Having grown up in the 1970's, CNR was everywhere: one of the most popular comedians on tv. His role on Ghost and Mrs Muir was hilarious even though he appeared to be a tightwad with a hatred for Daniel Gregg. But the comic chemistry between Edward Mulhare and CNR is a hallmark in television comedy from that decade.
On paper, Claymore is a pretty unlikable character but CNR's genius acting ability and comedic sense brought a depth to him that no one else could have brought to that character. Great video!! :)
My good friend and co-writer upeasterner share a distaste for Claymore, but after this charming video, I may need to rethink that (well, a bit anyway). You have a true talent for matching unexpected music with your themes - can't wait for the next one!
Thank you! To be honest , when I first watched the series, I wasn't too thrilled with Claymore myself. I was more in love with the romance aspect. But now that I've been able to re-watch the shows I can appreciate the humor more and I can't help but like the character, flaws and all. (I do agree with ghostfan - they did need to tone his appearances down a bit in Season 2)
This is greatm Joanie! I just love it! Claymore got used too mucvh during GAMM's second season, but you putting all his best moments together was super. What was the music you used?
Thanks! You know I absolutely adore the whole love story between Carolyn and the Captain, but I can't help cracking up over Claymore's antics. Sometimes I think that Charles Nelson Reilly was a bit overshadowed in a way, and I just wanted to give him a bit of recognition here for doing such a great job.
Charles Nelson Reilly as Claymore Gregg always reminds me of Daffy Duck.

Thank you! The music was from the animated Tortoise and the Hare Silly Symphony from Walt Disney. I love how it slows down and then speeds up again.

Never thought I'd say this about a Claymore vid -- but ingenious! Once again, you've married old video w cool music for the perfect effect!
