Fun Stuff

Trivia:
For the first 13 episodes, in which Beverley Owen played Marilyn, Fred Gwynne appeared last in the opening credits. When Owen was replaced by Pat Priest and the sequence had to be re-shot, Gwynne appeared first in the credits. Since there were no further cast changes for the second season, the credits remained in that order for the remainder of the series. more
Goofs:
Plot holes: It's made clear that Marilyn is from Lily's side of the family, yet her last name is 'Munster'. Marilyn is Lily's sister's daughter, so Marilyn should have had Lily's sister's last name, which would not have been 'Dracula' if Marilyn's mother was married and had a married name. Lily's sister may have married a Munster too, but then that doesn't explain why Herman often says that Marilyn's looks have nothing to do with his side of the family. Apparently, Marilyn has simply taken the Munster family name. more
Quotes:
Lily Munster: When is that silly bird going to get girls off his mind?
The Raven: Nevermore, nevermore.

Although I liked the Addams Family quite a bit, the Munsters were it for me. Let's face it, grandpa make the show: without him a lot of the flavor would have been lost. I felt that he should have been on much more than he was. Marilyn, on the other hand, could have completely disappeared and I would never have noticed. Of course, the entire cast was great, the jokes were side splittingly corny, and the atmosphere of the house was nice and spooky.
