''The Love Boat'' is an American television series set on a cruise ship, which aired on the ABC Television Network from May 5, 1977, until February 12, 1990.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/entertainment/2014/05/28/thennow-cast-love-boat/#slide=1 )〕 The show revolves around the ship's captain (played by Gavin MacLeod) and a handful of its crew, with several passengers – played by different guest actors for each episode – having romantic and humorous adventures. It was part of ABC's popular Saturday night lineup that included ''Fantasy Island'' until that show ended in 1984. The original 1976 made-for-TV movie on which the show was based (also titled ''The Love Boat'') was itself based on the nonfiction book ''The Love Boats'' by Jeraldine Saunders, a real-life cruise director. Two more TV movies (titled ''The Love Boat II'' and ''The New Love Boat'') would follow before the series began its run. The executive producer for the series was Aaron Spelling, who produced several successful series for ABC from the 1960s into the 1980s. In 1997, the episode with segment titles "Hidden Treasure," "Picture from the Past," and "Ace's Salary" (season 9, episode 3) was ranked No. 82 on TV Guide's 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time. ''The Love Boat'' ran for ten seasons, including specials. ==Cast== *Gavin MacLeod as Captain Merrill Stubing (also played Captain Stubing's brother Marshall, under the name O. D. Warbux, in two episodes, and as Captain Stubing's brother Milo, under the name Sonny Wilde, in one episode) *Bernie Kopell as Dr. Adam "Doc" Bricker, ship's doctor *Fred Grandy as Burl "Gopher" Smith, Yeoman Purser *Ted Lange as Isaac Washington, bartender *Lauren Tewes as Julie McCoy, Cruise Director (Seasons 1-7) *Jill Whelan as Vicki Stubing, the captain's daughter (seasons 3–10) *Ted McGinley as Ashley "Ace" Covington Evans, ship's photographer (seasons 7–10) *Pat Klous as Judy McCoy, Julie's sister and successor as cruise director (seasons 8–9) Gavin MacLeod, Bernie Kopell, and Ted Lange are the only cast members to appear in every episode of the series, including the last three made-for-TV movies. Fred Grandy was in every episode throughout the run of the series, but was not in the last of the TV movies. MacLeod was not the captain in the first two TV movies, however. The viewers are told in ''Love Boat II'' that Gopher, Doc, Isaac, and the captain served together in Vietnam, but no reference to this is ever made to their shared history again. (Note this is in conflict with episode 2-18 where Gopher says he only served in the Army Finance corps at Fort Knox, Kentucky and never went to Vietnam) However, when MacLeod's character was introduced, there was mention of him being "the new captain." Among the series' attractions was the casting of well-known actors in guest-starring roles, with many famous film stars of yesteryear making rare television appearances. It was not the first comedy series to use the guest-star cast anthology format—''Love, American Style'' used the formula seven years earlier, but ''The Love Boat'' had such success with the formula that future shows in similar style (such as ''Supertrain'' and ''Masquerade'') were inevitably compared to ''The Love Boat''. The show was followed on Saturday nights on ABC by ''Fantasy Island'', which was also produced by Aaron Spelling, and had a similar format. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Love Boat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
