That's why I put "Other" for the last choice. Incase anybody had a favorite I didn't list. :)

The top 15, are my personal favorites. It would have been silly to list all 70.

My obvious favorites are (#36) "Hot Rod, Herman" and (#49) "Herman's Driving Test" because of all the Kool Kar Kontent! (If you know what I mean...)

Because of George Barris Kustom Kars.

He did remarkable work, making the Munster's cars.

I don't know if I would want a Drag-U-La, but I do want a Koach. I would take it out on the highway, and race it around a bit.

To me, the Drag-U-La seems too low on the ground, and can be hard to see with the organ pipes and exhaust pipes on top of the car.

I'm gonna let Dirtprod handle this one :)

I don't know much about the cars, just that they were built by George Barris.

George Barris did a car for one of Bob Denvers other series The Good Guys it is neat looking but not as neat as the Munsters cars.

The site is centered on the original cars, but both original and replica's (which I now call Repli-Koach and D'replica,) are represented on the site.

Yes, gilligan fanatic, Barris did create a bunch of cool TV cars! Tom Daniels designed both the Munster cars and Barris Kustom did a great job making them come to life. Both are classic!

The original Koach is in the Cars of the Stars museum in England (http://members.aol.com/cotsmm/cots.html). (The most recent picture (http://tinyurl.com/4w8on) I have the museum sent me over a year ago.) The original Drag-U-La is hanging from the ceiling inside the Planet Hollywood restaurant located inside Caesar's Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. (Recent Drag-U-La pictures here!

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention this, but, my favorite episode is #55, Just Another Pretty Face.

I think Fred Gwynne deserves a round of applause for his performance in that episode :clap

From the list I voted for "A Visit From Johann". Alot in that one that breaks me up.
Other favorites:
"Far Out Munsters" A sort of time capsule of the time, with the beatniks and the Beatles stand-ins The Standels. It also has one of my favorite moments with Grandpa blowing cigar smoke out of his ears as he swings to the Standels.
"My Fair Munster" 2nd pilot. I've said it before, I love the grotesque makeup they had initially. The alternate theme song and stairs sequence also is enjoyable.
"Yes, Galen, There Is A Herman" Grandpa's blunt and gruff command to Galen to keep quiet during the movie makes me laugh for some reason. Harvey Korman as the psychiatrist is funny, too. "Stay away from the windows!"

I've never seen a really bad episode of THE MUNSTERS, but my all-time favorite
has to be "Just Another Pretty Face." It gave Fred Gwynne a chance to play
Herman without makeup, and he gave a brilliant performance.

...because of the time-honored slapstick tradition of the "painting a white line down the middle of the house because two people can't stand each other"...in this case, it's Herman and Grandpa. And it's FUNNY!!!! It's a beautiful episode from start to finish!!!!

My sentiments exactly tv knowledge fan. I like how Lilly dealt with the situation when she got fed up with the childish antics, lol. I loved A House Divided.

I like "Lily's Star Border", especially when Herman calls and says from a TV survey company. The line "are you by any chance acting out your own Peyton Place is a scream. I also like "The Most Beautiful Ghoul in the World". It's hilarious and also features the great character actress Elvia Allman (Lucy's candy factory boss and Selma Plout #2 from Petticoat Junction). Zombo is another. There's just too many to mention by these are at the top of my list.

My favorite one is Far Out Munsters with The Standells singing "I Want To Hold Your Hand". I think they do one other song called "Do the Ringo" or some title like that. The guy who was reciting that weird poetry was funny. It made no sense.

My second favorite is "If a Martian calls, Hang Up"
