Herman's Twin Is A Crook 29 March 2007 | by ccthemovieman-1 (United States) – See all my reviews Uncle Charlie, Herman's twin brother, complete with Tweed coat, ascot and English accent, is visiting and Herman isn't happy. He knows Charlie is a crook, but can't prove it. At least Marilyn is on his side. It turns out Herman is right as Charlie gets a phone call from another crook, played by movie actor Mike Mazurki.. Charlie is going to try to sell a phony uranium-making machine to the Munsters. Lily and Grandpa believe in him but Charlie finds out the Munsters have a rich widow neighbor, Mrs. Cartwright, so he heads in that direction to sell the machine to her. Overall, this is first so-so Munster episode. Every one up to now has been a strong one, so I'm not complaining. 4 of 4 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

Yes Herman Munster Explained Herman Munster Explained A decrepit body with a pickled brain Spouse: (Constructed in either 1812 or 1815) Lbl23: Data23: 1313 Mockingbird Lane, Mockingbird Heights Herman Munster, 5th Earl of Shroudshire, is a fictional character in the CBS sitcom The Munsters , originally played by Fred Gwynne . [1] The patriarch of the Munster household, Herman is an entity much like Frankenstein's monster , comparable to Lurch on the show's competitor, The Addams Family . [2] Origins In the context of the series, Herman was created in 1815 at the University of Heidelberg by Dr. Victor Frankenstein . Work on him was finally completed around 1850 (neither Lily nor Grandpa is quite sure when) along with his twin brother Charlie. Leaving Germany for Great Britain at a young age, Herman was adopted by the Munsters of Munster Hall, a noble family living in the fictitious Shroudshire, England. At some point Herman moved to Transylvania (a region in Romania ), where he met Lily Dracula .

In 1865 (technically at the age of 15, but physically older) Herman married Lily, and eventually the couple and Grandpa (Lily's father) moved to America , where Herman joined the U.S. Army , fighting in World War II . Family relations In The Munsters Today , he is given a younger brother named Frank. And in the 1995 movie Here Come the Munsters he is given a sister named Elsa who resembles the Bride of Frankenstein . She is also married to Mr. Hyde , who transforms into Dr. Jekyll . In the series Herman is employed by Gateman, Goodbury and Graves, a funeral home in Mockingbird Heights, having started out as a "box boy." Herman's co-workers sometimes remark on his height and strength, but otherwise do not appear to find his appearance and color (green) out of the ordinary. Occasionally, Herman is picked up by "the company car" (a hearse ), which he climbs into via the back door and rides as if he were a body being delivered. Description Herman is a good-natured clumsy, buffoon.

Despite having been alive for centuries, he behaves rather childishly, often throwing temper tantrums, punctuated with thundering animal-like roaring. He is very kind to everyone, but he is also very naive, often misunderstanding situations or falling for various schemes. He occasionally has problems recognizing when someone has malicious or dishonest intentions towards him. Most people, however, flee in terror on seeing Herman's monstrous visage, which he always attributes to something else. In some instances, his presence has caused inanimate objects or artwork to come to life and flee in terror: such as a statue of Daniel Boone in a park, a stuffed gorilla in a museum, and a graffiti drawing of a face in a jail cell starting out smiling and the facial expression changes to terror. Herman is incredibly strong, once lifting a solid metal demolition ball casually with one hand. He is almost immovable; a number of times, cars have run into him without causing him injury. A safe fell on his head ("John Doe Munster") and gave him amnesia, although it did not hurt him. When asked how much he weighs, Herman says: "Three spins", meaning the dial on the scale goes around three times.

