The fish out of water detective comedy MCCLOUD was, alongside COLUMBO and MCMILLAN & WIFE, part of the early 1970s renaissance in mystery programs on the NBC network. Using the trope of contrasting between the social mores of the country and city to satirize both, MCCLOUD was inspired by the Clint Eastwood film COOGAN'S BLUFF. Sam McCloud (Dennis Weaver) is a policeman from New Mexico who chases a criminal across multiple state borders, eventually finding himself in New York City. There, he catches his man, but in the process falls in love with reporter Chris Coughlin (Diana Muldaur). Her brother is the police commissioner, and so McCloud is able to remain in the Big Apple as part of program to learn about big city police methods. Yet despite this excuse, McCloud continues to use old-fashioned know-how and country gumption to solve mysteries and stop criminals, often to comic effect. SEASONS ONE AND TWO contain 14 total episodes of the television series, with famous guest stars such as Raul Julia, Julie Newmar, Burgess Meredith, Milton Berle, and many more. [More]
