The Real Love Boat. CBS has pulled it from their schedule after four episodes, remainder will be burned off on Paramount+. The Amazing Race is moving an hour earlier starting November 2, and drama repeats will air at 10:00.

The Real Love Boat was one of the let downs for CBS

never heard of it; what'S it about?

never heard of it; what'S it about?It was a reality show hosted by Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn. This was the description posted here when the upfronts threads were made. "The new reality romance adventure THE REAL LOVE BOAT, inspired by the classic hit scripted series “The Love Boat,” sets sail on Princess Cruises in 2022. THE REAL LOVE BOAT brings singles together to travel the Mediterranean on a luxury cruise ship while looking for love. Destination dates, challenges and surprise singles will test the couples’ compatibility and chemistry. Like the beloved original scripted series, the indispensable crew members, including “captain” and “cruise director,” who will be selected from actual Princess crew members, will play pivotal roles in the matchmaking and navigation of the romantic (and sometimes turbulent) waters ahead. After almost a month at sea, only one winning couple will make it to the final port and take home a cash prize plus a once-in-a-lifetime trip courtesy of Princess Cruises, the series’ exclusive cruise line partner."

Sounds like a typical reality tv love drama show but with an added gimmick.

You have to wonder at the end of the day, who exactly was The Real Love Boat for? Was for instance, CBS' Boomer audience going to go for what they likely will think is nothing more than a trashy (https://sodramaticonline.com/2022/10/06/the-real-love-boat-australia-premiere-twitter-reactions/) reality show (https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2885648-who-watched-the-real-love-boat/). And would the Gen X/Millenial/Zoomer viewers who do watch so-called trashy reality TV have any attachment to a network show from 40 years ago?

they should have just brought back the original concept show for a limited series with some big name guest stars from the past and current stars - that's what I was hoping it would be, but turned it off less than halfway through the first episode.

-- or even have the remaining original cast take a cruise and relive some experiences and share some stories, that could be fun.
