Fred Gwynne. What an absolutely underrated and versatile actor. His role as the judge in "My Cousin Vinnie" is classic as the movie is timeless.
" two utes " , " 2 what"... 2 utes your honor.

Not Underrated !! You Boob !
I watched "My Cousi Vinnie" not realizing that the judge was Fred Gwynne. When someone pointed that out to me, my mind was blown.
@@garywood9525 what's a ute?
I never tire of watching the Munsters!!!
Me either. I can watch this show over and over. I love it. One of my fav shows. I have the complete series on DVD. I wish it would come on Blu-ray
Love ❤️ herman& grandpa hangout
The Munsters, The Adams Family...Both forever CLASSICS!
The original Addams Family cartoons by Charles Addams in “The New Yorker Magazine” were far darker in their humor than the tv show was.
I once saw a book of Mr. Addams’ cartoons and they were hysterically funny. One cartoon featured a festive group of Christmas carolers, singing in front of the Addams family mansion, with Gomez, Morticia and Uncle Fester up on the roof and preparing to pour a vat of burning oil down on the unsuspecting Christmas carolers kind of like Quasimodo in “The Hunchback of Norte Dame.”
Another one featured a look out from a movie theater screen, showing all of the women in the movie audience crying intensely and the men in the movie audience grimacing at the obvious horror being shown up on the movie screen. However, in the middle of the audience, we see Uncle Fester watching the same scene with an absolute look of joy and delight on his face!
I don’t think they would have shown John Astin, the late Carolyn Jones and the late Jackie Coogan doing those things on the 1960s sit-com!
Back in the day,I ran home too watch the munsters from start too finish.aug2022.
My grandmother did the make up and hair for this show! Always loved it!
I loved Lily's makeup and the opening of the second season of The Munsters.
Really? Omg did she have a good time? I so want this show to have a fun proper reboot. Lol
Cool
Very cool 😎. I love the show. It seemed like a lot of work. I am so grateful.
Awesome 😎
It is hard to believe the Munsters show only ran 2 seasons. I think it was very funny and the actors made the characters seem really likeable. A truly talented cast and a very entertaining show. I truly wish this show had continued. I still enjoy watching this show greatly. Very sad to lose Fred, Yvonne, and Al. At least we can still cherish their characters and work on this wonderful show forever on DVD's .
At least we still have Eddie and Marilyn
But you look at how many episodes they did during a season and you realize they put in a lot of work. Today, you see seasons of 10 to 12 episodes. The Andy Griffith Show had 36 episodes their first season.
@@vanmoody That is interesting. I was wondering how they managed to take two seasons and show repeats spanning an entire decade. I was watching this show regularly as a kid in the 90s. The movie would occasionally come on the TV too.
@@wheatpuff I just looked it up. The Munsters ran 2 yrs and did 70 episodes. That is just crazy. It's like today a show being on 7 yrs. I've been rewatching The Munsters on the Peacock app. One thing I forgot was that Lilly bought two cars for Herman and she wanted them combined into one car. This is how they got the Munster Mobile. I had forgotten this.
@@vanmoody That car was beautiful and crazy. I was a fan of the coffin dragster too. It's neat how it used to be like this staple of older shows to feature a custom car. I think of the Bat mobile, Munster mobile, Knight Rider. Custom machines that seemed to effortlessly take on a character of their own.
As a kid back in the 60´s TV seemed like heaven. You had The Munsters, Batman. Star Trek, Thunderbirds, The Magic Roundabout etc. Some realy crazy stuff around those days, full of charm and creativity. Times long gone.
Don't forget The Addams Family, I Dream of Jeanie, The Jetsons and The Flintstones.
@@kendallrivers1119yes, even the cartoons were the best. Top Cat, Jetsons,
I watched the Munsters since I was a child and still watch it now with my grandchildren. Never get enough of the Munsters!
You can't possibly be old enough to have grandchildren.
The Munsters was a huge success here in England, airing on prime time Saturday nights on BBC One. Prime time Saturday television here in England was a goldmine and ratings proved it. Millions tuned in.
Hernan was the true star of the show with his friendly voice..

