Nancy McKeon on The Love Boat!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Yesterday on the Love boat Nancy was on!!! She was so young!! Looked much younger than when she played Jo. She was really cute!

She played a gymnast with a strict Father who was all about her practicing and making it to the Olympics, and not letting her have much of a social life!

She met a young guy on the cruise and they hit it off, and at first her Dad didn't want her to socialize with him, than he ended up changing his mind ,let them go dancing in the ship's disco!

Nancy was playing a much more feminine girl, than how she is portrayed as Jo!

Gemini89, I thought of you cause I see you are a really big Facts of Life fan! I was thinking of coming here to let you know yesterday when I saw Nancy was going to be on. But it's METV and I'm on the West Coast, the show already ran on the east coast and central time. I didn't know where you live! METV is funny, it plays the shows at the same time all over, unlike Antenna where there is a three hour difference depending on your time zone!

Hope you get to catch it sometime ! It was a cute story.

Her Father was good looking too!!

And the other story going on in that ep. was really good too!! Had Lamont from Sanford and son ( Demond Wilson) and JJ from Good Times. ( Jimmy Walker) !

The dad was played by Alex Cord. He was a regular on Airwolf, and was in the cheesy 80's killer mutant cat flick Uninvited.

Well, that wouldn't have been her call, that would have been producers/hairstylists.
