  • wow, like everyone in this episode is dead....all of them...some died way too early too

  • Gail Fisher was also appearing, as a regular, on CBS' Mannix.

  • That's not from 1969. It's from after 1969.

  • @denny906 To put it technically, THIS is the syndication edit! The half-hour mix-downs were first shown on daytime TV in 1971, hence the season 2 credit sequence. It's great to see this show back on TV; just a bit miffed that they jumbled the eps a bit and abandoned the Cowsills version of the theme. This edition, for instance, has one of the 11-minute shorts from the very first episode (Love and the Hustler) combined with an 11-minute story from season 2 (Love and the Old Boyfriend).

  • One of my favorite TV shows as a child!

  • OK wait, 1969? i was..3! but i remember it! also loved DARK SHADOWS, just so weird it was on during the day...

  • @crittertv Dark Shadows is a good one. Denise Nickerson of Willie Wonka and Chocolate Factory was on that!

    I watched it as a child with my sister. She was hooked on Dark Shadows and Barnabas Collins.

  • Anyone know where to find the Sandy Duncan show? I would like to see that.

  • You guys are right, these were the simple good old days of entertainment. These were good shows with good stories. I remember Friday night too and loved Bewitched and the Partridge Family. I can remember sitting and watching those episodes as a kid. Great memories.

  • Man, Strother Martin looked like hell in the opening.

  • I have a feeling this is the syndication edit.

  • Uncle Milty can piss up a rope! He was never funny ever!

  • oh yeah, I remember this show and dam if it does not bring a fine memory of that 1st unsure kiss, embrace and wondering what the hell was happening.

  • why the hell did you cut it off?

  • I think Uncle Milty looks like the kid on A Christmas Story. You'll shoot your eye out kid!

  • I was only 12 during its first season (1969-70). Unfortunately my mother never allowed me to watch this show because there were things in there they went against the teachings of the Catholic Church; especialy when it comes to sex, marriage, family, and relationships.

  • I was 3 when this show aired.

  • Uncle Miltie and Connie Hines' former co-star Mr. Ed had something in common.....

  • @wdc2998 yes and you actually sucked both Mr Ed and Uncle Milties big 15 inch dicks didnt you fucknuts?

  • Sadly,Ms.Connie Hines..the last surviving guest cast member of this installment of"Love American Style!"is gone..(Crying)Goodbye Connie!

  • That Gail Fisher was attractive! I have grown more fond in every way of black women!

  • I was watching "Teenage Pregnant Lesbian Vampire Mom's" on TV tonight. Then I saw this clip....

    Are we going backward or forwards as a society...

    My brother stays drunk most of the time because he cannot handle the modern sickness of society...

  • Does anyone have access to the original Seasons 2-4 theme song (NOT the Cowsills version), with the single screaming firework exploding (visually only) after "Looove, love" and then the short skit, followed by the main theme, which, after the "LAS" logo, was followed by "Tonight Starring"? ("Starring" was shoved in there for the daytime reruns.) Would really love to see this restored version.

  • Right after school, grab a snack, slide on the carpet, click it on. 

  • Even though i was just a kid when this show was on i really liked it for some reason.

  • WOW another flashback !! I remember watching this , I was like 8 then LOL !

  • From the days when terrorism and the evils of the world (such as the reality shows and sex-drenched garbage we see nowadays) were so far away! Give me back those days, please...when music and TV really rocked! I remember watching this on the ABC outlet, WLS_TV from Chicago.

  • super American cheese. gotta love it

  • An episode from this show later became the hit show "Happy Days".

  • Even as a kid, I thought this show was corny beyond belief, in spite of a cool theme and youth attitude. Milton Berle?

  • when strother martin died the new york times had the following headline for his obituary..."MOVIE SCUM STROTHER MARTIN DIES"....

    NO SHIT..that was the headline....fucking pricks....

  • @StraightTwoDVD - I have no idea where you heard this, but your two posts on YouTube with this claim are the only places it appears in any Google search. The NYT headline reads, "Strother Martin, Actor In Western Movies And 'Luke' Warden."

