To turn something as fearsome as the Frankenstein Monster into a character as lovable as Herman Munster, was one of the many magical talents of Mr. Fred Gwynne. RIP big guy.🖤🖤🖤
I’m so jealous ❤️ I watched reruns all the time when I was growing up but they stopped playing them before I even got to middle school. This was one of my favorite shows to watch.
What a voice this man had! Instantly recognizable! I have listened to episodes of CBS Radio Mystery Theater with Fred Gwynne. Very talented voice actor/actor/artist/musician/singer/painter/sculptor/writer/illustrator!! Fred Gwynne was a man of many talents. Wish he could/would have made more movies. I always wanted to see him in a romantic comedy playing the lead male role. I mean yes he was good playing a supporting actor, but I would have liked it if he played the lead role. Even playing a lead male role in a suspense/thriller would have been nice! But it is what it is. We all have the shows/movies that he did make for us to enjoy and watch. I will say that his performance in the movie "Disorganized Crime" was really good. He had quite alot of scenes in that movie. Another movie he was good in, which had a twist ending that I didn't expect, was the movie "The Vanishing Act". He was such a joy to watch in anything he did. He is such a handsome man with beautiful features and a VERY unique voice. He was such an imposing, towering figure of a man standing 6'5" (and according to other reports, 6'6"). I think 6'6" sounds more accurate. I wish I could see his performances when he was on Broadway in the "many" musical productions he did, but I guess there is no video of any of those anywhere. And to think, that people told Fred Gwynne to not get into acting because he didn't have the look (he was very tall, had a long face with a lantern jaw). I mean not your typical look for a handsome man (but I am attracted to men like Fred Gwynne who are different looking and "unique"). So, I am glad that Fred Gwynne didn't listen to those naysayers. If he did, we wouldn't have all the wonderful movies and TV Shows that he did. Thank you Fred Gwynne, for all that you have done/accomplished in your lifetime! You have left behind a wonderful legacy for your family, your friends, and most importantly, your fans!! We love you, Frederick Hubbard Gwynne!! 🥰❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🥰
😅😅😅😅😅😅🤓😆I can't stop laughing to this day when this is shown, Fred Gwynne was very talented. The guitar he was really playing it! All of that is still funny Spot the pet Dragon, The Black Crow in the clock, and the roaring domestic 🐈 cat! Herman is so hilarious! 🤓😆😅😂
I agree that cat was fabulous Miss Kitty one episode Herman lay down on the couch and Miss Kitty jumped on top of him looking for an ear scratching it was so good they kept it in
Sing-a-long-a-Herman!😁 Actually, it just occurred to me he sounds like Phil Harris when he sings! Phil Harris, for those who aren’t sure, voiced Baloo the Bear in Disney’s The Jungle Book amongst others.
Yvonne De Carlo was beautiful, even as Lily, I have a beautiful Model of The Munsters Koach and a book about The Munsters , That Yvonne De Carlo and Butch Patrick did
This is EASILY one of my favorite clips from The Munsters!!! Watching that crazy Blackbird, and hearing him say that, plus having Spot roar his approval-TWICE!!!-and then catchin' that Black Cat roaring that loud growl of approval..... Yep! It's a hit!!!!!
There's a local music store nearby that has some specialty guitars, one of which is a Fender Telecaster with an image of The Munsters. It made me think of this scene.
I am an Aussie Baby Boomer, born in 1962. We loved watching this here in my Country. Why you Americans took it off air after only two seasons, is a joke. No excuses in the comments please.
joke, folks down under , get your facts straight watch the documentary . one of those facts that Herman aka, Fred Gwynne , could not do it anymore . batman and robin also contribute as well , Munster's rating's were actually sinking . Fred Gwynne was also getting sick , from losing weight extremely fast . Due to the costume he was wearing , it was really dangerous. I am not much of a sitcom fanatic , how ever when it came to watching the Munster's that show was hilarious . years later from watching that Documentary Fred Gwynne actually put his life in danger to make people laugh . and he was good at it . And when it comes to yuttts Fred Gwynne good role model .
Love how he's actually playing and singing so many would be miming and randomly strumming but he's picking out the tune. The line about his neck bone being bolted to his head bone finished me.
@@briandavis3832 Fred Gwynn was quite talented as an actor performing on live stage as well as being a gifted artist. He wrote and illustrated several children's books.

