LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE - Love and the Proposal

Air Date/Released Monday, January 5, 1970
Station/Studio ABC / Paramount Studios
Featuring Joe Besser (Solo)

A one-hour comedy anthology series, each episode featured three to four playlets, all dealing in the subject of love. Short comedy blackout sequences, starring a regular roster of actors including Bernie Kopell, Stuart Margolin, Tracy Reed and James Hampton, were interspersed between the playlets.

A chronic marriage proposer, with the help of his best friend, concocts an elaborate lie to escape his latest engagement. He hires an actress (Joan Van Ark) to pose as his wife, a woman lost and presumed dead for two years in the wilderness on their honeymoon camping trip.


The show was syndicated in a re-edited 1/2-hour format, which is how it is usually seen on television; home video releases are the original 1-hour format.

Cast: Warren Berlinger (Harold), Joan Hackett (Linda), Ron Harper (Vic), Joan Van Ark (Helen, aka 'Betty Jane'), Joe Besser (Man in restaurant)

Crew: Jim Parker, Arnold Margolin (Executive Producers), William P. D'Angelo (Producer), Richard Michaels (Director), Dale Evans (Writer)
