  2. From Kip Williams over at bsky:

    "I once heard Los Straitjackets play The Munsters theme, and at one point they actually lampshaded the hidden existence of the Mysterioso Pizzicato, upon which the theme is based. I had never noticed!"

    Anyway, could one of you kind of people help me out with a pointer to the exact track that does this? Eternal gratitude in advance."

    Kip is a terrific fellow, and helping him guarantees good karma.

  5. Just realized that this is a similar plot to some of the “Uncle Fester Gets a Girlfriend” from “The Addams Family” show & one of the films.. I guess this is a common occurrence for a cheerfully creepy family

  10. Lily Munster, as played by Yvonne De Carlo, was one of my earliest crushes even before I knew what a crush was. When I became a teenager, I wanted to be a Goth - not for the music, I just wanted to meet girls who looked like Lily. Sadly, growing up where I did, there were no Goth gals and just being a 'nerd' already made me a punching bag; dressing up as a vampire would have been suicide!

    Ah, well. Forgive me, Herman, but I still have a special place in my heart for your wife.

  11. 24th September 1964: The Munsters premiered 60 years ago today on U.S. television.

    I adored The Munsters when I was a little kid (I still do actually). In schoolyard arguments, I always chose the occupants of 1313 Mockingbird Lane over The Addams Family. Not that I had anything against the Addams clan, it's just that I always found the Munsters more lovable. Who wouldn't want Herman, Lily, Grandpa, Eddie and Marilyn as neighbours?

    Happy 60th anniversary, Munsters!
