In one of the most bizarre cultural events in recent memory, Andy Warhol appeared as a guest star on The Love Boat last Saturday. I tuned in long enough to find out what he was doing there (celebrating the ship's 200th cruise by painting the portrait of a "lucky" passenger) but not long enough to cause brain damage. Now, if they really wanted to do something strange, they should have let him direct the episode. Perhaps in the future, everyone will be a guest star on The Love Boat for fifteen minutes.