When it said "the idea of funny monsters wasn't new" at 2:00 I thought they were going to mention the Abbot and Costello stuff, .. . but they mentioned Bugs Bunny instead and made no mention of them at all.
shawnr
Joseph Landrut thank you! My voice isnt as nice sounding anymore but once you hit 700 yrs old...things change.
I actually like the fact that it is filmed in black and white. It gives it that classic look of old horror films, of which I'm a big fan.
***** Yeah the color films don't have the same feel to them.
All we had was a black and white tv. I didn’t know that The Wizard of Oz was in color until I saw it on the movie screen in the 1980s
Yes, it was strange seeing Herman Munster’s actual complexion (it was green) in that somewhat disappointing Munster film, “Munster Go Home.”
There is also some rare color film footage (taken by the makeup man) of the late, great Boris Karloff in his Frankenstein monster makeup and he, too, was green like the late, great Fred Gwynne’s lovable monster, Herman Munster.
I recall the first episode of the Munsters and have been a devoted fan since 1964. The episodes never stale and I can watch any given episode repeatedly and its like the first time. Comic genius at its best. Fred Gwynn and Al Lewis nailed it!
.
The Munsters, Gilligan's Island, Batman, Star Trek, Dark Shadows, etc were all a big part of my childhood & watching them today bring back a lot of happy memories!
Dark Shadows? You watched THAT as a kid? I used to watch "Lost in Space" (Bill Mumy narrated this Munsters documentary), Land of the Giants, It's About Time (I can vaguely recall the theme song), Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and Time Tunnel.
A year or two ago I rewatched the entirety of Dark Shadows. I was also a fan of Wild, Wild West, Man from Uncle, the Avengers and Addams family.
Television was so much more family oriented back then. Nowadays, almost every TV show has to have foul language, sexual innuendo, and an idiot with an IQ lower than his shoe size portraying the "father figure". No wonder network television has lost 90% of their regular viewers.
I feel fortunate to have grown up when parents didn't have to worry about their children seeing "adult content" on television. I was just a toddler when The Munsters originally aired, but I still think it's much better than just about any modern sitcom.
Well said! 👍
I love how this was such a wholesome show. Such care was taken to keep it that way. All were great actors. It always made me laugh, especially how they tried to make Marilyn feel normal and that they felt so bad for her. Great show!
Not sure it was so wholesome. I was an oversexed early teen and raced home to “amuse” myself on Marilyn, I dream of Jeanie, Bewitched….I was a shocker.
@@petesmith9472 : The SHOW was wholesome. You clearly were NOT.
Marilyn's dates meeting Herman and running off in fast motion over the fence and burning rubber away from the house were some of the best scenes.
This was good clean TV in the 1960s. Love it!!
I love those scenes--so funny!
😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😅😂 even today, I still laugh at that part
What a great time to grow up as a kid, The Munsters, The Outer Limits (my fav.), Twilight Zone, Johnny Quest, Batman, Lost in Space, Addams Family, Famous Monsters Mag., Eerie, Creepy, Aurora Monster Kits and even my Mother had her evil soap opera - Dark Shadows ! and all those different Fri/Sat night Horror theatre movie that brought back all the Classic Horror & Sci-Fi movies and usually after that was mystery theatre with Sherlock Holmes or Mr.Moto or Charlie Chan !!! It was a great time for kids and parents ! I know I missed many more but there it is, I still love this stuff !!! Oh yeah and all those beautiful 1960s American cars !!!
+Prog X Boy! You turned on the "Way Back" machine with your comment! :)
+Heru- deshet Yes I tend to do this, I still love all the older fun TV of my youth it was like I said a great time . There are many good modern Sci-Fi/Horror TV - Grimm, Walking Dead, Falling Skies, American Horror Story, Sleepy Hollow, Under the Dome and more but they lack the fun factor of that era. Also it helps mask the issues of the real world for me - work, bills, relations,etc. Thanks for posting !
Prog X
You must be a twin brother (or sister) I didn't know I had, lol! We like the same programs and yes, they are a great form of release for me as well.
