Did you know
- TriviaThe first season opening credits were an outrageous parody of the opening credits of The Donna Reed Show (1958), which always began with Donna Reed lovingly passing out lunches to her departing family members as they left the house one by one. Yvonne De Carlo, as Lily Munster, did the same thing.
- GoofsThroughout the series, in most scenes featuring flying bats or levitating people, the wires are visible.
- Crazy creditsThe episode titles are shown on screen following the opening credits sequence. Even in modern sitcoms, this is rare.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Wonder Years: Buster (1991)
Featured review
"Herman Munster don't you dare!"
This show can easily be dismissed as being so stupid it's funny, but there's more to it than just obvious jokes with a laugh track. The cast was fabulous but also talented; many having Hollywood careers or television experience prior to the show. Look at all the reincarnations (sorry) of the show and then compare the cast to the original set. No contest. Also the sets and costumes were really cool, who doesn't like Granpa's dungeon or their telephone "booth" or the Munstermobile? Some of the story lines were hilarious but my person favorite is "A House Divided." The only regret I have is that it didn't go on for one more season, who knows, maybe it would have been in ghoulish color!
