The Ghost & Mrs. Muir (1968)

Simply the Best

As has been pointed out this show was like a lot of others in it's time period of the late 60's and early 70's, except for one special difference. These felt like real people. Carolyn Muir as played by Oscar Nominated Hope Lange was a woman you wanted to know, to be friends with. Captain Gregg played by the excellent Edward Mulhare was charming and witty and yet could be so intense in his outlook on the "life" he was now leading. And the chemistry between these two characters was dynamite. It's very rare you find such tension on television in the past or now.

The kids were not merely cute, but intelligent and you can tell the family, which included Martha, cared for one another. It's just the best.
