The American television series "The Love Boat" (also known as "Love Boat" in its final season) was broadcast on ABC from September 24, 1977, to May 24, 1986. The show featured multiple storylines within each episode, typically focusing on crew members, crew interacting with passengers, and passengers themselves. These narratives often followed a thematic structure, with one storyline usually being a straightforward comedy, another a romantic comedy with occasional dramatic elements, and the third being the most dramatic and serious.

Over its run, the series included three pilot movies, followed by 245 regular episodes distributed across nine seasons. Additionally, five specials were produced after the main series concluded. The show's broadcast history spanned nearly a decade, concluding in the spring of 1986. Home media releases for the series have been managed by CBS Home Entertainment.
