Fred had a face like rubber, so interesting to watch him make Herman's facial expressions. What a versatile actor and actually handsome. They used a big plasma ball for effect.
Compare his expressions to those of Monica Horan who played Amy on "Everybody Loves Raymond". Very similar. Wouldn't be surprised if they were related.
I love that Herman just embodies the sophisticated, gentle giant aspect of the original monster from the book Frankenstein, while also capturing the essence of the movie monster. 😍 That’s good acting right there!
The gentle giant aspect was primarily from the movies. In the book the monster (Adam) was truly monsterous inside and out and kills many innocents just to get revenge on his creator. While Freaneknstin is no saint his monster definitely takes after his creator.
The 60's was the greatest decade for comedy TV. The Munsters, The Beverly Hillbillys, Andy Griffith, Bewitched, I Dream of Jennie, Laugh In. So many more I forget to mention. The 60's was a great decade for laughs...
Truly from the brighter side of darkness. No other series on TV has shown so much warmth and affection of our true "diamonds in the rough" inner selves. Good chemistry in these actors/actresses.
Thank you for all of these clips! The laughs are healing. The writers must of had such a good time writing these episodes. Timeless humor that lasts through the generations.
The purity of this "scary" show is still so great, and if you really think about it, they promoted acceptance of what someone looked like on the outside because once you met them, they were all good inside despite a little strangeness! This show was against judgment of different looking/acting people. Loved it for a lifetime! Thank You! 🥰
The way Grandpa cackles, he'd've been perfect for the role of the Joker on the Batman tv series instead of Cesar Romero. But somehow I just can't think of Grandpa as a villain.
I laughed when Herman was going off to work as a cocktail waitress and Marilyn says "good evening aunt Herman" and Lily telling him not to let the customers get fresh.
Too many times the dang laugh tracks are ridiculous. My children who now have families of their own wanted me to watch ‘The Big Bang Theory’ as I haven’t ever watched it. I do love ‘Young Sheldon’, such a great series (Ian Armitage is fantastic) and it doesn’t use a laugh track.........thank goodness! Well I started watching the first season and that over loud and stupid laugh track is very irritating.........especially when it’s played during scenes that are just not funny or it is rather inappropriate.
I love the opening of the second season of The Munsters when Lilly checked for rain, I have a beautiful model of The Munsters Koach and a beautiful book about The Munsters, that Yvonne De Carlo and Butch Patrick did
That's the running gag of the show, Marilyn's looks. To us she is the normal one of the family, to them she is the odd one out, any way they treat her with love and kindness. Lily sees her more of a daughter than a niece. The Munster lifestyle is completely normal to her.

I want to thank you for bringing me back to a TV show I loved growing up, and especially a few of my favorites. This is one of them. I couldn't stop laughing when he was turned into a woman. Move over Mrs. Doubtfire and Madea, for Herman Munster was the first. FredGwynne you was a spectacular actor, and so missed.
Ahhaahh I hadn't never seen this but Omg! That was rich ! I love The Munsters show and especially Herman. That was Hilariious !! Hahaa !! But Omg! I was glad to see Herman back to his normal self laughing like he does !! :) Man we had the best cartoons, shows, and movies back in the days.. Didn't we !!
Love the Munsters, Herman, Lily and grandpa were magic on screen. I watched the show as a child and loved it. Now watching it as an adult I love it even more. I am so glad to have the series on DVD.😂😅
I just loved it in the air when her man turns back you never get tired of this and I love their when when Eddie says Monday he has to show up there to school and it goes why because it's Father's Day classic and it's still funny love The Munsters I wish it would have gone out three or four season ridiculous how they do the ratings
Thank you for the English caption. I’m deaf & watched this when I was little but had no way of understanding what they were saying. I just followed their actions & face expressions.
This episode of the Munsters is one of my personal favorite episodes ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 🤗🤗 And I ❤ the sound of " Herman's ", ( Fred Gwen ), voice ! ! ! ! ! ! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤍
Fun facts: 1. The electrical equipment Grandpa uses in the dungeon was designed by Kenneth Strickfaden for the original Frankenstein movies (starting in 1931). Since those movies were produced by Universal, the equipment--saved since the '30s and '40s--was available for use on The Munsters (also a Universal property). So what you see here are the same equipment and effects used when Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) created the Monster (Boris Karloff). 2. The music heard when the female Herman first shows up coming up from the dungeon and when she comes into the kitchen before going off to her job is an Irving Berlin song, "A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody." 😀
I looked up Yvonne DeCarlo and oh my word she was gorgeous! Not knocking your typical blonde bombshells of the day but I think she was more beautiful. Stunning.
One of the best classic trademark Munsters in the series loved it and Fred Gwynne still stayed in character with being a lovable Herman you saw the inside come out of Herman Munster and then need that makeup you're still lovable
i pretty sure it did more than just affect his appearance after all they wouldn't have started calling him a her if it was only visual. at least back then anyways. if it can add an extra leg to the Y chromosome then changing clothes would be of little consequence
His control of his facial expressions was impressive. That was a lot of work to remember each take. Talent.
Fred had a face like rubber, so interesting to watch him make Herman's facial expressions. What a versatile actor and actually handsome. They used a big plasma ball for effect.

