    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The first season opening credits were an outrageous parody of the opening credits of The Donna Reed Show (1958), which always began with Donna Reed lovingly passing out lunches to her departing family members as they left the house one by one. Yvonne De Carlo, as Lily Munster, did the same thing.
    • Goofs
      In the first season's re-shoot of the opening credits, in order to introduce Pat Priest, as Fred Gwynne/ Herman is bending over to kiss Lily, it's possible to see Butch Patrick/ Eddie's legs moving, on the right balcony (upper right-hand screen corner), as he positions himself to come down the staircase for his introduction.
    • Quotes
      • Lily: Eddie! You better start dawdling, or you're going to be on time for school!
    • Crazy credits
      The episode titles are shown on screen following the opening credits sequence. Even in modern sitcoms, this is rare.
    • Alternate versions
      The American DVD releases and most streaming versions include replacement music in the episodes "The Sleeping Cutie," "Dance with Me, Herman," and "Far Out Munsters."
    • Connections
      Featured in The Wonder Years: Buster (1991)
