This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Janae Milner
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Brennan Camacho
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I bought a DVD collection of 64 Topper episodes from Nostalgia Merchant several years ago and just got around to watching it. I remember watching it as a kid some 50 (!) years ago and I still found it as funny now as I did then. However, I do have some complaints. The laugh track was so awful, more awful than usual fifties laugh tracks. It sounded like it was shown to a third grade class. The high pitched kiddie laughter made me want to scream! Then there was the quality of the videos. Some looked like they had been recorded off TV (I noted the "TV G" in the corner) and the end "throwaway" scenes were missing off of most of the episodes. The episodes were in such sorry shape. Then I wondered what happened to the missing 14 episodes. (There were 78 episodes in total.) Despite all this, it was good to see the episodes again, crappy shape, screaming kids, missing episodes and missing segments aside. I wish that someone would restore these episodes because for it's time, the writing and the situations were hilarious!

Anne Jeffreys, Robert Sterling & especially the talented Leo G Carroll made this series special. The casting has a chemistry that shows up with every episode I have seen. While the series was made in the early 1950's, I first saw some of them on Channel 9 New York City being re-run in the late 1970's. Not that it matters, the humor in this series is as timeless as any.Topper was actually a movie series prior to this being made. These shows were so good that I was very unhappy after catching some of them that Channel 9 stopped running them. Since I first saw this, I watched the movies. Even though the movies are very good with Cary Grant - this sitcom takes no second seat to the films.I am hopeful this show does come out on DVD in total plus any extras to be found. I'd like to see all of this one, and I am sure I have only seen a mere handful of them. What I have seen in this series hits the humor mark often.

I fondly recall watching this show on our first Raytheon TV. I also recall laughing at the crazy antics of George and Marion. The special effects were what I remember, quite good for that early time. Would love to see an episode once again and hear that catchy theme music. Neil, the St Bernard was a classic, drinking gin and I recall Cosmo's always battling with his boss, the stuffy Mr Schuyler (spelling may be wrong). I was hoping that the last show would result in the ghosts becoming visible to Mrs. Topper also. Oh well, I guess that was the five year old that i was at that time always believing that everything would always have a happy ending.

I remember well watching reruns of this series in the Fifties; incredibly, it still shows up in late-night reruns on broadcast TV even today. The special effects were pretty good for 1953, and now they're merely quaint. But the pleasant and good-natured charm of this story about the stodgy banker and the two friendly ghosts of the young marrieds who used to live in his house and were killed by an avalanche is just wonderful. The ghosts alternately help and drive crazy Topper - but they mean well. The chemistry is excellent, helped by Sterling and Jeffreys being married. Anne Jeffreys turned up in the last few years on some shows. . . and must have been drinking a youth serum! Still lovely.
