The Love Boat

Summary Love, `exciting and new,' kept this campy anthology series afloat for the 9th series. As passengers cruised on the Pacific Princess, tales of romance inevitably played out and intertwined, even involving the ship's crew. Producer Aaron Spelling called it `a show for people who couldn't afford a cruise.'

Directed By: Roger Duchowny

Written By: Art Baer, Wilford Lloyd Baumes, Bruce Howard, Ben Joelson, Jeraldine Saunders, Jerry Winnick
