This episode is a little delayed but look at that runtime! And no, it's not all The Love Boat, but there's plenty of that. On this episode of Across the Omniverse we watch a season one episode of the primetime broadcast anthology show from the 1970s, featuring guest stars like Bill Bixby and Milton Berle. We talk about what a creep Doc is, the weird way you can get from Bixby to the Trump administration, and how Charo overexposed herself into obscurity.

Before that we have news, like the winners of the Critic's Choice Awards, and we go long on Stranger Things season 5 and the finale. How long? Let's just say that you should skip from 47:01 to 1:45:05 if you don't want to get spoiled or just don't care about the topic. And that's a good point to start at if you want to simply get to the The Love Boat.