  • @tejaswoman

    i give u my word...thats what appeared in paper that day...

    ps- i worked with stuart margolin a few years ago...there was richard gere with us too...but i was more excited to shoot the breeze with stu

  • @StraightTwoDVD And I'm telling you, I looked up the actual newspaper from that day, and what you quoted doesn't appear. At all.

  • @tejaswoman

    how did u look up the actual newspaper article from that day? ..because i want to see your proof...so please provide the web address... i want to see the actual newspaper from that day...because the headline was "strother martin, movie scum, dies"...so send me the web address...if you saw the actual paper it would show it said that.....

  • The ABC line up on Friday nights, I don't think anyone atleast anyone my age at the time (12 or 13) was no where but in front of the TV! Our week-ends didn't start until 8 PM that started with the Brady Bunch and ended with Love American Style, this was considered an adult show at the time. Red, white and blue VOTE tang tops, leather wrist watches, every movie had a double feature, Sunday matinee's where $1.00 or 1.25. Yep those where the good old days!

  • this show was not a very good one. It promoted cheating on your wife or husband!

    sleeping around was the norm, why not be modest and love your God. God wants the best for you. when you see things like this , think about the effects it has on you and your spouse and your children. It may be a small seed that is planted , but it can take root and grow, and more seeds are planted by other worldly shows. Be immersed in God, Read your Bible, Pray to the Father in the name of Jesus, go to Church.

  • Blow it out your ass ighforever

  • @ighforever It was a t.v. show, dumbass!! Stuff your bible and fairy tale jeebus.

  • @castletriglav people are influenced by what is around them, be it good or evil. If we dont have a teacher to show us the way, then we can fall prey to whatever comes along. Jesus is that teacher, he really cares about us and wants to give us his peace. He is your best friend Jesus will never hurt you nor use you, he will always be there for you whenever you are in need, even when you just wanna talk about anything.

    e-sword . com has a Free Bible download, check it out.

    Jesus is Lord of all.

  • Connie Hines RIP. Passed away a few days ago.

  • was that mrs ed???

  • Great Cast for that one.

  • Off all of these people only Connie Hines still alive. All the rest are gone.

  • She just died. She was a beautiful woman.

  • Sadly, Only Season 1 has been released on DVD so far.

    However, if you'd like to see more seasons of LAS released, please enter "Love American Style Petition" into google so you can visit the petition site and add your name!

  • Very witty talented writers, and some good actors that graced these skits. Surprised the show has not been updated and released again with present day actors. I gave a brother of mine a DVD of season 1 and he loved it.

  • I heard that Connie Hines could deep throat better than LindaLovelaceever dreamed of,and that backstage during the filming of this episode took all twelve inches of Milton Berle "Down the hatch".

  • cum, on be nice

  • Here Come da Judge!

  • WRong show , that line was from Rowan & Martin's LAUGH IN

  • Don't ever trust anyone named Jeff Fisher.

  • WOW,it's 1950's Alabama in here!

  • Dropped in on this clip and literally LMFAO that an old sitcom intro could draw such racism, sexism and anti-semitism all in just a few comments. Amazing how much hate is out there. Gotta love it.

  • Great show,I watched it every week.

  • Wow...seems I stumbled onto a racist, homophobic site...sorry...I'll be leaving now....

  • You suck my cock?

  • wow....umm a bit resentful?? Did you lose a girlfriend or wife to a black guy? Something happened to you to show such hatred on a you tube about a 70's sitcom. Take a nice drink and relax man...your bigotry is a little overkill dont you think?

  • I like you!

  • With the exception of Miss Connie Hines..the other

    actors..who appeared on this installment of Love American

    Style are gone.

  • One of the best TV theme songs of all time!!!

  • Love the good old days of ABC. Wish they brought back that whole lineup from that night. Betcha they would have a ratings hit with all ages! It's funny looking back at L-A-S, because I was sent out of the room and off to bed at 10 o'clock. It was considered by my parents to be "too adult" for a little kid! Ah, the good old days!

