Fred had a face like rubber, so interesting to watch him make Herman's facial expressions. What a versatile actor and actually handsome. They used a big plasma ball for effect.
Compare his expressions to those of Monica Horan who played Amy on "Everybody Loves Raymond". Very similar. Wouldn't be surprised if they were related.
I love that Herman just embodies the sophisticated, gentle giant aspect of the original monster from the book Frankenstein, while also capturing the essence of the movie monster. 😍 That’s good acting right there!
The gentle giant aspect was primarily from the movies. In the book the monster (Adam) was truly monsterous inside and out and kills many innocents just to get revenge on his creator. While Freaneknstin is no saint his monster definitely takes after his creator.
The 60's was the greatest decade for comedy TV. The Munsters, The Beverly Hillbillys, Andy Griffith, Bewitched, I Dream of Jennie, Laugh In. So many more I forget to mention. The 60's was a great decade for laughs...
Thank you for all of these clips! The laughs are healing. The writers must of had such a good time writing these episodes. Timeless humor that lasts through the generations.
Truly from the brighter side of darkness. No other series on TV has shown so much warmth and affection of our true "diamonds in the rough" inner selves. Good chemistry in these actors/actresses.
The purity of this "scary" show is still so great, and if you really think about it, they promoted acceptance of what someone looked like on the outside because once you met them, they were all good inside despite a little strangeness! This show was against judgment of different looking/acting people. Loved it for a lifetime! Thank You! 🥰
I love the opening of the second season of The Munsters when Lilly checked for rain, I have a beautiful model of The Munsters Koach and a beautiful book about The Munsters, that Yvonne De Carlo and Butch Patrick did
I laughed when Herman was going off to work as a cocktail waitress and Marilyn says "good evening aunt Herman" and Lily telling him not to let the customers get fresh.
The way Grandpa cackles, he'd've been perfect for the role of the Joker on the Batman tv series instead of Cesar Romero. But somehow I just can't think of Grandpa as a villain.
Too many times the dang laugh tracks are ridiculous. My children who now have families of their own wanted me to watch ‘The Big Bang Theory’ as I haven’t ever watched it. I do love ‘Young Sheldon’, such a great series (Ian Armitage is fantastic) and it doesn’t use a laugh track.........thank goodness! Well I started watching the first season and that over loud and stupid laugh track is very irritating.........especially when it’s played during scenes that are just not funny or it is rather inappropriate.
Thank you for the English caption. I’m deaf & watched this when I was little but had no way of understanding what they were saying. I just followed their actions & face expressions.
I want to thank you for bringing me back to a TV show I loved growing up, and especially a few of my favorites. This is one of them. I couldn't stop laughing when he was turned into a woman. Move over Mrs. Doubtfire and Madea, for Herman Munster was the first. FredGwynne you was a spectacular actor, and so missed.
@@allme2547Well, when your are a "Hyper Kid" with too much Energy! Just a Memory but Fred Gywnn did other stuff year later that reminded me of His Relaxing Voice, I Love that F***king Show!! Dean
Ahhaahh I hadn't never seen this but Omg! That was rich ! I love The Munsters show and especially Herman. That was Hilariious !! Hahaa !! But Omg! I was glad to see Herman back to his normal self laughing like he does !! :) Man we had the best cartoons, shows, and movies back in the days.. Didn't we !!
That's the running gag of the show, Marilyn's looks. To us she is the normal one of the family, to them she is the odd one out, any way they treat her with love and kindness. Lily sees her more of a daughter than a niece. The Munster lifestyle is completely normal to her.
Love the Munsters, Herman, Lily and grandpa were magic on screen. I watched the show as a child and loved it. Now watching it as an adult I love it even more. I am so glad to have the series on DVD.😂😅
Best wishes for 2021 everyone, who'd have guessed our last one would have been such a kick in the head! Much love 💘 from the Island of Montreal! Josée xo
I just loved it in the air when her man turns back you never get tired of this and I love their when when Eddie says Monday he has to show up there to school and it goes why because it's Father's Day classic and it's still funny love The Munsters I wish it would have gone out three or four season ridiculous how they do the ratings
One of the best classic trademark Munsters in the series loved it and Fred Gwynne still stayed in character with being a lovable Herman you saw the inside come out of Herman Munster and then need that makeup you're still lovable
This episode of the Munsters is one of my personal favorite episodes ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 🤗🤗 And I ❤ the sound of " Herman's ", ( Fred Gwen ), voice ! ! ! ! ! ! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤍
Fun facts: 1. The electrical equipment Grandpa uses in the dungeon was designed by Kenneth Strickfaden for the original Frankenstein movies (starting in 1931). Since those movies were produced by Universal, the equipment--saved since the '30s and '40s--was available for use on The Munsters (also a Universal property). So what you see here are the same equipment and effects used when Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) created the Monster (Boris Karloff). 2. The music heard when the female Herman first shows up coming up from the dungeon and when she comes into the kitchen before going off to her job is an Irving Berlin song, "A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody." 😀
I looked up Yvonne DeCarlo and oh my word she was gorgeous! Not knocking your typical blonde bombshells of the day but I think she was more beautiful. Stunning.

His control of his facial expressions was impressive. That was a lot of work to remember each take. Talent.
This is so much better than any TV shows today.
You said it everything is either to boring or to negative on TV nowadays.
Yeah, this show was a lot of fun!