In the episode "Herman's Lawsuit", his driver's license gives his weight as, height as, and eyes as brown. Herman considers himself handsome (as does the rest of his family) even though he can crack a mirror by looking at it, once even cracking a shiny frying pan he looked into. In one episode, Herman is struck by lightning, reverting to a "hideous" form (actually Fred Gwynne without any make-up). He tries to hide his appearance from all those around him until two more lightning strikes make him a woman first and then the second one reverts him back to "handsome" Herman. When frustrated (often), he tends to stamp like a child having a tantrum causing plaster to shower down from the ceiling. His strength is especially useful around "the Parlor"—he can lift occupied caskets unassisted. Herman has a very distinctive laugh... a loud braying bellow. Occasionally he is shown grunting and making guttural sounds (similar to Boris Karloff's Frankenstein monster), usually when he's hungry, impatient or getting annoyed over a minor problem (such as finding his Sunday newspaper).

In keeping with his childlike personality, Herman loves balloons, candy, and especially his wife Lily's pancakes. He plays with toys, such as his son Eddie's cowboy hat and cap pistols (in "Herman's Happy Valley"). He loves to read comic books despite Lily's annoyance at such childish behavior. Despite being of German origin and having been raised in England, Herman speaks with a cultured American accent. He does however read German newspapers, which is subtly shown in at least one episode: He is reading a paper, conversing about an unrelated topic, and as the camera gets close enough to his face, it can be seen for a fraction of a second that it is Die Zeit , in episode "My fair Munster", he reads " Die Welt ". Merchandising In 1964 Mattel came out with a Herman Munster doll that could speak 10 "Munstrous" phrases at random with the pull of his "Chatty Ring". This was a spin-off of their highly successful Chatty Cathy doll for whom the talking mechanism had been invented.

The Herman Munster doll was on the market for 2 years, as was a Herman Munster talking hand puppet , which, when the string was pulled, played an additional 10 phrases. Both toys had the same head and hands made of a composite green vinyl Mattel called, "Plastisol". These two Munster toys are great favorites with collectors today and command top dollar at toy shows and online auction s. When Herman's Chatty Ring was pulled he would say phrases such as, "Hello there, I'm your new babysitter" or "I like the Beatles ...real beetles " all in Fred Gwynne's voice.

Running for two seasons on CBS (September 24, 1964 - May 12, 1966), The Munsters was a sitcom that featured a family of working-classic monsters who resided in the fictional town of Mockingbird Heights. Unlike the well-to-do Addams Family (which ran concurrently) Herman Munster, husband and father, worked for the local funeral home while his wife Lily was a home-maker. The Munsters lived in a run-down mansion at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, which featured a dungeon/laboratory, and housed the family's pet dragon, Spot, under the staircase. The family also had two automobiles, respectively known as the "Munster Koach" and the "DRAG-U-LA". The show was filmed in black and white and was very much a comedy.

Unfortunately it did not perform as well as expected and was eventually dropped from the CBS lineup. In the late 1980s the series was revived with a new cast and plot, airing 72 episodes from 1988 to 1991. There were also several movies made, featuring the original and new casts, including Munster, Go Home!, The Munsters' Revenge, Here Come the Munsters, and The Munsters' Scary Little Christmas The Munsters have attained cult status in the worlds of pop and goth culture. Own the Munsters on DVD! Herman was portrayed by actor Fred Gwynne. Herman Munster The 5th Earl of Shroudshire Begun in 1815 by Dr. Victor Frankenstein but not completed until 1850, Herman Munster moved from Germany to Great Britain at a young age. He was eventually adopted by the Munsters of Munster Hall, a noble family living in (fictitious) Shroudshire, England. Moving to Transylvania, Herman met and fell in love with Lily Dracula. At the tender age of 15 he married Lily.

Herman, his blushing bride, and her father Sam Dracula moved to America and settled into the house their home at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Herman enlisted in the United States Army, fighting in World War II. After his discharge, he found a job at Gateman, Goodbury and Graves, a funeral home in Mockingbird Heights. Starting out as a "nail boy", Herman has moved up in the ranks. Herman also has a twin brother named Charlie. Going as Herman? Physically, Herman Munster is an impressive character. He stands roughly 7'3" and weighs "three spins" of the scale, or around 380lbs. Because he is a creation of Dr Frankenstein, he sports bolts on either side of his neck. His skin is green-hued and his eyes are brown. His hair is black and his head is flat on top. Although incredibly old, Herman tends to act very childish at times, even throwing temper tantrums. This is especially troublesome since he is so tall and heavy. Acting the Part Most people see Herman as a good natured, loving, and kind.

