Where to start with The Love Boat

An anthology, so there is no order and no continuity to protect. Any episode works as a first, and the only thing worth planning is whether you want the pilots and the specials at all.

  1. 1
    The series, from season 1 The Love Boat

    Two hundred and forty-five instalments, each carrying two or three unconnected passenger stories. The regular crew is the only thread.

  2. 2
    The three pilots, if you want them The Love Boat

    Two two-hour films and a ninety-minute one across 1976 and 1977, all anthologies like the series.

  3. 3
    The three specials and the 1990 reunion film The Shipshape Cruise

    1986 to 1990, in that order. The 1987 special is often treated as the real ending.

  4. 4
    Love Boat: The Next Wave Love Boat: The Next Wave

    Twenty-five episodes twelve years later. It works cold, except for the reunion episode, which only lands if you watched the original.

Then what? Nothing else. If your streaming service shows a season ten, that is a database convention for the post-series specials rather than a real season.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
