    Frank Gorshin guest stars

    Marilyn needs a car and Herman buys a lemon from a shady used car salesman.

    Gorshin (appearing on Batman as the Riddler that same year) plays Fair Deal Dan in this OK episode. The car he sells to Herman turns out to be stolen and Herman ends up in jail. Funniest scene is a fast motion one as Dan and his gang pack up their used cars and make a getaway.

    • Quotes

      Marilyn Munster: Oh dear, I just feel as though it's all my fault.

      Grandpa: Now Marilyn, don't blame yourself. Your uncle Herman is a born loser.

      Lily Munster: Grandpa, you know that Herman is a kind, trusting soul, with a great faith in his fellow human being.

      Grandpa: You know a better way to be a loser?
