History Series / LoveAmericanStyle

* TitleThemeTune: Performed by Music/TheCowsills in the first season, and by the Ron Hicklin Singers (backing vocalists for Series/ThePartridgeFamily) from season 2 onwards.
-->''"Truer than the red, white and blue-hoo-hoo-HOO!"''

* {{Eagleland}}: In a few segments, mainly ones set in The South or California. Also in the title, after all it's not ''Love, [[CanadaEh Canadian]] Style''.

The general format opened with a short (30-second) skit where (usually) a guy would try something and end up becoming the butt of a joke, like [[UnsettlingGenderReveal trying to make out with a girl and then discovering it's a guy]], or the woman is willing but her husband is lying asleep in the same bed. (Oh, don't worry about it, he's so drunk he'll never notice.) There would then be a much longer skit, running anywhere from 10 minutes to the rest of the show. It would be followed by another 30-second short, then if time remained, another longer skit. This format was not always followed, however; a few episodes were {{Poorly Disguised Pilot}}s that subsequently became regular series, such as ''Series/HappyDays'' and ''WesternAnimation/WaitTillYourFatherGetsHome''.

''Love, American Style'' was a [[GenreAnthology comedy anthology]] show that aired for five seasons (1969–74) on Creator/{{ABC}}, which presented various skits relating to romance, sex, or people's love lives.

!!Tropes featured include:

* AndTheAdventureContinues: Some commercial breaks start with the title heart saying "More Love To Come".

* TheRemake: In 1985, ABC created a short lived ''The New Love American Style''.
