The Love Boat

The Love Boat is an American romantic comedy/drama television series which aired on ABC from 1977 to 1986; in addition, four three-hour specials aired in 1986, 1987, and 1990. The series was set on luxury passenger cruise ship MS Pacific Princess, and revolved around the ship's captain Merrill Stubing and a handful of its crew, with passengers played by guest actors for each episode, having romantic and humorous adventures. The ship's regular ports of call were Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco. The series was part of ABC's popular Saturday-night lineup of the time, which also included Fantasy Island until 1984. The original 1976 made-for-TV movie on which the show was based was itself based on the nonfiction book Love Boats by Jeraldine Saunders, a real-life cruise director for a passenger cruise ship line. She was also partly inspired by the 1955 German cruise ship Aurora. It was followed by two more made-for-TV movies, all before the series began its first season in September 1977.
