"The Loooooove Boat " is the familiar refrain that greets viewers at the start of each episode of this long-running series. The romantic-sounding Love Boat promises -- and delivers -- something for everyone. Specifically, it promises a cavalcade of famous guest stars (including many film stars making rare TV appearances), breezy plots, stories of love and plenty of laughs. Join the members of the Pacific Princess crew, headed by Capt. Stubing (Gavin MacLeod), as they greet passengers for the trip of a lifetime. Three made-for-TV movies were made before the series premiered in 1977.

A young man says he is Doc's son; a client's daughter sidetracks an ad man; an escort pursues an older man's (Chuck Connors) companion.

A job-seeker tries deception; a woman thinks a man was once a woman; a scientist dupes Isaac; Gopher meets a socialite.

A woman (Christopher Norris) says she is Swedish to get a job; a woman (Susannah York) thinks a man (Jack Klugman) has had a sex change; a scientist (Telly Savalas) creates a larcenous robot.
