The pale and deathly-looking set of characters were loosely based on a number of popular figures from horror films, and included: Head of the family, Herman Munster (Fred Gwynne); His demure wife Lily (Yvonne DeCarlo); Grandpa (Al Lewis); Herman and Lily's son, Eddie (Butch Patrick), and their niece Marilyn (Beverley Owen). Plenty of laughs were provided as the group of misfits attempted to assimilate themselves into society, although most of the chuckles were to be found at the gag-fuelled ghouls' highly gothic-looking residence, 1313 Mockingbird Lane. This release presents the entire first season of the classic show. [More]

If you are a fan...the clarity of the video will draw you into this, as well as the chance to catch the unaired pilot.

All the jokes tended to be the same ones, over and over again.
