    Fred Gwynne was absolutely amazing. His portrayal of Herman without the makeup shows just how much a good actor can do with pure skill. ❤

    My mom had a children's book that Fred wrote after his time on . She lost it in a move as a child; I found a copy of the book at a book sale four years ago and bought it for $0.50. I gave it to her for her birthday, and she burst into tears, asking me where I got it. I told her I'd found it at the book sale I was at and how much it cost and she was stunned. Come to find out, she'd written her name on the first page when she was a child, and what had made her cry was that when she opened the book, and looked at the first page, it was her signature staring back at her.

The Munsters will I think be in RE-runs for 100 years it is timeless and entertaining with out filth.
