EP5 Today I Am a Ghost

Oct. 16,1969

A particulary funny episode where the ghost of a seaman comes looking for his former Captain in dire need. It seems that even though Elroy has been dead for over a hundred years, he can't seem to get a handle on the haunting aspect of his existence. It seems that Elroy is afraid of people. The Captain is beyond himself it what to do with him. Not being able to stand him when he was alive, he isn't doing much better now that both him and his former crewman are both not alive; as Carolyn words it. Captain Gregg scares Elroy more than helps him and becomes frustrated with the bumbler so Carolyn takes a hand in helping the poor ghost learn to haunt. She assures Elroy that he can scare people, he just has to get the right kind of person to practice on. Claymore is the perfect candidate and after breaking a window to get the landlord to come up to Gull Cottage , she persuades Elwood to scare him out of his wits. Elroy is delighted with the results and goes off to haunt the house h

Reviews

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 .

Universalpeace2005-1 I would really like to see this 1968 TV series of the Ghost and Mrs Muir released on DVD. Was an excellent television show, and a wonderful take from the 1947 movie. I actually liked it far better than the original movie. The TV series had a bit more substance. All the characters were brilliant; including captain Gregg. Set in a most idyllic scenic place, with a beautiful seaside cottage as well, Gorgeous scenery and story lines made this series a fun, light-hearted feel-good show to watch and enjoy. would like to see the series again. So, how about it? will those that hold the rights to the series please release onto DVD.

ghostfan I first saw this show at age eleven and fell in love with it, and the Captain! Candy and Jonathan Muir were kids I wanted to be friends with, everyone needed a housekeeper like Martha, (played perfectly by Reta Shaw) and Charles Nelson Reilly was in top form. Now, 39 years later, I still love this show and can appreciate it as an adult. Edward Mulhare and Hope Lange had great chemistry (something I see several reviewers have stated) and it showed, without using double entendres and/or smarmy jokes and suggestive language so prevalent on today's sitcoms. It also boasted guest appearances from well-known actors and future award-winners such as Richard Dreyfuss, William Daniels, Eileen Brennan, Bill Bixby, Shelly Fabares, Jack Gilford, Jonathan Harris, Harry Nilsson, Mark Lester, and Kenneth Mars. Even after being canceled by NBC and picked up by ABC, Miss Lange snagged back-to-back Emmys for the two years of the show's run, and Mulhare and Reilly were also nominated. This show is well worth seeing in its own right without comparing it to book or movie, and like others here, I wish it could be released on DVD someone out there, write or sign a petition! Another generation needs to see this show!

jwrowe3 Originally done as a 1947 movie with Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison, The Ghost And Mrs. Muir came along at a time when fantasy on American TV was accepted. "I Dream of Jeannie", "Bewitched", and such, were hits, and it seemed that most audiences liked the escapist fare, especially at a time when most of what you saw on television at the time was protest, war, and death.Hope Lange and Edward Mulhare were capable leads, and the story lines would deal with the age old question of, "how do we keep the neighbors from finding out we have a ghost!"This was also one of the few show that, like "Taxi", and "JAG" many years later, would jump from one network to another. Sadly "Ghost", and "Taxi" died right after the move, where "JAG" survived and (as of July 2002) still had life left in it.
