THE MUNSTERS

Grandpa, Hand, Lillie were all good. But Herman and Marilyn were the best. You know, I'm not sure how long the show ran, but it was pretty creative for the 60's.

I didn't realize how pretty Marilyn was. Oh, I knew she was attractive back then, but I would never have put her in the Joey Heatherton, Tuesday Weld, Barbara Perkins class of beauties. I should have. She was just so funny. Or stupid. Not to realize how weird her family was. Even after every boyfriend that met them took off running.

Herman. What a personality. And what a garb to get dressed in for every show. To top it off, he still looked liked Fred Gywnn. I even liked him in Car 54 Where Are You. And that show was not good.

Their house..their car. They may not be too much on re-runs, but they were fun to watch in an era of ordinary tv shows. But compared to today's sit coms, maybe it was the golden age of television.

I wonder what ever happened to Marilyn? Was she type cast after that show? I never recall seeing her again. Maybe she was out of it, and didn't realize how zany (there's a TV Guide word for you) her family was. Naugh.
