‘McCloud’ (1970-1977)- anyone remember this limited series that ran for 7 years?

Dennis Weaver was a DADDY! He made my young gayling pecker get HARD!

God yes, my Dad used to watch it every week. I haven't thought of that show for years. I remember McMillan and Wife too. I used to confuse Dennis Weaver with another guy from a Western TV show, confused. I can't remember the other Characters name or the show.

Sure! This was on every week at our house.

Ken Curtis, Gun smoke

I remember Columbo too. Right now Kolchak is on, that's what I'm watching.

Columbo came on after this show.

It finished season 3 at #5 for the year. It was a hit.

I had a crush on Dennis Weaver

R7 I highly doubt that.

It’s impossible to watch season 1 the way it was originally aired. You can only find the re-edited version for syndication.

I liked Coogan's Bluff which seems to be the inspiration for McCloud

I loved McCloud!!! Never missed it.

We watched it. I remember an episode with Jaclyn Smith, girl smuggler.

I remember an episode with Lorna Luft

Dennis Weaver was the first 100% daddy bear I crushed on...before I even knew what that meant. His beautiful southern accent topped only by his beautiful dad-bod.

He didn’t have a dad bod

Untrue, R9. Visual Entertainment Incorporated has recovered Season One, the Four-In-One episodes of McCloud (so-called because they were part of a "wheel series", broadcasting on different weeks with 'San Francisco International Airport,' 'Night Gallery,' and 'The Psychiatrist'), in their original form, and they are included in the McCloud box set.

Since Season One was later chopped up and combined with bridging material to create several Season Two episodes, there's a certain amount of redundancy in the set, but the unaltered Four-In-One episodes are interesting viewing.

Didn’t season 1 have 6 episodes originally and then they were chopped up and edited into 3 episodes?

I liked it. It was my favorite Sunday NBC Mystery Theater after McMillan and Wife. I could never get into Columbo. I particularly liked this 1976 episode where McCloud travels to Australia to solve a case.

[Quote]I remember an episode with Lorna Luft

is that the episode where she was molested?

I preferred McMillan & Wife and Columbo to this show.

Although I was very impressed that Dennis Weaver had an "earthship" house somewhere in the West.

Sorry, OP. I was born in 1977, so I have no recollection of this show.

R18, that is one good looking guy on your link.

What did Mick Jagger say when he saw Dennis Weaver at thePlayboy mansion? Hey hey Hugh Hugh get off of McCloud!

All the episodes are on Tubi, a free streaming channel, and we've been watching one every Sunday night, as God intended. Just started the final season.

The guy who plays McCloud's reluctant partner, Broadhurst, is really good at understated exasperation. Quite funny. And Teri Garr is featured in a few episodes! One episode in particular gives her a lot to do, and it's her last appearance on the show - I assume Young Frankenstein was released around this time and she became too famous for TV.

I seem to recall that this rotated with McMillan and Wife and Colombo on Sunday nights. Given that was how the shows were broadcast it seems there would be fewer episodes made than weekly shows like Police Woman or Hart to Hart.

Loved Weaver and the theme song.

R23 only that isn’t true. Why are you making up watching it every Sunday night? Why does everything need to be a lie?

I was on an episode in 1973. Oddly, all that I remember is Joanna Pettet. I have no memory of Teri Garr. Ross Martin (Wild, Wild, West) and Steve Allen were also in the episode, but no memory. I must not have been on set when they were on set. I remember his son, Rusty Weaver. We were born a few days apart in the same year.

If not for MST3K, I would have never known that 'McCloud' existed.

They air it on Cozi TV during the weekend.

Oh, yes, OP!

I'm 58 and for 51 of them have had a love affair with Dennis Weaver. I just love his face, his expressiveness, his lanky, easy manner.

You're right; [italic]McCloud[/italic] holds up remarkably well. Such great casting of regular and recurring actors. "Fish out of water"-style movies or TV shows often are ham-handed, too obvious, or just plain boring. Not [italic]McCloud.[/italic]

And to this day my family and I think [italic]Duel[/italic] was Spielberg's best film, by far, (with [italic]The Sugarland Express[/italic] a close 2nd). My God, what a virtuoso performance by Weaver. Stunning on so many levels. Too bad in the 20+years I've been here I've never seen a DL thread on that film. Perhaps I should start one?

Good job, OP.

I agree R30. "Duel" is a great movie.

[quote] McCloud (1970-1977)- anyone remember this limited series

Yes, OP. I watched it as well. Liked it a lot.

But just to note, it was not a "limited series". It was a regular TV series.

Take your meds, R26. McCloud is indeed streaming on Tubi.

R32 incorrect. It was a limited series, and had just a few episodes per season. In modern day it would be classified as a regular series because we have less episodes now due to streaming but back then this was a limited series.

Season 1- 6 episodes

Season 2- 7 episodes

Season 3- 5 episodes

Season 4- 5 episodes

Season 5- 9 episodes

Season 6- 7 episodes

Season 7- 6 episodes.
