The Munstersis an Americansitcomdepicting the home life of a family of benignmonsters.The series starsFred GwynneasFrankenstein's monster[Notes 1]Herman Munster,Yvonne De Carloas his vampire wifeLily,[2]Al LewisasGrandpathe agedvampireCount Dracula,[Notes 2]Beverley Owen(later replaced byPat Priest) as their nieceMarilyn,andButch Patrickas theirwerewolf-like sonEddie.The family pet, named "Spot", was a fire-breathing dragon.

Produced by the creators ofLeave It to Beaver,the series was asatireof American suburban life, the wholesome television family fare of the era and traditionalmonster movies.[3][4]It achieved higherNielsen ratingsthan did the similarly macabre-themedThe Addams Family,which aired concurrently onABC.

In 1965,The Munsterswas nominated for theGolden Globe Awardfor Best Television Series[5]but lost toThe Rogues.In the 21st century, it received severalTV Land Awardnominations, including one for Most Uninsurable Driver (Herman Munster).[6]

The series originally aired on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. onCBSfromSeptember 24, 1964toMay 12, 1966.Seventy episodes were produced. The show was canceled after ratings had dropped to a series low in the face of competition from ABC'sBatman.[7]Patrick said, "I think 'Batman' was to blame. 'Batman' just came along and took our ratings away."[8]However,The Munstersfound a large audience insyndication.A spinoff series ensued, as well as several films, including one with a theatrical release and several more recent attempts to reboot it.[9]

Premise

[edit]

The Munsters are aTransylvanian-American family living at 1313 Mockingbird Lane in the fictional city of Mockingbird Heights.[Notes 3]The series' running gag is that the odd-looking family with strange tastes considers itself to be an average American family.[10]Herman is the family's sole wage-earner, although Lily and Grandpa make short-lived attempts to earn money from time to time. While Herman is the head of the household, Lily also makes many decisions. According to episode 44 ( "Happy 100th Anniversary" ), they were married in 1865.

Other than Marilyn, the characters' costumes and appearances were based on theclassic monsters of Universal Studiosfilms of the 1930s and 1940s, including the iconic version ofFrankenstein's monster[11]developed byJack Piercefor the 1931 Universal filmFrankenstein.As Universal jointly producedThe Munsters,the show was able to employ the copyrighted designs. Makeup for the series was credited toBud Westmore,who pioneered many other makeup effects and designs for the studio's monsters after Pierce.

The show satirized the typical family sitcom formula of the era: the well-meaning father, the nurturing mother, the eccentric live-in relative, the naïve teenager and the precocious child. The show also references several real sitcoms. In episode 45, "Operation Herman", Lily tells Herman to have a father-son talk with Eddie because "a thing like this is up to the father. Anyone who's watchedFather Knows Bestfor nine years ought to know that, "to which Herman replies," All right. ButDonna Reedalways handles things onhershow. "In episode 47," John Doe Munster ", Grandpa describesMy Three Sonsas being about a "crazy, mixed-up family that's always having weird adventures."[Notes 4]

Al Lewis explained, "We can do a lot of satirical pointed things on society that you couldn't do on an ordinary show." Lewis also said, "Philosophically, the format is that in spite of the way people look to you physically, underneath there is a heart of gold.[12]

The Munstersreflected changes in social attitudes during the civil-rights era, and in 2020 a speech that Herman makes to Eddie in the 1965 episode "Eddie's Nickname" wentviral:"The lesson I want you to learn is that it doesn't matter what you look like. Whether you are tall or short; or fat or thin; or ugly or handsome—like your father—or you can be black, or yellow or white, it doesn't matter. What matters is the size of your heart and the strength of your character."[13]

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

The idea of a family of comicalmonsterswas first suggested toUniversal Studiosby animatorBob Clampett,who developed the idea from 1943 to 1945 as a series ofcartoons.[14]The project did not make progress until mid-1963[15]when a similar idea was submitted byThe Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and FriendswritersAllan BurnsandChris Hayward.The proposal was later handed to writers Norm Liebman and Ed Haas, who wrote a pilot script,Love Thy Monster.