  • If you remember when this use to come on at 10:00pm... YOU'RE OLD!!!lol I guess that goes for me too!!

  • I was 12 when this show premiered. I loved it and all the Friday night line up on ABC. Great shows back then.

  • That means unlike so many of us, you were at least old enough for your parents to let you stay up to watch it. ;-)

  • Well, I was pretty much conked out by 10. It was not a school night and the shows were good family entertainment. My dad and I would get a big blue bowl of popcorn and lay on the floor in front of the tv and watch together. This is a fond memory from my younger days.

  • Sounds like a great memory, lucky you!  Hope your Dad remembers too.

  • You can now go to Amazon and sign up to be notified by email when Season 2, Vol. 1 is released.

    Though a half season release is better than nothing, I don't see the necessity for splitting up the second season the same way as Season 1, particularly since the show was cut back to a half hour for the first half of Season 2.

  • this was the hip and groovy show back then

  • lots of memories

  • Wonderful memories of the ABC Friday Night

    line: The Brady Bunch (8:00 PM) The Partridge Family (8:30 PM) Room 222 (9:00 PM)  The Odd Couple (9:30 PM) Love American Style (10:00 PM)

    Thanks for the posting !

  • @Classic63 I was just a little squirt in 1970 but I can somewhat remember the tv schedule then. I miss those days. I loved watching HR Puff N Stuff, Lidsville, Bugaloos, Jackson Five, Archies, Sabrina the Teenage Witch (the original not Melissa Joan hart),Fat Albert,Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour,Make A wish, Very Important Person,Romper Room,Sesame Street,Mr Rogers, Electric Company, Villa Alegre and many wonderful shows.

  • @Classic63

    Nice of you to post the whole line up. Those shows did bring a lot to look forward to on a friday night. Our family watched all of these shows every friday night it was such a happy time thing to do. School was done for the week, everyone mellowed into the comfort zone of this line up. Thanks for the good memories forgotten, when we look back at this we can remember how we'd say "Thank God it's Friday."

  • @Classic63 -Great memory! Yes I remember that line up. Was that around 1970? I remember the big change in 73 when at 8:00pm it was the Six Million Dollar Man. Those were the days.

  • @Classic63 love all those shows back then. I have Doris Day on DVD, Partridge Family, Sabrina the Teenage Witch (the original Filmation cartoon). I am collecting many of the good shows then. I remember when those shows permeated the TV screens. I remember there was no cable tv then until about 79/80. HBO came out about then. That's when cable got more popular.

  • Damn this brings back delightful memories of being a young child.

  • And what better way to introduce a new show than to headline it with a couple of time-honored comic performers, Berle and Rochester! There was plenty of tiffany in network TV back then, it wasn't just CBS!

  • Good grief at the now well known stars. Dustin Hoffman, Bob Denver, Ron Howard, and many more.

  • I showed this to my mom the other night, and it made her cry. Then she went on to explain that to her, these were the good old days, right about the time she graduated from college and married my dad. Come to find out, this was their favorite show and they watched it together every Friday night. My dad died in 1976. She then went out and bought the whole set. Thanks for posting this. Brought a widow some good memories.

  • To BHKIDD,

    Very sweet story. Sorry about your dad's untimely death but that was sweet that your mom was so touched by you showing her this video.

    This show also was one of my wife's favorites and I even liked it when I was a kid and watched it in re-runs on tv in the 70's.

  • @bhkidd Yes, for those of us that were kids then those were the great old days!

  • @bhkidd I sort of get teary myself because even though I mostly remember the show in reruns in the mid-1970's there is a "those were the good old days" moment when I see this ... Gail Fisher does look hot

  • @bhkidd Awww. Sad and sweet. :)

  • @bhkidd Geez.... that just got me chocked up

  • I can remember this being shown as a filler on Scottish television when I was a kid. At that time I misinterpreted the title as meaning "Have a very strong liking for the American way of life".

  • does anyone have "love and the eats cafe"

  • Ach, you cut the song off!!! I guess they were trying to blend patriotism with the Love Generation. You know, "Happy Days" was spun off from this show.

