And, the captain, of course.
One other fun fact: in the second to last season of the Andy Griffith Show, Gavin played the "Sheriff Without A Gun" when the family went out to Hollywood.
He's got hair in that episode!

"Fake News! Fake News!" Now it's evident that it's true. I am watching the Love Boat right now. Season 1, episode 2 with John Ritter as a guest star. I always loved that show.

He played Gordy the sportscaster for the first season or two, till his character landed a national gig.

Loved him on MTM!!! And on Love Boat

How sad it is to hear Ed Asner say it's just him and Betty now. What a feeling it must be for him to know that everyone else from the iconic show has passed and it's just you and one other person left. I feel like crying!!

I just LOVED The Mary Tyler Moore show

It's amazing how long they all lived though...except for Ted

even though she was a Type 1 diabetic. On the end, she was almost blind and her kidneys were failing.