According to Burns, "We sort of stole the idea fromCharles Addamsand hisNew Yorkercartoons.... Because Universal owned the Frankenstein character and the Dracula character for movie rights, they decided to take their characters instead of the characters we had written. "[16]

While some executives believed that the series should be animated, others who argued for live action prevailed. In 1964, a live-action pilot titled "My Fair Munster" was filmed in color byMCA TelevisionforCBS.[11]Fred GwynneandAl Lewiswere the first to be cast early in February 1964. They had recently completed the seriesCar 54, Where Are You?and had good chemistry together.Beverly Owenwas signed to play Marilyn,Joan Marshallwas cast as Herman's wife Phoebe and "Happy" Nate Derman was cast as Eddie. A second pilot was ordered in April 1964 withYvonne De Carloreplacing Marshall, and the character renamed Lily. For a third pilot, Derman was replaced byButch Patrick.CBS liked both De Carlo and Patrick, but ordered a fourth pilot in which Eddie was less spoiled.[citation needed]

The show was produced byJoe ConnellyandBob Mosher,who were already known for creating theLeave It to Beavertelevision series. Prior to that, they had written many episodes ofAmos 'n' Andy,a popular network radio program, during its half-hour comedy era.

Filming

[edit]

Over the course of Season 1, the makeup for Herman, Lily and Grandpa was adjusted. Lily's hair originally had a large white streak, which was reduced in later episodes. Her necklace featured a bat instead of a star, and her eyebrows were angled more. Grandpa's makeup was exaggerated, including heavier eyebrows, and Herman's face was widened for a dopier and less human appearance. Gwynne also added a stutter whenever Herman was angry or wanted to make a point, and he frequently left his mouth open, adding to the effect of a goofy, less frightening figure.

Sets

[edit]
Main article:Munster Mansion

The Munsters' home was a decayingSecond EmpireVictorianGothic-style mansion located at 1313 Mockingbird Lane in Mockingbird Heights. The town's location is not specified in the series, but in later incarnations it is described as a small town outside Los Angeles.

Herman and Lily in the kitchen

The Munster home was located on the Universal Studios backlot. It was originally constructed with two other houses on Stage 12, the studio's largestsoundstage,for the 1946 filmSo Goes My Love.After that film was completed, the sets were placed into storage until 1950, when they (along with other house sets built from stock units) were reassembled on Colonial Street. All three houses were seen in many television shows and films, includingLeave It to Beaver.[17]

In 1964, the house was redressed as the Munster home and a stone wall was added around the property. AfterThe Munstersended its run, the house was restored. It was the home of the family inShirley(NBC, 1979–80).

In 1981, all of the homes on Colonial Street were moved from the north end of the lot to their present location. The former Munster house was used inCoachand, after another remodel,Desperate Housewives.

The interiors of the Munsters' mansion were filmed on Stages 30 and 32 at Universal Studios. The interior was riddled with dust, smoke and cobwebs. (When Lily "dusted" the house, herElectroluxemitted clouds of dust, which she applied to surfaces that would normally be cleaned.) As a running gag, parts of the house would often be damaged, mostly by Herman's tantrums or clumsiness, but the damage would not last.

The Munster Koach

Props

[edit]

In the fourth episode ( "Rock-A-Bye Munster" ), Lily buys ahot rodand ahearsefrom a used-car dealership and has them customized into one car (theMunster Koach) as Herman's birthday present. The Munster Koach andDRAG-U-LA(built by Grandpa in episode 36, "Hot Rod Herman" ) were designed by Tom Daniel and built by auto customizerGeorge Barrisfor the show. The Munster Koach was a hot rod built on a lengthened 1926Ford Model Tchassis with a custom hearse body. It was 18 feet long and cost almost $20,000 to build. Barris also built the DRAG-U-LA, a dragster built from a coffin (according to Barris, a real coffin was purchased for the car), which Grandpa used to win back the Munster Koach after Herman lost it in a race.

Theme song

[edit]

The instrumental theme song, titled "The Munsters' Theme", was composed by composer/arrangerJack Marshall.[18]Described by writerJon Burlingameas a "Bernard-Herrmann-meets-Duane-Eddysound ",[19]the theme was nominated for aGrammy Awardin 1965. The song's lyrics, which were written by coproducer Bob Mosher, were never aired on CBS.