Heru- deshet Great, I must be your Brother ! Thanks man , Just watched a bunch of "Outer limits" the other night. What I like the most of the vintage shows are all the great actors all the way to the smallest parts !
Prog X Most of the older actors today like William Shatner started out in shows like The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits and others.
Did you ever watch "The Invaders"? It starred Roy Thinnes as David Vincent, who accidentally discovers an alien invasion that's already underway. It had a lot of Cold War overtones in it. How about "Chiller Theater"? Those were the days, man.
I didn't know how long it ran; I have watched every single one a hundred times. Fell in love with it as a child, and still watch them from time to time.
I didn't realize til the end credits that the narrator here is Bill Mumy from "Lost in Space" -- I really enjoyed this feature.. thanks for posting it!
In 1993, I recognized Grandpa Al Lewis near my office in New York. I was not going to let the chance pass so I said "Al? Al Lewis! " He spun around and answered "yes." I told him how in college, we used to pile into the tv room to watch the show and how much we enjoyed it. I also told him that I knew that he was one of the best basketball scouts in the country. He was flattered and said "I am the best roundball scout in America." He really was a great judge of basketball talent. Later, I moved to Montreal and found that the Munsters were as beloved in Quebec as in America. Fred, Al, Yvonne, Rest in Peace, you made many people very happy.
Yvonne DeCarlo was born in Ca6
I'm an 80's kid from Costa Rica and watching The Munsters at noon was the happiest part of the day. They are still aired regularly and I still feel that happy every time I find it. One of my all time favorite TV shows!
I remember when my uncle showed this to me and my brother when we where young I couldn't get enough of it. I definitely will show this to my kids someday instead of the garbage that is on today.
My 3 year old son is obsessed with the universal monsters, just got the Munsters boxset on amazon for him. Heres hoping a new generation loves it
LOVE the Munsters I have every episode downloaded to my hard drive and I usually watch them every day.
I grew-up watching The Munsters.
How lucky I was.
And Yvonne De Carlo what a legend......
My mom watched The Munsters growing up. She shared it with me and I fell head over heels in love! Now, I watch it with my 2 year old son. He loves Herman and will sit and watch with me for hours!
If yo thought Marilyn was beautiful, Yvonne DeCarlo in her prime and without the Lily Munster green makeup.........was STUNNING!!!!
@@TahariBlue which maralyn?
Yvonne had some beautiful Jumbo Jacks
Well I have my very own little girl who looks like Lilly and I have Thank God
When it comes to art direction, photography, set and makeup design, The Munsters was one of the most artistically well done shows in TV history. Great texture and atmosphere
I miss the Munsters and all the shows like it.
Even though a man of twenty two, my son watched online and loved it. He watched the shows one after the other. Yvonne was a great choice with those expressive eyes! Lovely.
I am 55 and I still watch the " Munsters "...
My son will watch them with me.
The B&W approach, while cost conscience, gave the show a more eerie feel, imo. And the final casting cuts were another very good choice.
like the old horror movies they took the characters from.
it's "cost-conscious"
Yeah well we grew up watching b&w as kids back in the early 60s.
I absolutely LOVE this show! Just a lot of clean, crazy fun! It was great!!!! The actors were absolutely wonderful. You couldn't replace them if you tried!!!
LOL...... Reading comments, I see endless people saying how great it was to be a kid during those times growing up with shows like this.
Guess what? I grew up in the 80's/90's and guess what shows I grew up to? MUNSTERS!, Adams Family, Patty Duke, Denis the Menace.... One of the last things mentioned in this video was how it is syndicated even now... meaning you guys were not the only generation lucky enough to have shows like this around. Ah ya, I missed one of top greats Beverly Hillbillies along with their spin-offs, petticoat junction/green acres. Thank god for reruns so I was too lucky because when it was old and on its 1000000th time airing, it was brand new to me :). And growing up, the channel was nickelodeon's spin-off that really brought the old stuff back to life and spawned its own full time channel Nick at Night. Before that all you could get ahold of really was Adams Family and Munsters on mainline tv, the rest was more newer shows or the more popular bigger hit old shows like gomer pyle andy griffith and such. When Nick at Night happened and my tv did not go dead after 10-11:-00 every night and kept playing shows instead of that "white noise" that dominated late night tv. One show I miss to this day is MR ED!!!! I remember the last "marathon" they did..... they did it with the promise that it "will never be aired again" "this is the last time" and I was thinking "ya right, it will be back on next year or 2 at the VERY most" lol....... to this day, MrED has been dead to tv :(.