It's not a coinsidence they look alike. Since The Munsters was produced by Universal Studios they had the rights to Boris Karloff's old costume.
Fred Gwynn’s career since then has shown some of his great talent!
Watch themall
Herman had a good voice. That deep baritone.
Yes I agree Herman Munster 😂 great singer
I was 11 years old when the Munsters came out. I was one of the kids that would excitedly wait for "my show" on Thursday nights
I’m so jealous ❤️ I watched reruns all the time when I was growing up but they stopped playing them before I even got to middle school. This was one of my favorite shows to watch.
Alonso ASenJo Same here. I had a Munsters lunch box also. I alternated between my Beatles lunch box and Munsters lunch box.
That cracks me up. And I really loved when Herman(or Fred)laughs like that. It was funny and hilarious.
Herman Munster had the best laugh ever. 🤣

🥰❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🥰
I remember watching this with my grandpa! RIP Grandpa!
My favorite munsters❤😊
I remember watching this as a kid growing up.
Yes I agree I remember it in the 70s, when I was a kid 😂
"Sing it Charlie, sing it"
That raven kills me.
😅😅😅😅😅😅🤓😆I can't stop laughing to this day when this is shown, Fred Gwynne was very talented. The guitar he was really playing it! All of that is still funny Spot the pet Dragon, The Black Crow in the clock, and the roaring domestic 🐈 cat! Herman is so hilarious! 🤓😆😅😂
Fun fact: The Raven in the clock is voiced by Mel Blanc.
Every TV family needs “Spot”.
I agree that cat was fabulous Miss Kitty one episode Herman lay down on the couch and Miss Kitty jumped on top of him looking for an ear scratching it was so good they kept it in
I LOVED it when the raven said; AWK, Sing it Charlie, Sing it, that was SO FUNNY!!!!!! :)
...and he's playing a Martin!!! Herman Rocks!
Im glad that i have all them episodes!!!!!! I love that show.. Grandpa makes me feel good 😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂
Herman, would you like to know what's ticking? A clock on the wall!
Awesome show
Herman could sing well. 🥰
I remember that particular episode. Herman made that song sound so hip and funny, 60s rock n roll kind of feel.
miss this man so much
He was assembled and that's how Hermie baby was born.
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Born can mean "come to life" or "come to be" i.e. "That's how the idea was born" Words can have multiple usages
@@jonnaking3054 your so right
Best show ever! And that’s how Hermy baby was born !! Do do, do do do do do do do do
Yes 😂 awesome show I remember in the 70s, when I was a kid
Sing-a-long-a-Herman!😁
Actually, it just occurred to me he sounds like Phil Harris when he sings! Phil Harris, for those who aren’t sure, voiced Baloo the Bear in Disney’s The Jungle Book amongst others.
That was a Smash Hit Record back in the Day!
My favorite characters is Herman and Lily. This show is awesome
Yvonne De Carlo was beautiful, even as Lily, I have a beautiful Model of The Munsters Koach and a book about The Munsters , That Yvonne De Carlo and Butch Patrick did
What about me?
This is EASILY one of my favorite clips from The Munsters!!! Watching that crazy Blackbird, and hearing him say that, plus having Spot roar his approval-TWICE!!!-and then catchin' that Black Cat roaring that loud growl of approval.....
Yep!
It's a hit!!!!!
That will never gets old.
Herman was everyone's friend
Spot's Voice: Sing it!
Kitty: Sing it again!
How about Spot? "Roooooar!!"
my voice! my voice! my golden throat!!
😂 yes was so hilarious
The Munsters a awesome show I remember in the 70s, when I was a kid.
There's a local music store nearby that has some specialty guitars, one of which is a Fender Telecaster with an image of The Munsters. It made me think of this scene.
It doesn't get any better than this
Wonderful.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Loved this show ❤
Everything may not be his but he's a gentleman of parts!
Great positioning of the fingers to make some great bar chords.
I almost wish my biology teacher would've shown this to my class 😂
Yes 😂 and I remember this in the 70s, when I was a kid
What a great show! I was a baby when this came out but I still love it!
This was one of the funniest segments of the show

