IThe Love Boat/I is still "exciting and new" in these 12 star-studded episodes that completed its maiden season. The essence of comfort television, this decade-defining anthology series set aboard the Pacific Princess offered viewers a grand and glamorous escape as week after week Capt. Stubing, the Bligh with a heart of gold (Gavin McLeod), cute and capable cruise director Julie (Lauren Tewes), Yeoman-Purser "Gopher" (Fred Grandy), lecherous Adam "Doc" Bricker (Bernie Kopell), and bartender Isaac (Ted Lange) became entangled in their passengers' romantic crises. Each episode deftly interweaves stories ranging from silly (Gopher smuggles a monkey onboard) to sweet (two inexperienced newlyweds fail to, um, connect) to the serious (an older man feels he must give up his much younger lover). Unlike envelope-pushing shows of the day like ISaturday Night Live/I and ISoap/I, IThe Love Boat/I did not make waves. Nudge-nudge and wink-wink jokes aside, viewers could sit back, relax, and bask in the certainty that in most episodes true love would win out by the time the ship docked, with rocky marriages saved, rutted relationships rekindled, and new romances launched. Of course, what keeps us booking return passage on IThe Love Boat/I is the eclectic roster of guest stars, familiar hands from movies and television. It's always a joy to see Jim Backus at his blustery best, Morey Amsterdam and Rose Marie crack wise, and Georgia Engel (McLeod's IThe Mary Tyler Moore Show/I costar) be charming and childlike. It's also fun to see stars cast against type, like IGet Smart/I's Don Adams as a nightclub entertainer, IHee-Haw/I babe and former IPlayboy/I Playmate Barbie Benton as a French-speaking golddigger, and ISgt. Bilko/I's Phil Silvers as lonely man who gets a new lease on life. It's more fun still to spot future stars like Shelley Long (ICheers/I), taking her bookworm persona for a spin around the deck before breaking through on ICheers/I. This four-disc set somewhat makes amends to collectors for splitting the season by including IThe New Love Boat/I, the feature-length pilot that launched the series and christened the iconic crew. I--Donald Liebenson/I

 Great!!! November 16, 2008

I was really upset about the season/volume presentation and waited what seemed like forever to buy the total first season. It stood up really well over the years and I was glad I broke down. I still don't appreciate the way the distributors are releasing shows. For example twenty-five dollars($25) for one volume of five(5) in the set equals ($125) and one year later fifty dollars($50) for the entire boxed set.

The only regret I have of this DVD is the fact that Paramount is cheapening out by releasing them as volumes, instead of seasons to try to make it appear less expensive. It's 1977 all over again and after 31 years I still get sucked into this program! The cavalcade of Hollywood has-beens from the past make up the passenger manifest in this second volume! We have Michelle Lee who wound up living on this program along with Desi Arnez Jr. Is it cheesy? Yes! But who cares! I would also watch this show as a kid every Saturday night and it always felt like I was going along with them. In fact, I would even get a little down when the final night of the cruise segment was on because that meant the episode was coming to an end. This is Television at its best! You can't go wrong with this one!

I experienced a little trouble with recieving the dvd, but after contacting amazon, I recieved another quickly. I loved the show back in the 70's and couldn't wait for it to start coming out, I really enjoy watching shows at my leisure.

I enjoyed season 1 volume 1 and I enjoyed volume 2 as well. I agree with some of the other reviewers that are disappointed that the complete season was not offered, however, I have been waiting for too long for this series to be released on dvd to protest buying it. The show is just as I remembered, cute, a little corny, and a lot of fun to watch. I can't wait until more seasons are released.
