"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.

The crew distracts Julie from a planned surprise; a wife finds a romantic letter; a father pressures his athlete daughter.

To avoid marriage, a man tells his girlfriend he's dying; Stubing's old flame returns; teenage lovers want the honeymoon suite.

A China cruise brings mystery and romance to crew and passengers; guests Lee Majors, Michael Constantine, Lee Horsley.

A writer condemns her daughter's affair; a boy learns of his father; a couple's love is tested; Judy's ex-spouse boards.
