No, this wasn't meant to be high art. Shakespeare would have never been considered to write an episode of THE LOVE BOAT.
What this series intended - and accomplished for 10 seasons! - was to be entertaining. It showed beautiful people in beautiful locations, with a bit of cheeky humor added to the mix.
And it did so over 250 episodes, usually with 3 stories per episode! The amount of creativity and talent involved in this show is still impressive now, in the age of 6 episode seasons.
Every starlet of the time played a part on this show, and it was a joy seeing them having fun with their craft.
Some people may find the series crude and forgettable, but I think it helped change the world one smile at a time.
