A double-dose of Munster mayhem!

When you talk about classic television sitcoms, a lot of titles come to mind. However; there was, and always will be, only one sitcom like 'The Munsters'. With its unique take on an average American family, the ghoulish residents at 1313 Mockingbird Lane have left a permanent place in our hearts. The original television series first ran on the CBS network from 1964 to 1966. It starred Fred Gwynne as Herman, Yvonne DeCarlo as Lily, Al Lewis as Grandpa and Butch Patrick as Eddie. Beverly Owen and Pat Priest would both portray the role of Marilyn. After 70 episodes, the show was removed from the network; however, a full-length color feature film was produced in 1966 for theaters. Entitled "Munster, Go Home", it told of how Herman inherited an English estate and title of Lord Munster from a deceased uncle. In this film, Marilyn was played by Debbie Watson. 15 years later, they reunited for a 1981 made-for-TV movie called "The Munsters' Revenge", which was about Herman and Grandpa trying to clear themselves of being wrongfully accused of a series of robberies which were pulled off by 2 robot doubles. This time, Marilyn was played by Jo McDonnell and Eddie was played by K.C. Martel. Now, these 2 films are brought together into a double-disc DVD package that perfectly compliments the original television series. The Munsters were always a lot of fun to watch. And, this two-movie fright fest shows that they still are a laugh riot!