Episodes

[edit]

Pitch episode

[edit]
The original cast in 1964

The firstpresentationwas filmed in color and ran 16 minutes (later cut to just over 13 minutes). It was used to pitch the series to CBS and its affiliates. (The episode is available on the first season ofThe MunstersDVDs.) It never aired, but the script was reused as the basis for Episode 2, "My Fair Munster". The cast in the title sequence includedJoan Marshallas Phoebe (instead of Lily), Beverley Owen as Marilyn, Nate "Happy" Derman as Eddie, Al Lewis as Grandpa and Fred Gwynne as Herman. Although the same house exterior was used, it was later changed to appear spookier for the series. This included adding the tower deck and Marilyn's deck, a new coat of paint and enlarging the living room. Although Grandpa had the same dungeon, Gwynne did not wear padding in the pitch episode, had a more protruding forehead, and was broad but thin. The most noticeable difference was his somber expression rather than his comic silliness during the series.[19]Except for Marilyn, the family had a blue-greentintto their skin. The biggest character difference was that Eddie was portrayed by Derman as a nasty brat.[20]Eddie, as played by Patrick, was mostly respectful.

The pilot title sequence had light, happy music borrowed from theDoris DaymovieThe Thrill of It All[21]instead of the instrumental rock theme. It was also decided that Marshall too closely resembledMorticia Addams[21]and that Derman was too nasty as Eddie, so both were replaced.[21]On the basis of the first presentation, the new series, still not completely cast, was announced by CBS on February 18, 1964. A second black-and-white presentation was filmed with DeCarlo and Patrick. In this version, Eddie appeared with a more normal look, although hishairstylewas later altered to include a pronouncedwidow's peak.

Marineland Carnival(1965 Easter special)

[edit]

During the first season, the Munster family appeared in an Easter special when they visitedMarineland of the Pacificin Palos Verdes, California, to get a new pet for Eddie. Shot on videotape, the episode aired just once on CBS on April 18, and was long thoughtlostuntil a copy was donated to thePaley Centerin New York in 1997.[22][23]

Merchandise

[edit]

Gold Key Comicsproduced aMunsterscomic bookthat ran for 16 issues from 1965 to 1968 and featured photo covers from the TV series. When the series first appeared, theComics Code Authoritystill forbade the appearance ofvampiresin comic books. However, because Gold Key was not a member of theComics Magazine Association of America,it was not obligated to conform to the Comics Code, and Lily and Grandpa appeared in the comics without controversy.

Other merchandise included a set of rubbersqueaky toys,Colorforms,and anAuroramodel kit of the living room and family. AMT produced model kits of the Munster Koach and DRAG-U-LA. The Aurora model of the living room featured Herman in his electric chair, Eddie squatting in front of the fire, Lily knitting and Grandpa hanging in a bat-like manner from the rafters. Marilyn was not included. ERTL later produced a very detailed 1:18 scale diecast of the Munster Koach. Mattel issued two Herman Munster dolls: one was a talking doll and the other was a hand puppet (both with rings that could be pulled to make them talk utilizing Gwynne's actual voice) that were issued from 1964 until around 1968.

A video game based onThe Munsterswas published by Again, Again (a division ofAlternative Software) in 1989. It was available for theAmstrad CPC,ZX Spectrum,Commodore 64,Amiga,Atari ST,MSX,andMS-DOS,but it was criticized by the gaming press because of its short length and lackluster gameplay.[46]

In 1990,Atari CorporationreleasedMidnight Mutantsfor theAtari 7800,featuring Al Lewis' likeness in his Grampa Munster character on the box and label. However, as Atari had reached an agreement with Universal, they could not call him Grampa Munster, so he was simply called Grampa.[citation needed]

In 1966, a three-reelView-Masterset featuringThe Munstersepisode "The Most Beautiful Ghoul in the World" was released, accompanied by a booklet containing drawings and additional text. The set is notable because the photographs provide rare color views of the characters and sets, including house interiors, Grandpa's dungeon laboratory and the characters' heavy greenish-white facial makeup.
