Second Season on DVD package art changed??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Munsters#1 · 09-20-2005, 02:15 PM

I went to Amazon.com to see about Munsters Season 2, and the package art has been changed. It is no longer the pic of Herman with his mouth closed, it's a new design, with his mouth open. But it looks really ugly. I say it changed for the worse.

(Scroll down to look at pix.)

Its the same pic, but they just added a different mouth. I agree with you, it changed for the worse. It looks horrible, and it looks really fake!

I think it's because the digi-pak wouldn't fit inside the first head, so they had to widen it, and the new design really looks bad.

What the heck? That's the ugliest DVD cover I've ever seen! What is with them and combining photos for the Munsters DVD's? I don't get why they just wouldn't use a photo of Herman they didn't need to alter (or a photo of the family on season 1).

They tried to make the new DVD cover like the below photo (left), but I would have preferred regular packaging, and a Season 2 family photo (right).

The photo for the First Season DVD set was off, too, the way they combined early and later makeup of the cast.

I emailed Gord Lacey at tvshowsondvd.com, and he said that Universal doesn't know yet, which package to go with.

But, I have a feeling it will be the second package, because I think Universal wants to play the goofy monster image for kids, right before Halloween.

I like the first one better but I don't think the second one is that bad

I'd have preferred a family portrait with Pat Priest. The manipulated cover certainly looks fake.

Munsters#1 · 09-25-2005, 11:55 AM

OK, now this is getting rediculous!

Here are 4 different versions of Season 2 cover art!

#1 - The graphic at TVShowsOnDVD.com
#2 - The graphic at DVDEmpire.com
#3 - The graphic at Amazon.com
#4 - The graphic at DVDPlanet.com

Guys,

Why couldn't Universal use the same type of regular packaging design like they have for Season 1?

Munsters#1 · 09-25-2005, 02:51 PM

Because Universal wants to be stupid idiots and give us a hard time, and screw everything up!

Irresistible · 09-26-2005, 01:27 PM

If they are going to go with a wider box, they should do picture number 4.

All's I can say is... Wow.

I was wondering if any episode Herman smiles like the new DVD cover. I found one time where he does smile like that. It's in episode 16.