I am only 40 (well... in a couple months) and I bet I got the SAME nostalgia as any of you guys that watched shows like this when it first hit the airwaves. When they showed the pilot episode in this video i was like OMFG!!! WTF!!!! COLOR!!!!!!
In my picture collection is a picture of the Munster set in Color, it wasnt during shooting or with any actors around, just a picture of the set with a more modern camera, so not even a "technicolor" color photo, but a real color photo of the set :)
O ya and I did get to meet Donna Douglas once, she came to my church. Much older than she was back then but still wore the blue jeans with rope belt and shit and could still do that famous whistle lol.
Sometimes I play some Earl Scruggs at work and a few of the "kids" are like WTF is THAT, and I tell em they know one of his songs and they assure me they dont..... until I say Beverly Hillbilly theme and they instantly have a connection to Earl Scruggs.... so dont give up on the younger generation quite yet :)
This was an exceptional documentary! I still watch them every evening, Have loved the series as long as I could remember.
Still one of my favorite shows till this day!!!
It's a shame that The Munsters was losing its ratings because of the success of Batman. I love both shows so much.
Kristen Johnstone i am old soul myself.
Kristen Johnstohne
Yes, same here. Too bad the two shows couldn't peacefully coexist 🙂
The munsters was better
@@randysine752
Just not as popular
What a great time to be a kid and experience this show firsthand 💕
Excellent documentary. The show never gets old. In fact, each time one sees an episode, something new is spotted. The acting was top notch as well.
One of the greatest shows on tv durning the 60's.....
It’s nice to know the cast of the Munsters had just the right mix of professionalism,talent and personal chemistry. No evidence of upstaging or petty egos. Just let’s make it good and have fun doing it. :)
39 episodes in 1 season
Show was a huge success loved the show! where the hell is anything as creative today
Great Show Love The Munsters
Lily and. Eddie were absolutely. Wretched
Oh my God! I had forgotten just how beautiful Yvonne De Carlo was. An an absolutely gorgeous woman!
Bob Barker Amen to that. You can fall in love with a single glance
Bob Barker The young girl on the Munsters claimed that Yvonne threatened and told her not to outdo her, or else. Remember the girl never said much.
Myron Helton I sincerely hope you're talking shit
THe girl was on a talk show and she claimed Yvonne threatened her not to upstage her. Why do you think the girl never said shit on the Munsters. Doesnt that make you wonder?
Myron Helton I guess...but it's shattering all my illusions!
Fred Gwynne was a hell of a good actor and it's a shame his career suffered for years after the show was cancelled. Very talented man, wide range and a great voice, he could do it all.
Growing up with shows like Gilligans' Island, the Munsters and others, it's almost shocking how short their runs really where. (2, 3 seasons sometimes)
it's sad that the past was snipped off from the current day as it's been... now we have hundreds of channels and absolutely nothing good to watch
They made 39 episodes a year back then. The 70 episodes The Munsters had was the same as a Six year or longer series of today's 10-13 episode seasons.
sht ,they SATURATED daytime tv slots so often ,EVERY day in the 80s the black n white shows ..FORCED out,away from fcknd Danny damn Partridge...scary like old IT clown,the real pennywise...only no makeup lol GOD HIMSELF..GAVE my white ADHD,only child wiith only a mom..The Internet!! Streaming ..ALWAYS someone play video games WITH,ANY TIME..ANY DAY. (fck Gilligan,ida ATE him first IRL situation. ..MAYBERRY id LEVEL ,50 megaton on the jailhouse oughta doit.. to honor Nagasakiby disposing RACISM/HATE that cant be cured or fixed...so Aunt Bs bf the grand dragon is hoodless..
