Synopsis

McDuff, The Talking Dog was a Saturday morning live action television program that aired on NBC in 1976. The show centered around the ghost of a 100-year-old sheepdog who used to live in the home now owned by a veterinarian, Dr. Calvin Campbell. McDuff could talk not only to the other animals, but also to Dr. Campbell. However, Dr. Campbell was the only person who could hear or see McDuff, which often led to wacky situations. Dr. Campbell’s neighbor, Amos Ferguson, was played by Gordon Jump, who would later go on to WKRP in Cincinnati fame.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
purakek Gee, why not do a 70's version of Mr. Ed, but instead of a horse, get a talking dog? Make it obvious, as in close-ups, where the talking dog is a puppet, with only the mouth moving! Put a young Broadway star, never mind if he doesn't sing here and he's so uncomfortable, his acting ability questionable? Finally, put in an old reliable, Gordon Jump (pre-WKRP), and make sure he always gets his comeuppance (Jump is the bad guy here) by landing on water (sometimes with his lackey). Watched this as a kid, and despite my tolerance level, it still sucked.
