Re: Fred Gwynne

Strange the pilot being in colour then the series i b and w.

I remember it being on bbc 2 but ages since it was on love it.

Never heard of the one that was made a few yrs ago.

Great cast tho for the original too
cant believe it aint on dvd.
Mite be on youtube

the pilot episode was made in colour.the rest of the series was b&w.
The colour series you are thinking of would probably be that awful remake with john schuck (or whatever his name was).
There was a new munsters show made a couple of years ago but not as good as the original .at least,not according to my american friend who watched it.
Nobody could play hermie baby like fred did,anyhow.

I agree it was better than the addams family.

No, i do not think the new one made a year or 2 ago has been on tv anywhere but the U.S.A.
It hasn't been on tv here in Oz,anyway,and i have been looking out for it.Could be on YT but i haven't looked.

The original series is available on dvd at Amazon U.K

Only one way to find out...

Personally, I found the Munsters so much funnier

Re: Fred Gwynne

White on black and white tv.....but i've seen it pink and lilac in photos too.

And Herman was green.I don't know why they made him green as he's supposed to be the Frankenstein monster and in all the Frankenstein films i've seen the monster has never been green.

Re: Fred Gwynne

Perhaps they modelled Incredible Hulk on Herman & Herman was green after all