You can't re-make a classic, the original Munsters cast had a magic and charisma that simply couldn't be recreated by other actors. Fred Gwynne and Yvonne De Carlo as Herman and Lily were my favourites, wonderful actors both and you totally believed they were a happily married couple!
This was an exceptional documentary! of our favorite sitcom family, I still watch them every evening, Have loved the series as long as I could remember.
Herman's big laugh just makes me giggle...he was the best, along with everyone else on the show. I watched many episodes in the early 80's in high school in ND after school. Great to see the show Cozi here...one of my favorites for sure!
Met Fred Gwynne on the set of Pet Sematary. I was his stand in for a day. Nice man.
Lou Johnson, if that's your picture, I can see why you were his stand in.
Roland Kee Hey. I have to go with my strengths.
Lou Johnson that's great!!! hope you also met King.
Katherine Myers Not yet. Would be cool to see him in person.
Lou Johnson : thanks for the reply. must have been an amazing time on the set.
200 billion years from now it will still be playing in the heads of everyone. Masterpiece!!!!!!!
In a mere 7 billion years, the sun is due to collapse into itself, rending the earth uninhabitable. Hopefully by then man will have figured out how to colonize other worlds. And it's always possible, on their way to explore other worlds, they will watch re-runs of The Munsters.
But Jesus Christ will be returning any day! Hope all Munster fans are ready! ✝️❤️🕊
@@elizabethann8228amen ! God bless you! Jesus saves sinners
@@peterpiper7441Jesus saves sinners! God bless you!
Man...I was 6 in the fall of '64. I remember The Munsters though. I'm glad they switched to the Eddie Munster we know and love bcuz that kid in the pilot was terrible. The pilot Lily was wrong too.
What is amazing other than their success was how many episodes they use to film for tv back then.. 70 episodes in just 2 years! man it can 4+ for shows to do that now, and the actual length is much lower.. to top it off they didn't make the money that stars make today
carlindelco Also they don't make any money off syndication like actors do today. They would be well off just from that.
AnimalHouseforReal
yeah I know.. they would have
carlindelco ruclips.net/user/CelebritiesPlasticSurgerytv
carlindelco Mate I absolutely loved this show from America and still do.
Because of the juxtaposition of the character stereotypes, it is also brilliant comedic satire!!
The "chemistry" script wise between the characters is STUNNING.
It was always going to be a 2 - 3 season show as writers had to run out of good and "new" stories fairly quickly....at 70 episodes they reached that point.
Remember...this was a 4-5 episode per week program once audiences got quickly hooked.
It's continued success across generations is everything to do with the above....I hope they organized a salary and future broadcast commission. They would be set for life..............This show is watched each week, by almost as many viewers as the "Addams Family"
+carlindelco That's the equivalent to 3+ seasons of a sitcom or series nowadays.
loved this show growing up i was born in 66
and still love it today
Nothing like the 1960s. This show and the birth of the greatest sci-fi show still running. My parents were lucky. Both 1964. They grew up decent. Now you get today, where you have the Kardashians and the Duggars. I prefer classic tv instead of modern tv. And I'm only 13. I got great friends, good school, but I just want something besides Ghost Adventures and Doctor Who to watch.
My favorite. Best show ever! The silliness is a great escape every time. I still watch it more than I'd admit...
😅
Im 43 , and still watch these Ghoulish Guys on my dvd player . love Um.
It would have been nice if they had talked about Jack Marshall, the guy who composed both the Munsters' theme as well as the incidental music. Music plays such an integral part in a show's mood and personality, and most of the time people don't realize it.
Way too often TV composers are often forgotten. Shame too since his Munsters theme is ingrained in pop-culture history.
@@mainstreetsaint36 Absolutely! 👍
So gl;ad I came across this, thank you for posting.
That's a great username. Please don't disappoint me by telling me it's not intended to be interpreted the way I'm interpreting it.
MisAnnThorpe I will let you make up your own thoughts :)
👹💀👹💀👹💀
The Munstermobile is all it took for me to love this show.
AWWWWW The Munsters, I grew up with them, watched the show when I was a kid and the Adam's Family and of course Batman when it came on.
