@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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
@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."
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.
@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.

As a kid in the 1970s, I watched TONS of syndicated reruns of classic tv shows. But LAS wasnt one of them. The reason? The story lines, dealing with love, adult relationships, romance, etc., went WAY over my young head. However, that aside, I LOVED the opening theme song. Many is the time that when LAS came on, Id watch the opening theme, then change the channel to my shows that was opposite it. Decades pass, they release LAS episodes on DVD. I finally watch it as an adult & loving it.
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".
Spread the word. I never got to the Cigar Store. 3 movie producers from France, Switzerland & Romania talked with me.
They gave me two great cigars that cost over $150. They made me smoke them both in 20 minutes so I could puke for the movie camera. They advertise in High Times Magazine,Sports Illustrated & The Guardian.
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.
Whats the matter you dont like hearing the truth-how many niggers you know go to a Michael Buble or Harry Conick concert?I bet you don't know who these White singers are. How many Elvis Presley CDs you have?I bet none.You and your race are the pieces of shit not me and my race.I simply tell the truth and niggers dont like to hear it.Its funny how the White race can listen to a nigger singer and yet the nigger race never goes to a Buble or Conick concert or ever went to a Presley concert.
Well Blubba-ditty. Are you fat and resemble the nigger Sean Combs? Anyway, niggers don't have cocks. Like donkeys and horses don't have cocks. White, Asians, Hispanics all have cocks-niggers don't' have cocks. We think the nigger is of the animal. Having extremely large features like the animal. Long legs and arms,tremendous jaw bones, large swollen lips, large penis'. large noses. And like the animal kingdom that primarily depends on it's ability to smell and not hear-very small ears.
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?
Where was my resentment. I simply made a statement that rappers actually state in their lyrics while they rap. What do you mean lose a girlfriend or wife to a nigger?

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!
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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!
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.
@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
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".
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.
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.
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand sorry for da spam
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.
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 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?
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.
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 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.
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.
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 ?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
wow, like everyone in this episode is dead....all of them...some died way too early too

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand sorry for da spam

qtpi1969 4 years ago 2
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!
qtpi1969 4 years ago
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.
ajbalfour 4 years ago
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.
ajbalfour 4 years ago
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!

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.

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.

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.
