KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Sussie Due Even though there were only two seasons, I have watched all the shows over and over again. I still laugh each time. What a shame that almost all the actors/actresses are gone now. Gone but not forgotten.Even though this show came out when I was just a child, I actually ever heard of it until just a few years ago. Being a fan of Edward Mulhare I was eager to watch it. All the characters are simply wonderful. The show flows and there is never a dull moment. What a loss that it was canceled after only two seasons.If you are a fan of witty, family oriented, charming classic television, you will not go wrong seeking this show out and watching it.

nowego Based on the novel by R.A Dick and the 1947 Rex Harrison/Gene Tierny film, This series is a fun mix of comedy and romance with the two main stars having great chemistry which really makes the show. The children can be a bit tiresome and tend to speak a bit too loud at times, but they still do a good job.The lead characters of Mrs Muir and the Captain are played by Hope Lange and Edward Mulhare. Both of whom are now deceased.Initially the show follows the plot of the film with young widow Carolyn Muir moving to a cottage by the sea with her two young children (she only had one child in the movie) and maid/cook Martha. Like the movie everything seems perfect until she discovers the house is haunted by former owner Captain Gregg. Only Carolyn, her son and a relative of the Captain's, Claymore Gregg can see or hear him. This leads to many funny moments, most of them at the expense of Claymore or townsfolk who the Captain sees as doing wrong by Mrs Muir or others.If you've seen the film this is one show you should not miss. Even if you haven't seen the movie you will still love this show.The first time I saw this was a young kid back in the 70's, I loved with it then and still love it now. This and My Favorite Martian used to play back to back prior to the News every night on the ABC. It was a show we never missed unless the reception was too bad to watch it.Very recently it came out on DVD which was a very happy day for me. I marathoned both seasons straight through after obtaining the DVDs.While there are a few episodes that can be a little boring or over the top, on a whole the show is still as good today as it was from what I remember of it in the 70's.My favourite character was Mrs Muir, very closely followed by the Captain and Clamore Gregg.

BigWhiskers its very easy to get taken in all over again by this sweet natured comedy. i was only 3 in 1968 but definitely remember watching it yrs later in reruns. catching it again on you tube made me fall in love with the late Edward Mulhare, not only is he handsome but he oozes such passion with his eyes that no words could express. in some scenes especially the dreams where he gets to hold and finally kiss Hope Lange is where it really tugs at your heart. I think this comedy did not survive more so because of the fact is was not a Brady bunch or family affair type of comedy at the time.it was much more adult especially with the relationship between the captain and Mrs Muirs,those longing glances they gave each other. Everyone else on the show were more or less there to fill the screen when the capt wasn't on screen himself. the kids were not likable and always looked like they were having trouble saying their lines which was just a pain to watch . the housekeeper was also an unnecessary character like say aunt Clara was on bewitched and as for Charles nelson Reilly, his character was too over the top camp and played to the hilt.if you didn't know he was gay in real life you had to be deaf and blind. he simply was too much for this type of comedy- the bungling flamboyant loser and sight gags really brought it down sometimes.i think had they given it a bit more substance and better writing it might have competed better. some of the later episodes focused too much on claymores life and infantile comic plots than good comedy. the pratfalls and objects floating around to scare people became less fun and more yawn worthy with Mulhare's talent being wasted in more juvenile plot elements. there was not enough witty comedic banter between Lange and Mulhare that could have been so good if they had hired better writers. in the end i will always remember the romance of the capt and Mrs Muir.Who could have resisted him?. i know i couldn't have .

Drewboy-2 This was a great show that stayed true to the theme of the 1947 movie it was based on. Hope Lange did a wonderful job and Edward Mulhare made an awesome captain. Sadly, this lovely actress is no longer with us, but her smile could sure brighten up your day - as a boy, I looked forward to this show and was sad when it was cancelled after only two seasons - it deserved a longer run.