I didn't care for the Adams family, but loooooove the Munsters.
Michigan state Indiana 2016
Beatles and Stones
me too
Same here... I don't recall watching much of the Addams Family (although I loved--and still do--Charles Addams' New Yorker cartoons).
The only thing I remember that was funny from the Addams Family was when Gomez would blow up his model trains.
I loved watching this show as a kid. One of my favorite episodes is when Herman buys a car from fair deal dan. When he gets home with the car it falls apart. He goes to return the car but fair deal dan has packed up and skedaddled. Great show...They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
Frank Gorshen
That's one of my favorite episodes, too! "Herman the Tire-Kicker" is the name.
How about when Herman tries out for the Los Angeles Dodgers and manager Leo Durocher? Herman could consistently hit the ball further than Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron but he was a Dick “Dr. Strangeglove” Stuart in the field, ending Herman’s tryout with the Dodgers.
If Herman had tried out for an American League team in 1973, he could have been one of the first and greatest hitting designated hitters in the history of Major League Baseball.
PS I also loved the episode where Marilyn and then Herman end up wearing a ring with the infamous “Fregosi curse” on it.
The New York Mets had their own “Fregosi curse,” when they very foolishly traded the future All-Time MLB strikeout leader and Hall of Famer “No-Hit” Nolan Ryan in exchange for the by-then washed up Jim Fregosi of the California Angels, easily one of baseball’s all-time rotten/stinker trades.
@@kensellers4082 Yes that was a great episode!
My favorite was the one where Herman becomes a singing star. They always cut out the best part on television! Another funny one was grandpa as a woman.
Love this comedy show. Still watch it on DVD today,sad that three of the cast members have now passed on,Fred Gwynn,Al Lewis,Yevvone De Carlo,R.I.P.
A true classic! Loved this as a kid and still do.
Reruns here in GB on BBC 2 and Channel 4 in the '80's introduced me to The Munsters, The Phil Silvers Show, The Addams Family, Car 54 (Where are you?) and The Beverly Hillbillies. All some of my favourite comedies.
DeCarlo was brilliant. Her comic timing is fabulous, and even more amazing when you consider she was a dramatic actress before taking on Lily. She didn't just mail it in either, she was on board and helped make this show legendary despite its short run.
this is the most lighthearted documentary I have ever seen.
The Munsters scared the crap out of me, from age 6 to 8, but I had to watch it because of my six older siblings. To this day, Eddie & Grandpa still freak me out! But there was Marilyn, who even then I had fallen for!
watch them on netflix, never gets old,
I was also "created" in 1964..However, the Munsters will still be around long after I am gone. Long live the Munster re runs!
I was 4 in 1964 and I watched The Munsters during both seasons of its run, refusing to abandon it for Batman even though so many other kids of the day had. RIP Fred Gwynne, Al Lewis, Yvonne de Carlo and Beverley Owen. I'm glad I have the Peacock streaming video channel; so I can binge-watch both seasons of the show.
Yeh, I found them on Peacock just a few weeks back and binge watch them. Netflix has a new release of The Munsters as Herman and Lilly met. It's slow and goofy, the actors are good, and it's about an hour 50 long. We enjoyed it.
Knew Al Lewis when we did KPFK pledge drives together in the 80's. A great guy & a true mensch! Delighted to have known him.
The Munsters weren't from my time, but I grew up watching them on the old TV land channel. Classic GEM just like The Addams family.
wow I use to see that show; when I was a kid. I still watch it, is so awesome! thanks ( ;
Happy Halloween! I grew up in the in the 1960's. Did not discover "The Munsters" until the early 1970's. By far the best of the best of the spooky 1960's T.V. series (The Addams Family, Bewitched etc.) Seen every episode at least 10 or more times, thank the T.V. gods for Re-runs! I enjoy this show to this day. Especially around the Halloween season. Brings back good memories of our generations childhood. Makes one forget, if even for 30 minutes, of all the bad things going on today. Thanks for the memories!
One of the funniest and best shows ever. I loved watching this show after I got home from school. They don't make them like this anymore.
