STORYLINE
Mrs Muir (Hope Lange) her two children, Jonathan (Harlen Carraher) Candice (Kellie Flanagan)and their maid Martha (Reta Shaw) rent a lovely old seaside house presumably in New England. Mrs. Muir is a widower but doesn’t show any interest in remarrying and is happy raising her kids.
The rub is that Claymore Gregg (Charles Nelson Reilly), the land lord has unsuccessfully tried to rent the house out for years but his dead uncle the original owner of the house keeps scaring potential renters away. It turns out that his uncle, Capt. Daniel Gregg (Edward Mulhare) was a 19th century sea captain and is haunting the house so that he’ll be left alone.
Well eventually Mrs. Muir and the family, who refuse to leave, win him over and he becomes another member of their family even if he can only be seen when he wants to be.
The show was based on a book by the same name written in 1945 by “R.A. Dick” and subsequently made into a 1947 film starring Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison.
