Just wondered if that was tolerated or ever happened.

I think only the laughs were added by the actors. They pretty much stayed to the script.

.... they probably threatened them that they'd beat em with a stick if they ad libbed.

Have you ever noticed Eddie moving his lips to his friends lines in the Zombo ep? When they are hanging out on the porch, Eddie mouths all the guys' lines.

I tried busting him doing in other scenes but can't

In "Movie Star Munster", when Jesse White mentions the ice cream truck, it seems Fred Gwynne's attention is diverted and White needs to nudge him into responding.

Never noticed that, Laugh 30, but I'll watch for it.

Was Tom getting his hand hit by the shutter in Munster Masquerade staged or an accident? I can't tell. Beverley Owen's reaction seems kind of spontaneous.

Looks like it was done on purpose to me.

I seem to remember Eddie almost wiping out as he ran down the stairs in the episode where HM is coaching him in sports.
Hey, it's getting kinna fun picking on BP as a child!