Its kind of depressing to know Fred Gwynne hated being Herman Munster, because so many of us Loved ole Herman. It was that wonderful combination of Frankenstein’s Monster meets Ward Clever that everyone loved, and you add to it Fred’s natural comedic timing, and his sort of Lou Abbott bumblery , it truly made a lovable character, as proven with the passage of time
We used to love when the sped up the film when someone was running to get away from them. Classic!!
Thanks so much for having this.
Great show. Glad I grow up in a time when I could watch these shows
Those were the days..
So innocent, & humble remembering comming out of school, Just 2 see the munster's ,55years,
Now ,time just going so quickly..
I got to watch the Munsters in reruns as a kid and loved all the characters though Herman was my favorite. Pat was pretty but Beverley was soo cute.
as a kid I was really excited when this came out and I flipped over recognizing Herman and Grandpa from one of my favorite shows, Car 54 . All the actors fit those parts so well you can’t even imagine anyone else even being thought of. Back when TV was for the whole family and not rude and crude like today’s sitcoms. My Grandfather had Charles Addams books and I read those as a kid ,so when the Munsters and Addams Family came out I was ecstatic!
This,without a doubt, is the FUNNIEST sitcom ever! I'm old ,when Star Trek came on I watched 👀 The Muensters ,When The Addams Family came on ,I watched 👀 Lost In Space. One of my favorite episodes is when Herman is taking pictures in the park,and, the statue came to life and ran 🏃♂️ away!!! PRICELESS!! Did I say old? I meant old school 🏫
R.I.P. fred gwynn , great actor and illustrator. he had the hardest makeup job, but he did it and made his character a lovable oaf.
Great documentary and show!
i loved this show as a kid.. and watched reruns for decades.. its amazing it only lasted a few seasons.. it was hilarious, had A list actors, and great set ups and scenes.. this, and the Addams Family, were absolute MUST SEE TV back then..
Fred Gwynne was also in "Pet Sematary", My Cousin Vinnie" to name a few. Ivonne DeCarlo had a long list of movie credits..and was gorgeous in her own right..
and lets not forget the cars... ooooooh. loved those dragster styled hot rods.. even had models of them later on i put together, painted, was really proud of..
A Wonderful trip down a long memory lane... some of this i had completely forgotten, glad to see the Munsters in all their glory again.. thanks so much ! !
RIP George Barris creator of the Munster Koach and the Batmobile.
I enjoyed the Munster's and the Aadams Family very much while growing up. Someone of the day thought to interview a psychiatrist about the shows thinking they would trash them. The psychiatrist declared them to be the two most wholesome and loving family shows on TV.
Absolutely loved this show... Collecting all the Munster model cars, action figures, and bubble gum cards sure was great fun... Great memories!!!
Loved this and Adams family...Made kids with weird and dysfunctional families like me feel they weren't alone out there.

Fred Gwynne was robbed in the Oscar for the movie " My cousin Vinny". He should've won for the best supporting actor. Not even nominated too. What were they thinking?
I grew up watching this, one of my all-time favorite TV series. A timeless classic.
It was great seeing those famous monster model kits from the early 1960s in this terrific show. I remember all of my friends eagerly awaiting the next model kit, featuring Dracula, the Frankenstein monster, the Wolfman, the Mummy, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, Mr. Hyde and even King Kong and Godzilla.
I remember that Revell and Monogram Models also had model figures of popular super heroes like Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, the Hulk and Captain America.
They would all look great on the mantelpiece today in 2022.
It was truly a great show. I have many fond memories of the show. I loved the show and still catch it from time to time. I wish there were shows like this still today. I was lucky to grow up in this era.
One of my very favorite TV shows when I was growing up. Loved how they so valued good manners and good citizenship. Trivia note : Every episode contained the use of fast motion filming of some sort or another. Film speeded up. Always funny.
I remember my dad coming home from work, the family having dinner, and all of us gathering around the television to watch The Munsters. Great memories.
Although I think The Munsters is terribly goofy, I LOVED watching Munsters reruns when I was growing up in the early '70s.
The first Marilyn was pretty, and still is in this documentary !!