3:26 I love how overly excited Grandpa gets as soon as he turns on the machine and gets things going. Great writing in this show.
Been looking for this episode for awhile, When grandpa blew herman the kiss I lost it 🤣🤣🤣
Especially the looks aunt herman gave him in response to the kiss lol! Fred gwynnes got brilliantly expressive eyes!
The look on Herman's face when the transformation didn't work out was hilarious 😂
And the music being played when he comes out. Plus the way he looks at Grandpa and Grandpa looks back at him.
I miss shows like this. You know, actors with talent and creative writing!

Here in the UK The Munster's was a favourite show for many of us growing up. Really funny and brilliant actors.
I should’ve been doing my homework.

Greatest mad scientist's laugh of all time.

I'm. 60. Me too. What great memories.
Mines too!!👍
wil be 64 in July
I'm 23 and it's also one of my favorites.
Exactly same here!
Truly from the brighter side of darkness. No other series on TV has shown so much warmth and affection of our true "diamonds in the rough" inner selves. Good chemistry in these actors/actresses.
Somehow, grandpa's laugh never gets old.
He sounds like he's having the time of his life.
You’ve no idea how much i need these laughs these days!
I have never seen this episode despite having watched The Munsters every week since the beginning. Priceless!
When Marilyn says; "Good Evening, Aunt Herman" 😂

Grandpa’s laugh is so contagious 😂😂😂😂
What makes it so hilarious is that when he gets struck by lightning, he also gets his old clothes back too!
Yeah they don't bother with a pretext which makes it that much more hilarious.
If you were a "continuity girl" good luck finding a job at ANY of the sit-coms back then -- or even now?? lol
That gives it more realism.
How can you not love this show?
I love the opening of the second season of The Munsters when Lilly checked for rain, I have a beautiful model of The Munsters Koach and a beautiful book about The Munsters, that Yvonne De Carlo and Butch Patrick did
10:28 "Father's Day." That was my reaction, too! 😂😂

I roared through this whole episode. A cocktail waitress what a hoot.
The writer's must have been doing some crazy drugs.
Herman did look good in that dress 👗
"Don't let the customers get fresh" LOL
I laughed when Herman was going off to work as a cocktail waitress and Marilyn says "good evening aunt Herman" and Lily telling him not to let the customers get fresh.
@@JohnLee-pt5jz I love ❤ that line☺️‼️
Lol.. a young Dom Deluise.
LMAO! He still had some hair.

the laugh track for The Munsters is perfect, it used at the right time
Wow, makes me feel nostalgia for the old days when life was so simple and the Munsters at night!
Grandpa sure is a crazy old Bat!
I like it when Grandpa blows Herman a kiss.
Gee, I remember that scene as a kid. Ah, the 60s.
Yes. It was very funny.
Lol, I would do the same Tbh.. X3
Lily is crazy beautiful.
Remember Yvonne DeCarlo in The Ten Commandments?
Morticia Addams is better looking. In my opinion.
@@lockabar Morticia would be the better one to take a roll in the crypt with... ;-)
Indeed! That is one HOT vampire! Dayum!
@@Pashasmom1 she is so pretty!!!!!
It's Herman, your handsome husband! Lol!
6:25 "Good evening aunt Herman..."
🤣🤣🤣
Never thought I would ever see a " skinny " Dom Deluise !
Thank you!! I was wondering if that was who it was!!
What are you saying? You saying he was fat or something?
Where?
@@supersaxyguy He was the Dr. in this episode of the show. This is a clip from the end the same youtuber has a clip of the beginning featuring the Dr.
And if you want to see a young Dom Deluise in a very serious role (small part) see the movie 'Fail Safe' (1964)
My favorite was Grandpa. Al Lewis was hilarious. I love how Grandpa reacts when he switches his machines on. 3:25 The perfect mad scientist.
He was versatile........a vampire, a sorcerer, a mad scientist. He could do it all.
Bet Herman won't go poking around his lab.

Totally
yea and you van buy the whole series on dvd too^^
So why didn't they "fix" Marilyn the same way? They were forever bemoaning what she looked like.
Because they didn't have blueprints to make her, so they had no way to try and make repairs, as she is already her original, homely self.
She was born that way.
That's the running gag of the show, Marilyn's looks. To us she is the normal one of the family, to them she is the odd one out, any way they treat her with love and kindness. Lily sees her more of a daughter than a niece. The Munster lifestyle is completely normal to her.
Hermans facial expressions were so cool, and enhanced by the make up he wore
The single greatest laugh in tv history belongs to Grandpa Munster
don't call him Grandpa Munster - this script CLEARLY identified him as Count Dracula, lol!
Too funny! Always loved The Munsters. Been a fan since they first came on in the 60s when I was a kid. Still like watching them now too. 😎👍
Love the Munsters, Herman, Lily and grandpa were magic on screen. I watched the show as a child and loved it. Now watching it as an adult I love it even more. I am so glad to have the series on DVD.😂😅
One of my favourite tv shows .. I preferred The Munsters to the other The Adams family.
Is that Dom DeLuise?? Wow!
Grandpa Munster was the man who pioneered electric power. Nicolai Tesla owed all of his success to Count Dracula.