  • milton berle - the human kickstand.

  • THIS SONG ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Milton Berle was a shmuck!

  • oh my goodness im little again

  • Strother Martin OWNS YOU ALL!!

  • He was The Captain on the 1967 Classic film "Cool Hand Luke" who delivered that famous line "What We Got Here Is A Failure To Communicate". Before he got into acting he was a swimming instructor. He is greatly missed.

  • One of his briefest yet greatest roles was that of Chong's pissed-off dad in 'Up In Smoke'.

    "You get a g*ddamn job before sundown, or we're shippin' you off to military school with that g*ddamn FINKLESTEIN shit kid! ...sonofa-BITCH!!"

  • Why'd you cut it off before it ended?

  • I didn't know Rochester ever did anything without Jack Benny. Cool

  • He also starred in the Vincent Minelli musical "Cabin In the Sky" and sang with Ethel Waters!

  • Gail Fisher?

    was she the secretary in Mannix?

    Just wondering

  • Yes she was Joe Mannix's secratary. Her name was Paggy Fair. Joe knew Peggy's husband from the same Army outfit during the Korean War.

  • did they ever have an episode with the following actors:phil silvers, charles nelson reilly and don knotts in a romantic tryst?? now that would have been love american style indeed.

  • lol

  • Connie Hines really let her hair puff out between the few years of the Mister Ed finale ('65 or '66) and the airing of this Love American Style epiosode.

  • I remember getting my first pair of glasses back then...... Dr. Bleiberg was his name.

  • I always loved this theme song...

  • I liked The Charles Fox Singers' version better than the Cowsills...DEFINATELY...the Cowsills version almost seemed to not follow the music beat...if you listen closely.

  • I bought the dvd of season 1 and this episode (101) on the dvd was different (no Milton Berle) on disk 1 and the theme music was the Cowsills version...how odd that this one is different than the released dvd version!

  • Not to worry, qtpi1969. This is because the above video was taken from the half hour, daytime rerun version of LAS, which carried the Charles Fox Singers' version of the theme song, only heard from season 2 forward in the prime time, hour long versions, which is what is on the DVD. The Cowsills' version is the first season original.

  • Qtpi, the varying lengths of the original segments as they appeared in their prime time hour versions necessitated some juggling around when they were rerun for the daytime, half hour editions. All hour long shows featured at least 2, and sometimes as many as 5 separate stories. At least I don't recall any instances where an hour long show contained 6 segments, or just one.

  • Thanks for the info. Now that I am recalling watching the shows on tv (in the mid-80's reruns), it did seem some editing had been done to the eps. I am renting the dvd's from Netflix now and am happy to know that the eps will be on in their entirety on the disks. Do you have any info on Season 2's release as yet? Or do you know of any cable stations running the later eps at this time?

    Thanks for the help!

    Shelly

  • What a blast to the past! I can remember wanting to get married in hot pants because of this show lol...no, I didn't do that!

  • I could never understand why this show was never added to TVland.

  • Hilarious. Me too. I always remember going up the steps to bed as the theme played.

  • It's interesting how they put different segments together...I'm guessing for syndication.  Since the Rochester/Flip/Gail Fisher story is in the very first episode with the original Cowsills version of the song on the DVD set.

  • Man this show was always a bummer for me. Why? Because it meant bedtime! As soon as it would start, I'd be sent to bed. LOL

  • Thats halarious,me too.I just thought that it was to risque for me to watch.That show was like the forbidden fruit for me as a kid.

  • as soon as this vid started, I started to sing it and knew every word lol

  • This feels like a million years ago...

  • Love, American Style Theme Lyrics (Theme by Charles Fox and Arnold Margolin) - Love, American Style Lyrics Love, Love, Love Love, American Style, Truer than the Red, White and Blue. Love, American Style, That's me and you. And on a star spangled night my love, (My love come to me). You can rest you head on my shoulder. Out by the dawn's early light, my love I will defend your right to try. Love, American Style, That's me and you.
  • I loved that show. What's the first line? - "something something the red, white and blue who who who!" Never could figure that out. lol Thanks.

