The Love Boat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The series' attraction was in the casting of well-known actors in guest-starring roles, with many famous film stars of yesteryear making rare television appearances. |
 | | Although it wasn't the first series to use the all-star cast anthology format — Love American Style used the same device a decade earlier -- Love Boat perfected the genre and future shows in similar style (Supertrain and Masquerade to name two) were inevitably compared to Love Boat. |
 | | The series was also distinctive as being one of the few hour-long series ever made for American television that used a laugh track (Eight is Enough, on the same network and produced at the same time, being another example). |
