📺 Marathon May 27-30, 2022 on DECADES channel 📡


It was a 30-minute anthology romantic comedy series in color, which ran for five seasons 1969-1974. Not available On Demand. Unlike The Love Boat, this focused more on tame comedy and romance, with less drama. There were seven Love American Style Players, including Stuart Margolin, who did very short comedy bits (10-60 seconds) between the stories. The actors/actresses were mostly from American TV series and a few supporting performers from movies.

Where I am, the Chicago company that produces MeTV recently acquired a local over-the-air network. With the extra digital channels, they continued MeTV and added channels for DECADES, MeTV+, and Story, all also available on Xfinity/Comcast cable.

This show is where Happy Days started. The pilot episode, if you will.

It was Season 3 Episode 22, Love and the Happy Days/Love and the Newscasters (Feb 25, 1972). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0637037/?ref_=tt_trv_trv

It was already shown in this marathon, but I did not see it.