  • All I can say is - groovy.

  • Ms.Connie Hines..Who appears on this

    installment of "LAS"was "Mrs.Carol Post"

    on "The Mr.Ed TV Show".

  • Wow! I did watch this every Friday night....weren't the Brady Bunch and Partridge Family on right before it also on ABC?

  • I think you are right. The LAStyle song sounds like it's sung by the Partridge Family (aka Charles Fox singers)!!! This was such a wonderful, fast-paced show.

  • Theme Was Sung By The Cowsills

  • This version of the theme is by the Bahler Brothers, with Ron Hicklin. They were the Charles Fox singers, Ray Coniff singers, and the Partridge Family backup, and a thousand other names and songs. Just Google 'em.

  • Don't forget about Jackie Ward, too!

  • Can't believe The Cowsills did this song. Great show and great memories. Thanks for posting!!

  • But this is not them, here :(

  • You know it was so diferent those friday nights the bioinic man some game show love american style, Carol Brunnete, Brady Bunch, Wonder women and Saturday mornings were even better love those days they where great but what about r kids ?

  • i really missed not seeing this we r the same people bless u all good and bad memories.

  • Where would I able to find the "long version" of the ending theme song that was aired on Friday nights? There was also a different version played when ABC ran the temporary "1/2 hr" Friday night episodes, before returning to the full hour. Whether it's on this site, or some other, would somebody out there be able to furnish me with this information? Thank you.

  • Luvthoseclips, the 1st half of season 1 will be released on DVD this November. These should have the original length closer. Version #2 was used during the 3rd season & heard when TV Land aired 1 of those hour long eps around 10 years ago.

  • Luvthoseslips, if LAS sells well on DVD, then hopefully the entire series will be out on DVD eventually. The only way to hear the second closing theme, unfortunately.

  • Thank you.....DO appreciate your feedback!

  • Milton Berle was in this show!? He supposedly had a long dong boing! (_)///////D

  • I loved watching this series!!!!

  • I always waited for a sex scene in "Love American Style", but it never came... I was so disappointed!

  • Just like real life.

  • look who's talking

  • It's Photografr7!!!

  • cowsills

  • I loved this show when it originally aired. The song just makes you feel good. The singing group sounds like the Partridge Family without Keith and Shirley! I was in denial that the rest of the PF were not really singing and playing their instruments. Thanks for posting LAStyle.

  • I believe she was the first black actress to win an Emmy Award for a drama series (for her work as Peggy in "Mannix," of course!)

  • The Cowsills sang the theme for the show's first season, and were replaced by the "Charles Fox Singers" for the rest of the run. This is not the Cowsills version of the theme - Paramount replaced it with the Charles Fox version in syndication.

  • It does sound like the Cowsills, but I'd be shocked if it really was! They were at the top in 1969

  • Was the theme song sang by the Cowsills?

  • It was the" Association" that sang that song.

  • No. This was the Cowsills.

  • Yes. Cowsills sang this song

  • I noticed something about CBSParamount in the 60's & 70's-they always took care of their stars. Look how many appeared on other CBSParamount shows as well as their own shows.

  • The fireworks represent goodfun sex.

  • brought to you by....oscar mayer LOL

  • Great memeories about the show.

  • *sigh* makes me feel so good to think about it. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yayuhhhhhhhh!!

  • I made love to Strother Martin.  He entered me repeatedly.

  • Strother Martin? "What we have here is failure to communicate".

  • Sure wish someone had a copy of this show with Gail Fisher.

  • Gail Fisher played girl Friday Peggy to Joe Mannix on "Mannix". She was HOT.

  • I know She was one of My good Friends two years before she passed away in 2000.She was my neighbor and friend i saw the Love American style with her on her vhs copy and of course Mannix.I was wondering if anyone had a copy of Her love American Style on vhs.I would love to see it again.Mannix was the bomb.

  • I googled both Love American Style and Mannix for DVD's. It looks like there are some VHS tapes around for individual episodes, but I'm not seeing any full season sets. Keep lookin!
