*Episode 17 is presented in its original double-length format, before it was split in two for syndication.

I am so happy that I got this DVD for myself. I watch season one and two everyday. I enjoy going back to a time when life was more casual and not so unfriendly, and dangerous as today is. I wish I would have bought them long ago.

Call it hokey, call it cheesey - I just can't get enough of Love Boat DVDs. I am compiling my Love Boat collection and am loving it! I know buying the DVD sets in half series is not a popular choice on this board, but I don't mind. These DVDs bring back great memories! This was my most favorite show when I was . . . ahem . . younger. LOL!!

this is a great show - nice characters - simple and fun to watch. So, why do we have to wait so long for the next seasons??? There are a lot of fans in Europe too!!!

The final 12 episodes from THE LOVE BOAT's second season. This set includes the legendary double-length show ("A Good and Faithful Servant / The Secret Life of Burl Smith / Tug of War / Designated Lover"), which stars all three members of the Mills family acting dynasty - Sir John Mills, Hayley Mills and Juliet Mills. In the show, Hayley is a famous model and the object of fantasy for Gopher (Fred Grandy). It's a real highlight from the season.

Former stowaway April Lopez (Charo) makes her return to the Pacific Princess - this time as a professional entertainer; and we also get to meet Gopher's parents...played by none other than Ethel Merman and Bob Cummings!

So let's once again join the Pacific Princess crew, including darling Julie (Lauren Tewes), Captain Stubing (Gavin MacLeod), Dr. Bricker (Bernie Kopell) and bartender Isaac (Ted Lange) for another twelve cruises into drama, comedy and romance.

This is one of the great Series and it brings back lots of good memories for me and great stars (many who are now gone)...and remembering those stars that put enjoyment in our lives.

Yes, it's campy, but it's feel-good TV. That's how I feel when I watch the DVDs. Wish they came in full seasons & were released a more quickly. Where the heck is Season 3???

If you are looking for a fun TV show with small vignettes, this is the place to come. Quite enjoyable and humorous.

I still remember some of the individual stories (My Sister Ireme is my all time favorite with Ray Bolger and Martha Raye) and being able to go to any episode has been great. The world really was a simplier time back then, wasn't it?

Love watching these classics with my kids and remembering that this was one of the two nights a week that we, as children were allowed to stay up late and watch. Ready for season 3!
