Love American Style - Season 1, Vol. 2
F**D
It is not BLU-RAY but a DVD
I got this because I remember it when I was much younger. It is basically 1969 and 1970. Old actors and most are long gone. It is a DVD but if you are running it on the 4K player or TV. it is nicely formatted to the new Screen size and looks good, not grainy. I am pleased. Then it was risky but today's standards naive.

Happy Buyer
This dvd is first class. The picture quality is great. I don't have much memory of the original airings, but I do remember seeing it always on a black and white set. It was part of an excellent Friday night line-up that started at 7:00 pm CST with The Brady Bunch, then The Partridge Family. Eight o'clock had Room 222, then The Odd Couple. At nine it was Love American Style. This was a lot of Tv for a 7-10 year old, but it was Friday, so no school the next two days. It was slightly raunchy for it's day, so my parents always liked seeing it. The only thing about these releases is the packaging. Paramount could have let us have the slim-line cases. Nevertheless, I'll live with this packaging. Please bring more seasons, but make them affordable by not splitting up the sets into two volumes.

Where are the last 3 seasons on DVD?
Great show but volumes 1&2 only go up to 1970. What happen to 1971 to 1974 shows, can't find them anywhere.

Excellent!
Great quality video.....Just know that each video has a video back side. I got sooooo many episodes for this small price.So many actors and actresses I had not seen in a long time. Remember Mr. Miyagi's GF in the Karate Kid Part III? She's in this when she was young.

a groovy bust on american love
this show is a bit dated now, but was definitely a show for its time. the attitudes reflected here are old-fashioned and the humor sometimes corny or campy....but in between it all there were some great skits that mirrored our changing, dynamic culture in the psychedelic era of '69-'70, when these episodes originally aired. this hour-long comedy show tried to be a little spicy and push the envelope a bit, but they were still hampered by the over-zealous censorship of the time. for instance, in the episode where a new groom accidentally locks himself in a chastity belt on his wedding night, they never actually say the phrase "chastity belt", even though that's obviously what it is. i mean, seriously??? you couldn't say 'chastity belt' on the air back then??? still, i remember watching this show when i was a kid, and i loved it. and it was great to relive this show and the times and attitudes it brings back. usually 3, sometimes 2 short plays an episode, with some short, corny jokes reflecting tv comedy at the time thrown in between the plays for a cheap laugh. having to deal with the sexual revolution while holding on to the values of how 'good girls' were supposed to behave at the time....balancing the values of the old while poking at the hip, mod generation....and all in good fun! sure, it's outdated now, and anyone who wasn't around at the time probably won't get it. but it's a great piece of nostalgia, and a reminder of a wonderful era that will never come back to us off screen. the little plays were reasonably well-written for tv at the time....warm, humorous and even sometimes insightful. the jokes in between showing you were about to go into or come out of a commercial break were corny, laugh-in style spoofs indicitive of the times......and seeing all the stars of the day was a sheer delight! people like bob denver, jim baccus, forrest tucker, adam west, burt reynolds, tony randall, wally cox, don grady, kurt russell, greg morris, paul lynde, kaye ballard, carolynn jones, nanette fabray, suzanne pleshette, vivian vance, penny marshall, joey heatherton, julie newmar, and the gorgeous carol wayne.......and so many more than i can remember off the top of my head......and even stuart margolin (i assume he's brother of the show's producer, arnold margolin) but stuart would later become famous in the show 'the rockford files'.anyway, like i said.....anyone who wasn't around at the time probably won't get it.....but if you were watching tv in '69, you owe it to yourself to relive this hip, funny, psychedelic, love-injected blast from the past. it's sweet living!

Love 70's Style
Cute segments about love in the 70's. Love the clothes, setting and different story lines. Much simpler times and makes me yearn for the good ol' days.

The nostalgic memories of the "Peace and Love" generation are well activated.......
The sexual revolution was in it's Heyday, and with great innocence and goodhumor this TV series attempted to portray the social changes that were rapidlyoccurring. Using the fame and personas of the most popular TV Stars of thisera to promote itself, it thus became a time capsule for what we liked and wished forduring this era of Mini A-GoGo, Bell Bottoms, shaggy hair and all things GROOVEY !Great fun, good scripts, great casts and high quality production.

Love it!
Love American style is one of the funniest, most creative, well thought out, and shear fun shows of the early 70's or anytime. There was a reason that the show starred so many high quality stars of the time (and even now). Its simply a great show and i cant wait for more, more, more! Smart, funny, cant miss, these are some of the catch phrases i would used. Been waiting for a long time for this release and so glad it came along!
