terrible... so disappointed.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Matialth
Good concept, poorly executed.

Disappointment for a huge fan!

As far as I'm concerned, THE MUNSTERS featured the quintessential American family: eccentric, perhaps, but quintessentially American. That they all looked like they'd just stepped straight out of a classic Universal horror movie (with the notable exception of Marilyn, who actually turned out to be a shape-shifter of sorts...) only added to their many charms. Though the level-headed head of the household, Herman was often just a great big kid at heart, with an infectious laugh and boyish charm; Lily Munster, if not THE sexiest woman to ever ramrod a telefamily, was certainly Number Two- and I never laid eyes on Number One; and Grandpa was that iconic family elder who dispensed the Wisdom of the Ages with a mad cackle and an abra cadabra. Eddie was lucky, indeed, to have been surrounded by such a loving family unit. Santa Claws dropped off THE MUNSTERS: A TRIP DOWN MOCKINGBIRD LANE by Stephen Cox just a few days ago, and I've been immersing myself in all things Munster ever since. None of the subsequent attempts to revive the show ever came close to the charm of the original (the MOCKINGBIRD LANE debacle of just a month or so ago has to be by far the worst of the worst); but, as long as Home Video exists, THE MUNSTERS will live on (and on, and on).

One of the greatest television shows of all time in My opinion is the Munsters! The show starred legendary actors Fred Gwynne, Yvonne De Carlo, Al Lewis, Beverley Owen, Pat Priest, Butch Patrick, and Mel Blanc! First I will want to commentate about the characters and the actors who played them and then I will talk about why I think this program is one of the best. I am just thrilled about how these actors are in this great series. Fred Gwynne was just incredible. Being a large fellow already was something but becoming Herman Munster he became huge! I was so surprised how agile he was. He had such a charming personality as well. Yvonne De Carlo was already a beautiful woman but I thought that she was so neat as Lily! Her character is one the most beautiful woman character that I haven seen on the screen! Al Lewis' Grandpa is such a hilarious charmer. He is arguably the most talented actor of all time. Beverley Owen and Pat Priest both gave the Marilyn character great personality. My favorite is Owen's Marilyn. Butch Patrick's Eddie was good a very good personality as well. Mel Blanc's raven was cute! The other animal characters such as Kitty and Spot were also cute. I loved the guest stars that appeared in the shows. The sets such as the Munsters' house and such all looked realistic. I loved the spookiness of the series and how it was like Halloween all the time! In My opinion each and every episode was great and funny. The theme music by Jack Marshall was also very good. I think that this series is just wonderful and that in My opinion its arguably the greatest one ever. If you can watch this show on TV strongly I recommend it and I also strongly recommend that you head over to Amazon.com and purchase the First Complete Season of The Munsters on DVD! I strongly recommend The Munsters!

The release of The Munsters first season is a nice addition to anyones collection.very sixies in its humour and sometimes very silly it is still a great family comedy.The sets and backgrounds are very Universal Studios .the characters are funny and the fact they don't know they are monsters is part of the humour.except for being monsters they act like any sitcom family from the 60's .the series has a long list of character actors guest stars who most old TV show fans will recognize.besides who wouldn't love the Munster Koach and Dragula ,two of the coolest cars ever to be on a TV show[hey i'd drive them if i had them].bottom line for me is its a enjoyable show and i enjoy watching it.

Munsters, The (1964) has to be one of the most overrated t.v. shows of all time. I found this show to be lame and unfunny. What's so entertaining about this show? I don't even know anybody that likes it. Dude, this show is whacked and is so not funny. I can't express my sheer hatred for this show. I have see a lot of bad television but this one has to rank high upon the list. The only thing that can possibly be worse than this one was the "New Munsters" that can out over twenty years later. Can some one tell me what's funny about a old Dracula, his daughter, some scary looking kid and a Frankenstein's Monster knock-off? Hell, Yvonne De Carlo wasn't even hot when this show aired (believe me she got rougher looking over the years). Besides that, what was so memorable about this show? In my view one of the most overrated series to ever hit the airwaves.Best to avoid, seriously!D-To this date I haven't found a single person who enjoys watching this show. Maybe one day I'll find someone. Someday I'll meet someone who'll admit to actually liking it!
