Beaver house shown on Munster's ep.

[comet97]

In tonight's MUNSTER'S episode called 'A House Divided" you can see the Beaver house in the background when Herman drove little Eddie's Go-cart all over the street.
After all, they were neighbors right? (LOL) :wave:
Also shown were many '64 Plymouth and Chrysler automobiles too.

Interesting! With regard to those fine automobiles, Chrysler corporation was really promoting their products, weren't they? There sure were a lot of Plymouth Belvederes, Furys, and other fine Chrysler cars on Pine Avenue. Save for an rare Ford, just about everyone had a Chrysler product, either on the street or in their driveway. LOL!

Me, I'm more partial to GM products. Love those old Corvettes, and Chevy BelAirs and Impalas from the 50s and 60s!

Yeah Boomer…In the earlier seasons 57,58,& 59,they were all Fords,Edsels and Catalacs all over the place. Go figure.(lol)
I haven't watched too many eppies of The Munsters, but I suppose there were many more times they showed the Beaver house in the background.

Also in one episode of Beaver, Gilbert and Richard were throwing rocks at the Munsters' house. This is because both shows were made by the same company. ;)

It was the second house with the flower boxes in the windows.
They showed it so fast,but you could see it just fine.

It was neat seeing it. lol

Another thing that happened on the Munsters:

In one episode, Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell) guest-starred and he and another guy were investigating the Munsters' home.

Eddie sounded different, because he wasn't sounding all goofy-like, like he was around Wally

Ever see the 1964 movie "Send Me No Flowers"? That film shows the Beaver Pine Street house many times (in "Living Color").

Good flick too, with Paul Lynde hysterical as the cemetery plot salesman.

That one I didn't see either HwTH212.
What was the name of the ep,do you remember?

The 2nd house was also used in the Humphrey Bogart movie, "The Desperate Hours." The movie was filmed in 1955, so that facade existed a good five years before the Cleavers moved into it, which was around 1960 or so. LOL!

I saw that movie a long time ago. Great flick!
So they used the 2nd house huh? How about that.

[1954Boomer]

Of course, the interior shots are totally different, It's funny because after I recognized the outside, I was trying to find some similaries in the interior as the Cleavers---but alas there were non to be found.

[David VP]

That's right!
I'd forgotten about "The Desperate Hours" showing the Beaver abode.

Good flick too. :)

I guess they had to make a lot of changes to it huh?
Either that,or build a new house,but I don't think they would do that. ...nah. lol

BTW: You're getting this answer much later than you posted it Boomer,
because I was out all day,and just got in at 9 PM.

Yep, in one of the LITB episodes I saw The Munsters house. I didn't see their house on The Munsters, though. I've seen both of the "homes" or facades in person and they really are pretty close, they're at the Universal Studios tour in Los Angeles.

Actually, the 'Cleaver' house facade was built for this movie. In fact, until it was used in LITB several years later, it was referred to internally at Universal as the "Paramount House". This is because The Desperate Hours was a Paramount movie (they 'rented' the backlot street for the movie).

The interiors for Beaver and for Desperate Hours were of course entirely different sets built in sound stages.

Also, the original Cleaver house facade was moved from its spot on Universal's Colonial Street in 1989 and is no longer on the tour route. The house you see if you take the tour today is the one built for the 1997 LITB movie- a vaugely similar house, but not the same one at all.