There will never be another show like this. Clean, wholesome and funny.

3:26 I love how overly excited Grandpa gets as soon as he turns on the machine and gets things going. Great writing in this show.
I miss shows like this. You know, actors with talent and creative writing!
The look on Herman's face when the transformation didn't work out was hilarious 😂
And the music being played when he comes out. Plus the way he looks at Grandpa and Grandpa looks back at him.
When Marilyn says; "Good Evening, Aunt Herman" 😂
Been looking for this episode for awhile, When grandpa blew herman the kiss I lost it 🤣🤣🤣
Especially the looks aunt herman gave him in response to the kiss lol! Fred gwynnes got brilliantly expressive eyes!

I have never seen this episode despite having watched The Munsters every week since the beginning. Priceless!
I love grandpas laugh, mad scientist
Greatest mad scientist's laugh of all time.
Somehow, grandpa's laugh never gets old.
He sounds like he's having the time of his life.

How can you not love this show?
I love the opening of the second season of The Munsters when Lilly checked for rain, I have a beautiful model of The Munsters Koach and a beautiful book about The Munsters, that Yvonne De Carlo and Butch Patrick did
10:28 "Father's Day." That was my reaction, too! 😂😂

What makes it so hilarious is that when he gets struck by lightning, he also gets his old clothes back too!
Yeah they don't bother with a pretext which makes it that much more hilarious.
If you were a "continuity girl" good luck finding a job at ANY of the sit-coms back then -- or even now?? lol
That gives it more realism.
Lily is crazy beautiful.

Gee, I remember that scene as a kid. Ah, the 60s.
Yes. It was very funny.
Lol, I would do the same Tbh.. X3
So why didn't they "fix" Marilyn the same way? They were forever bemoaning what she looked like.
Because they didn't have blueprints to make her, so they had no way to try and make repairs, as she is already her original, homely self.
She was born that way.
That's the running gag of the show, Marilyn's looks. To us she is the normal one of the family, to them she is the odd one out, any way they treat her with love and kindness. Lily sees her more of a daughter than a niece. The Munster lifestyle is completely normal to her.
Never thought I would ever see a " skinny " Dom Deluise !
Thank you!! I was wondering if that was who it was!!
What are you saying? You saying he was fat or something?
Where?
@@supersaxyguy He was the Dr. in this episode of the show. This is a clip from the end the same youtuber has a clip of the beginning featuring the Dr.
And if you want to see a young Dom Deluise in a very serious role (small part) see the movie 'Fail Safe' (1964)
The last bolts of lightning 🌩 changed Aunt Herman back to Uncle Herman complete with clothes.

The Munsters holds up today, i feel it's timeless and the comedy is better and smarter than the writing today imo
Grandpa and Hermann; they made a good team!
They were in "Car 54", together.
My favorite Munsters episode ! :)
They must have had so much fun on this show.
So the 1st lightning only altered his physical appearance, but the 2nd and 3rd also magicaly changed his clothes!!!
i pretty sure it did more than just affect his appearance after all they wouldn't have started calling him a her if it was only visual. at least back then anyways. if it can add an extra leg to the Y chromosome then changing clothes would be of little consequence
If you look at the clothing after the first transformation, it was the same clothing Herman always wore. They were just looser in fit.
