soused so they could do it.

CINDY: So they could go do it. And if it didn't work out Julie will find you another one.

EXCERPT: The real meaning of Cuchi-Cuchi

CHARO: What Cuchi-Cuchi come from it is such a disappointment for everybody when they know because everybody thinks that is sex. C-U-C-H-I-L-L-O, that was the name of my dog. He was a mix between a St. Bernard and a pit bull. I make a joke about that. First he bite you and then he run for help. But I call him Cuchi. He have a problem in the back so when the dog wiggle he don't wiggle like the dog. He wiggle up front and front I swear. Never in my mind was sex. Cuchi-Cuchi showed me the way to the bank so thank you very much everybody.

EXCERPT: Dave Coulier Explains the Remarkable Thing About Full House

DAVE: Full House. We have not gone off the year since 1987, which in itself is remarkable. There is something in the Kool-Aid with Full House. We have no idea what it is but it really has had staying power and I think it's more popular now that it's ever been just because of syndication.
