Love American Style

**Love American Style** is an anthology comedy television series produced by Paramount Television. It ran 108 episodes from 29 September 1969 through 11
January 1974.

## Summary

Unrelated stories of romance, usually with a comedic spin, featured various characters, stories, and locations, often with the same actors playing different characters in many episodes. Short gags performed by a house troupe that featured Stuart Margolin, Phyllis Davis, and James Hampton allowed the show to be padded to the required length.

## Theme Song

For the first season, the show's theme song was performed by The Cowsills. Beginning in the second season, the same theme song was sung by the Ron Hicklin Singers.

## Sequel

*New Love American Style* ran forty-one episodes from 1985 through 1986. A pilot for a third incarnation aired 20 February 1999 on ABC, but a series was not ordered.
