What's your favorite?

gilligan fanatic · 03-10-2005, 04:49 PM

From the list Grandpa Leaves Home, but other ones not on the list are The Musician, Cryando de Munster, Herman Picks a Winner, Underground Munster, Herman the Rookie, and any episode with Paul Lynde as Dr Dudley.

Munsters#1 · 03-10-2005, 06:57 PM

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.

gilligan fanatic · 03-10-2005, 07:01 PM

Grandpa Leaves Home is still one of my favorite episodes anyway so it realy doesn't matter. I like every Munsters episode actualy

dirtprod · 03-14-2005, 03:06 PM

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...)

My best,

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.

gilligan fanatic · 03-14-2005, 04:59 PM

where are the Munsters cars now. dirtprod are the ones at your website the original. or is it a reporduction.

Munsters#1 · 03-14-2005, 05:14 PM

I'm gonna let Dirtprod handle this one

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

gilligan fanatic · 03-14-2005, 05:20 PM

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.

Munsters#1 · 03-14-2005, 05:38 PM

I'm gonna have to agree with ya on that one!

dirtprod · 03-14-2005, 07:06 PM

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. (The most recent picture 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!)

My best,

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

(The little pic above is one that Dirtprod colorized in a previous post.)

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!"

gilligan fanatic · 03-15-2005, 04:21 PM

I need to visit those places someday. That would be a neat trip.
