Munsters#1 · 01-09-2005, 09:25 PM

I remember watching The Munsters on my local network a few years ago, and they were playing UN-CUT, UN-EDITED, UN-CENSORED EPISODES!!! Since I had never seen the show before I got the full impact! And loved it! My very first episode I ever watched was, believe it or not episode 14 "Grandpa Leaves Home". Ironically the very first ep with Pat Priest. After my network stopped playing the episodes, I felt that I would never see them again. Luckily I found out about TV Lands chopped episodes. The first big change I noticed was that for some reason TV Land took all season 2 episodes and combined the opening theme with the opening transition. (Now I really can't wait for the season 2 DVDs. We will finally see the original opening credits.) Well, nevermind, I'm getting sidetracked.

Do you remember your first episode, and would like to talk about it?

The first episode I can remember is "Munster Masquerade" on September 24, 1964. Granted, I don't remember it that well.

But, I do remember my Dad reminding me the new monster series was coming on. And me setting on the floor in the living room to watch it. I also remember Herman in the armor. It's only 40 years ago...

Wow! You started right from the beginning. You can't get any better than that! Did you stay and watch all 70 eps or did you start watching Batman in 1966?

I think we watched Batman, but any time they were reruns, we'd watch the Munsters. (I think so, anyway... Like I said it was a long time ago.) I sort of remember all the episodes from back then, so I'm not really sure.

Batman (Thursday nights) ranked #4 at the end of the 65-66 season. Which means The Munsters finished about 36.

1966 was not a good year for The Munsters

But maybe it was all for the best. I think Fred Gwynne would have killed himself if he had heard that the series was going to be picked up for a third season. I know he was always hot and sweaty under that suit and makeup.
