Love, American Style-Brett Somers-Jack Klugman-Charles Nelson Reilly

[@michellepost5232]

I grew up watching Love American Style, and loved it. It was brilliant and funny. Many of the cast members in each story segment were famous TV stars of the 1960s and early 1970s. It was on every Friday evening. Many Tv shows were awesome from 1960-1989.

[@recordsrob]

Yep. It was part of my Friday line-up, too. It never failed to entertain me.

[@glennhoddle10]

You summed it perfectly . TV really had it's golden era in the 60s, 70s & 80s without a doubt.

[@evonza4858]

Me too 🥰👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

As a kid we all believe in magic and wonder. So shows from that era take us back to that lovely time.

Wow...brings back a lot of memories watching tv back then.

[@jthoen61]

Thanks for the memories. I loved the show. Watched it all the time.

[@rawallday1021]

Oh my goodness I love this, and I miss you all on match game.rest in peace all of you.

[@recordsrob]

Jack was born and raised close to where I live. So was Norman Fell, in the same block. Hmm. Think the milkman was involved? Always loved both Jack and Brett.

Brett Somers is so good in this; I wish she was in more flicks!

[@thejupiter2574]

Sigh. Just hearing the music theme again reminds me of my childhood watching this show with my family every week as a kid. The whole TV show line up each week and this show my a favorite because of all the guest stars. 100 X better than The Love Boat ever was.

[@angelmelendez9137]

I couldn't wait for Friday nights. Loved the lineup too. At 8pm it started with The Brady Bunch, at 8:30 The Partridge Family, at 9 Room 222, at 9:30 The Odd Couple and at 10 Love American Style (1971-1972)

[@TheSonjaxfactor]

The Dark Angel Same here! It really takes me back!

[@lorimiller4301]

I liked this show but loved the Love Boat and at 10 was Fantasy Island. That's about all I remember being on on Saturday nights. Loved the Odd Couple too.

[@recordsrob]

Thank you for the nice comment. Look for a re-uploaded version on my page. It's a direct, clearer copy. God Bless and you stay safe as well.

[@mapleleaf0]

The first sketch was sweet because this must have been when Jack and Brett were still married. And with Charles Nelson Reilly on, it's like a Match Game reunion.

[@recordsrob]

Sometime after the show was syndicated, or when it was, someone put these two sketches in the same episode. It wasn't originally broadcast like this, but it would have been great.

[@mapleleaf0]

@@recordsrob OK, that makes sense. Thanks for the info.

[@MDCSWildcats86]

Jack and Brett never really divorced, they just separated in the mid-1970s. Their marriage officially ended when she died in 2007.

[@putinthegreatone1055]

Jack and Brett never divorced, she died at her and Jack's home in Connecticut from cancer in 07 www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/brett-somers-obituary?pid=178148241

[@WaltGekko]

@@recordsrob Yeah. After the original one-hour editions of "Love, American Style" aired in syndication, sometime in the '70s they remade them into shows to fit a half-hour that made them more friendly for local stations (and also doubled the number of available episodes).

[@sierria64]

oh i remember sitting on floor in Chicago looking at this show

[@jenny2shoes543]

Love American Style is definitely one of my favourite, main core memories, growing up. I can remember giggling while watching it with my parents. Most of the adult insinuating sexual innuendos were above my head as I was that young watching it. I would giggle when everyone else would giggle and mom would ask me if I knew what they meant or what the reference was referring to in the skit. Most of the time, I was not aware .....but there were also times I played dumb just to save the embarrassment of watching something so risque with my dad in the room. 😘🤐

[@Jiltedin2007]

Love the Match Game connection in this episode. Brett Sommers and Her Husband(Jack Klugman) along with Charles Nelson-Reilly? AWESOME!

[@recordsrob]

Actually, that connection was made during syndication. It originally did not air this way. It was good thinking on the Syndication co.

[@AstralPixie]

Match Game --- Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly!

[@zxccxz164]

i think this aired before they paired up on the match game

[@recordsrob]

This is a combination of two different shows put together for syndication. It never aired this way originally, but it would have been cool.

[@WaltGekko]

@@zxccxz164 These were before. Love American Style aired through the 1972-'73 TV season. The classic version of "Match Game" premiered later in '73. I wonder if Brett and Charles ever appeared together on the original "Match Game" (on NBC from Dec. 31, 1962-1969).

[@billbill5326]

Thanks for this! ❤

Klugman:”How did you know her name was Delores ?” Somers:”One night you brought home her bowling ball by mistake.”

[@LogoAttitude]

Jack Klugman was best known at the time of this episode's original airing for appearing on another Paramount series, The Odd Couple

[@WinslowLeach1974]

That's what I think, too! I think that IS Sandra Gould!

@@bluecollarlit The closing credits confirm that she was Sandra Gould.

Patsy Garrett, who was later often seen in Purina Cat Chow commercials, played the nosy neighbor for Nanny.
