Love, American Style Plot Summary

Love, American Style entertained viewers with stories about common people finding love in all walks of life. In this anthology series, each hour-long broadcast consisted of a group of vignettes, aired sequentially and separately and each with an introductory title card. Normally there were three or four vignettes to a show, although occasionally there were as few as one or as many as five.

Short blackout skits would be shown in between segments whenever time allowed. The skits featured a recurring cast of players which included James Hampton, best known as Hannibal Dobbs from F Troop, and veteran character actor Stuart Margolin, brother of executive producer Arnold Margolin. The syndication rerun package consisted of 30-minute broadcasts that were edited from the original hour-long broadcasts, except for those which aired in the first half of season 2, which ran in a 30-minute time slot.

The show never ranked above #25 in the Nielsen Ratings.

There was a short-lived revival in 1986 called The New Love, American Style, which aired on ABC's daytime schedule.

One of the segments, "Love and the Happy Days," spawned a successful spin-off series, Happy Days.
