Oh man... I actually used to like this show.
My taste hurts.

Isn't the premise the same as Topper? And God is this horrible and bland.

I still get this fucking theme song stuck in my head every once in awhile, and I've only seen one episode.

Me at age 17 when this show came out: "Surely the American public will embrace a show where one of the former members of Monty Python plays a ghost!"

Can't really remember much about the rest of the show but I remember Eric Idle being pretty funny in it.

It's just so very wacky!

Oh I remember this. Good lord it was awful.

See since the new family in their old home can't see Eric Idle and his wife since they're ghosts, wacky stuff happens especially when Idle moves something around! Like Idle going out into the front yard and walking back with the morning paper and slapping it into the new owner's hand!

AND THE NEW OWNER HE'S ALL (BOGGLE EYES!) "THAT PAPER BOY MUST BE USING STEROIDS!" CAUSE IT'S LIKE TO HIM THE NEWSPAPER FLEW ACROSS THE YARD AND HE THOUGHT THE PAPERBOY THREW IT AND OH GOD WHY AM I ABLE TO REMEMBER THIS

Oh, it came out a year after Beetlejuice, that explains it.

American Bullshit + Travel Time over the pond - humour = BBC.

Or vice versa, whatever. The Red Dwarf US pilot didn't fly either.
