"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 husband feels neglected; a woman meets a beau she thought was killed in battle; April returns to learn Julie's job.

A hypnotist (Vincent Price) fears losing his lover; a habitual liar sees a woman in real trouble; guest Maureen Reagan.

A cruise to China brings mystery and romance to crew and passengers; guests John Forsythe, Ursula Andress, Linda Evans.

Mystery abounds when a woman becomes friendly with a man she knew in a past life, but he doesn't remember her; Captain Stubing pursues a beautiful passenger who seems intent on avoiding him.
