Was considered "risque" when it first aired and was slotted for the 10pm EST slot on Friday nights.
By the 1971 Fall season, it was capping an impressive block of Friday night programming (The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, Room 222, The Odd Couple, Love American Style).
It gave work to journeyman actors like Stuart Margolin (Rockford Files) and James Hampton (The Longest Yard/Teen Wolf). It was also a place for aging movie stars and sitcom child actors to put in a few extra TV appearances (predating the Love Boat).
It was "the place where failed TV pilots go to die" (- Garry Marshall). Happy Days and Wait Till Your Father Gets Home both aired their pilot episodes on Love American Style.
The Cowsills' version of the theme song was replaced after the first season by stock singers.
"Risque" as it was deemed, it was put out in syndicated form in the mid 70's and ran in daytime and in the afternoon after-school time slot in a lot of markets. It ran as an hour show in some seasons on ABC, but all episodes were cut down to a half hour for syndication.
