FG is Irish . That's what his daughter said on the A&E bio of him.
With the last name of 'Patrick', I'm guessing Butch is Irish too.
The two Marilyns look sooooooooooooooo Nordic! Even if their hair is bleached.

Don't forget, after Herman left Dr. Frankenstein's lab in Germany, Herman moved to England and was adopted by a family named "Munster", which gave him a last name.

Go here = http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/profile.php?do=editavatar

Then get a small pic and upload it to sitcomsonline.

PS. I don't why Herman doesn't have an English accent. Grandpa said Charlie was the one with all the class, so...
