The Love Boat (Love Boat in its final season) is an American television series set on a cruise ship, which aired on the ABC Television Network from September 24, 1977, until February 27, 1987. The show revolves around the ship's captain (played by Gavin MacLeod) and a handful of its crew, with several passengers – played by different guest actors for each episode – having romantic and humorous adventures. It was part of ABC's popular Saturday night lineup that included Fantasy Island until that show ended in 1984.

The original 1976 made-for-TV movie on which the show was based (also titled The Love Boat) was itself based on the nonfiction book The Love Boats by Jeraldine Saunders, a real-life cruise director. Two more TV movies (titled The Love Boat II and The New Love Boat) would follow before the series began its run.

The executive producer for the series was Aaron Spelling, who produced several successful series for ABC from the 1960s into the 1980s.

Cool. I used to watch this one a lot back in the day.

**Melis** · 07-15-2015, 09:16 AM

I was ADDICTED! It's on the Pop channel if you want to watch it.

The theme is now stuck in my head.

**Barrybgb** · 07-16-2015, 12:13 PM

I saw that. It used to be on MeTV too.

**Melis** · 07-16-2015, 01:47 PM

I don't remember much, but I'm going to start watching more.

**Barrybgb** · 07-17-2015, 09:06 AM

Cool.

I'm so lost. I have no idea what's going on.

Today I saw one character had met a man who claimed to be celibate. He was just conning her.

Umm....okay.

Not that I condone what he did, but she was dumb enough to believe it.

What a wacky situation! Lol.

**Melis** · 07-20-2015, 12:15 PM

lol

This show is confusing. There's so many characters. It seems none of the storylines run together.

**Melis** · 07-23-2015, 01:42 PM

Been having fun watching the marathon.

**Barrybgb** · 07-24-2015, 09:17 AM

I'm glad.

**Melis** · 07-24-2015, 02:44 PM

I missed it today. Woke up too late.
