The Love Boat is an American television series set on a cruise ship, which aired on the ABC Television Network from 1977 until 1986. It was part of ABC's Saturday night "one-two punch" along with Fantasy Island, until the latter 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, respectively) 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 to the 1980s. The sitcom was usually set aboard a cruise liner called the Pacific Princess, whose passengers and crew had romantic and funny adventures every week. Other ships used were twin sister Island Princess, the Stella Solaris (for a Mediterranean cruise), Pearl of Scandinavia (for a Chinese cruise), the Royal Viking Sky (for European cruises) and the Royal Princess (for a Caribbean cruise).

It got boned when Lauren Tewes left the show in 1984. Thankfully she reappeared for the 1985 guest starring role and both 1986 & 1987 specials as the regular.

I also voted for never boned. How anyone could hate Vicki is a mystery. Ted McGinley joining the cast would seem to be more of a jump the shark reason than Vicki, but I didn't mind him.
