In the almost 40 years since, there have been dozens of couples who keep us glued to our screens.

The decade-long success of this series indicates the thirst audiences have for love stories. Love, life’s sweetest reward.” From 1977 to 1987, “The Love Boat” offered a new adventure each week, with couples finding romance aboard the cruise ship.
