Featured review
First 'Munster' Episode A Nostalgic Look At The '60s
In this first official episode, we first see Marilyn on the front porch necking with Tom, her boyfriend. That's to set up the main story, which is that Tom is going to get his snobby parents to invite the Munsters to a masquerade party. Neither Tom nor his parents have seen Marilyn's "family:" her adopted Uncle Herman, Aunt Lily, son Eddie and Grandpa Munster.
Herman isn't thrilled with idea. "If there is anything that is disturbs me, Lily, it's the idea of grown people like us dressing up in costumes and looking ridiculous," says the Frankenstein-like father of this ghoulish-looking family.
The night of party comes and Herman wins first prize after he doffs his King Arthur helmet and has "another costume underneath." Of course, that's the real Herman but nobody knows that but the family....and Lily is furious.
This was a solid introductory show for the family, laying the foundation for the kinds of jokes that were going to be used the next two years. Mainly, that centered around them looking at themselves as normal while normal-looking people look ugly to them!
As a sidebar, I enjoyed watching the baby-sitter, Mrs. Morton (Mabel Albertson), almost get freaked out by the things she saw and heard in the house. It was also fun to see things from the '60s such as expressions of the day and people doing "The Twist" at the party.
