La signora e il fantasma

The Ghost and Mrs Muir is just another example of poor decision making by egotistical studio executives. Like so many others, it wound up just another great TV series that was put up against another pair of juggernaut long running successful competition, and came up just a little short in the ratings. My Three Sons captured the sit-com viewers, and Lawrence Welk the older ones. That left nothing for Mrs Muir and the Ghost. Film critics far more talented than I, awarded Hope Lange two Emmy awards for her work here, and you won't be disappointed by Edward Mulhare, or Rita Shaw, either. A touch of romance to go along with the comedy and drama, a completely delightful half hour show. Not to be missed.

I was only a kid when this show aired, but I loved it! It was romantic and funny at the same time, and Hope Lange and Edward Mulhare had real electricity between them. "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie" were so much alike, yet this show had the opposite idea: It was the man who had the supernatural powers, not the woman! But it also followed the same idea of having a beautiful blonde as the lead female. Although it was similar to the above mentioned shows, it was still different enough to be unique and definitely much more romantic!! And it had something extra: Charles Nelson Reily, a hilarious comedic actor. I was crushed when this charming show was canceled, but I recently found it on video after 33 years and it is just as wonderful as when it was first aired! I hope one of the networks runs this show for everyone to see. Nothing on TV today can compare to it. A first-rate romantic, funny sitcom!

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.

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.

I just recently discovered that this great late 60's sitcom was released on DVD. I began collecting them & at present have almost all of them. The Pilot Episode is both touching & hilarious & the episodes that follow are just as funny. Hope Lange & Edward Mulhare shined in their respective roles & Reta Shaw was perfectly cast as Martha, the housekeeper. The kids roles were very well cast as was Scruffy the family dog. Charles Nelson Reilly was fantastic as the befuddled, nervous nephew of Captain Gregg. The sets were bright & you really got a feel for Gull Cottage & Schooner Bay. All in all a very worthwhile series. Look for it & see if you don't agree. Miss Lange deserved the 2 emmys she received. Good Show Mrs. Muir.
