The Munsters: 5 Best Grandpa Episodes
Celebrating Count Dracula’s best times with the family.
Classic comedy series The Munsters (1964-1966), featured a regular, suburban family that just happened to also be related to the Universal Monsters. Herman Munster (a patchwork Frankenstein’s Monster) and Lily Munster (the daughter of Count Dracula) were joined by Eddie Munster (who was part werewolf and part vampire), Grandpa Munster (who was Dracula), and their “homely” niece, Marilyn, who passed for human.
ABOUT THE MUNSTERS
In the pantheon of sitcom families, there are few (if any) as memorable as The Munsters. With 70 episodes airing on the CBS network across two seasons (1964-1966), the show featured Herman and Lily Munster (portrayed by Fred Gwynne and Yvonne De Carlo), Grandpa (Al Lewis), Eddie Munster (Butch Patrick), and Marilyn Munster (first by Beverley Owen, then Pat Priest). Despite airing only two seasons, the show has continued to delight viewers through reruns and a series of reunions, revisits, and reboots.