I plan in bringin it back.
I will find the person that removed it and punch them in the throat.
The show was canceled because of the silly Batman show having higher ratings. The Munsters is much more entertaining than Batman.
You learned about the USA from watching shows like The Munsters; we learned about Australia from Crocodile Dundee...all 100% accurate.

I remember when he was the judge in my Cousin vinny.
HERMAN , The sweetest and the only one of a kind ", "Monster Clown"❤😱💋
Be strong 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
The doo doo doo doo, is the best part!
i can't stop singing this
Love how he's actually playing and singing so many would be miming and randomly strumming but he's picking out the tune.
The line about his neck bone being bolted to his head bone finished me.
*SQUAWK!*
"Sing it, Charlie! Sing It~!"
Follow the bouncing skull.......priceless.
I really loved that.
Happy Halloween
Herman's top 40.
Love The Munster *
Does Hermann thinks he's another Elvis Presley or the Beatles? Hermann sings is a crack up. RIP Hermann Munsters, Lily Munster, and Grandpa Munsters.
I'm still here.
Best comedy song in the 60s
Fred Gwen, Herman Munster.. so Good times😂
Fred Gwynne was a fantastic entertainer and a hell of a nice guy as well!!!!!
He was so talented.
That sounded real good, actually! Much gooder than it had to be. 😂😂
Just saw the 1989 version of "Pet Sematery" today... hard-to-belive this is the SAME ACTOR!!
He can sing !
He’s cute 😍😗😍😍👍🏽😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fred rocked it.
Love it...
That's actually him playing his personal Martin OM....
I love this! Lol
I like the funny song😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Herman is a good guitarist :)
Load and clear, Spot!
That's our Herman! Singing or being threatened by the martians who will blow up the earth because of him, we still love him!
This is good music not like all the junk out there today
Agreed
WAP
Most people don't even know that "Dem Bones" was inspired by Ezekiel in the Bible. Original lyrics started with "Ezekiel connected dem dry bones..."
Gotta love Spot!
Brilliant lol
Classic! FG had a really good voice.
Funniest thing ever. 😂
Fred had a great voice
LOLO !!! Sing it charlie SING IT !!! AAWWKK!!! ❤❤❤
The guitar sound is dubbed but honestly his chord progression hand movement looked great
I think he could actually play based on his fingerings.
“Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo!”
I didn't realize Fred could sing!
Sang It Herman!
I like when they played the song an the radio and grandpa said it sounded like a werewolf with linguistic.
I was 3. When the Munsters came out? 😁 1964.
Just for curiosity. Somebody know the accords played on the guitar?
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Fred Gwynne looked like he was really playing that 🎸. Wonder if he had lessons or played IRL.
I play guitar, he s playing the correct chords.
Yes he's playing he was a man of many talents.

brillent
Hermie-baby! 😂
made me laugh! x
Does anyone know what season or episode this was on ? thanks
Season2 episode 12
They didn't recognize Herman's voice when they heard it on the radio.
Let I'm have it Hermie baby
Herman stomps his foot 1:10 and no usual earthquake-like effect? 🤔
Nice old Martin guitar.
Funny Herman corn
Haha!🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s really playing, too! He is lifting his fingers to mute the chords and they are the actual chords.
Shoulda used the version after he ate the Nothin' Muffin. ;)
Hahaha!
Looks like he was really playing guitar!
He was an accomplished folk guitarist before he was an actor
He’s got a great voice too!
typo. Leg bone to knee bone....
Man. Ron Perlman would make an awesome Herman
He would be amazing…but no one will ever be better than Fred Gwynne
