"Event Magazine" has chosen, among its 800,000 subscribers, the Munster family as the "average American family of the year" which means a prize of $5,000 plus a full picture story of the family for the magazine. Harvey Korman plays the magazine photographer assigned to 1313 Mockingbird Lane to photograph the entire family and get their story. Fred Beir plays the reporter. The two also are supposed to spend the weekend at the house!
Everyone is thrilled about the honor except Grandpa, who is insulted to be called "average" and will not be part of the deal, which could ruin everything. He plans on disappearing.
The reporters only see Marilyn for the first few hours, so have no idea what they are in for, except for the weird-looking house. Once again, a so-so episode. The earlier shows in this first season seem to be better, but I expect it will pick up again.
Note: this was Beverley Owen's last appearance as "Marilyn." From what I have read, she only intended to do the pilot show for this program and was upset when CBS picked up the show. After 13 weeks, she got her wish and was released from the program, succeeded by Pat Priest (who was better, anyway, in my opinion.)
