"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.
Stubing fears a portrait will be too revealing; a woman won't become involved with her neighbor; a new groom sees a face from his past.
Gopher thinks he recognizes a woman; a pianist debates ending his retirement; a man tries to claim workers' compensation for insanity.
A man insists a woman is his reincarnated wife; Julie's hair causes her headaches; a man discovers a secret.
Stubing hears about a former love; a man wants to leave his companion aboard; a man claims he was attacked.