He's like a gentle buffoon who can get into serious trouble but always makes things right in the end. Herman believes himself very handsome, even though he cracks mirrors when he looks in them. Lily was portrayed by actress Yvonne De Carlo. Lily Munster Countess of Shroudshire Born in 1827 to Sam Dracula and his 166th wife, Lily Dracula grew up in Transylvania. She was in her late-30s when she met Herman Munster. The two married in 1865, emigrating to the United States in the 1940s. Lily is devoted wife and mother, to both her adopted niece Marilyn and her son Eddie. She is a housewife, relishing in her daily chores of spreading garbage and "dusting" the manor with a vacuum cleaner running in reverse. At times she grows rather restless and has tried her hand at several part time jobs, including working as a welder in a shipyard, a fashion model, and a palm reader.

Lily and Herman were the first couple shown together in bed on an American television series, which was ground-breaking as up until then married couples were always show sleeping in separate twin beds. Lily has a brother who is a werewolf and a sister. Going as Lily? Although Lily is well over 100 years in age, she has the lithe body of a young woman. Her skin is pale green. Her black hair is long, with white streaks, one flowing from the right front part. Lily is usually wearing an ankle-length pale pink gown that appears faded and old, sometimes covering up with a shawl. When she goes out she tends to wear a long silver cape with a hood. Lily also wears a necklace with a bat-shaped medallion. She never seemed to have any specific powers like her father, Grandpa. Acting the Part As matriarch of the Munster family, Lily is as much a mother to her children as well as Herman. She adores her husband and worries about him. She has an independent streak as well, trying to find work outside the home fairly frequently. Lily is a vampire, like Grandpa. Grandpa was portrayed by actor Al Lewis.

Sam "Grandpa" Dracula Count of Transylvania Over 500 years old, Count Sam Dracula is a widower, although he has been married 166 times. Holding various jobs during his long-life, Grandpa is first and foremost a vampire. He has three known children: Lily Munster, Lester Dracula and the mother of Marilyn Munster. Keeping a laboratory in the basement of the Munster's house, Grandpa spends a lot of time "in the lab" working on spells and potions. Although most of them have disastrous consequences this hasn't stopped him from keeping at it. Grandpa is able to transform into the form of a bat or a wolf with the aid of special pills. Although he has a good relationship with his son-in-law, he is particularly sarcastic and likes to insult Herman. He and Herman usually work together in whatever cockamamie scheme one of them has cooked up. Going as Grandpa? An elderly gentleman, Grandpa is always seen wearing in a black tuxedo jacket, with a white shirt and bow tie. He wears a gold medallion as well as a cape with a high collar. His skin is pale green, like his daughter Lily's.

His hair is parted down the middle and curls up on the sides. He is the real Count Dracula. Acting the Part Grandpa is a bit of a know-it-all when it comes to magic spells. He is also witty with a sharp tongue. He tends to get into trouble either by helping Herman or hatching a scheme on his own. Grandpa is a loving father and grandfather. Eddie was portrayed by actor Butch Patrick. Edward Wolfgang "Eddie" Munster Son of Herman and Lily Born to Herman and Lily Munster in 1954, their first born son Eddie is a werewolf. He is also the typical American ten year old boy, loving to play sports like baseball. Eddie tends to get into mischief and looks up to his father and Grandpa as role models. Eddie also sleeps in a coffin, as his mother Lily is a vampire. Some of Eddie's toys include a large, over-sized bat, a sling shot, and his stuffed werewolf doll he calls "Woof-Woof". Going as Eddie? Eddie is always seen wearing what is known as a Fauntleroy suit.

Named for Little Lord Fauntleroy, it is a boy's formal suit that was a fad in American middle-class children. Consisting of velvet cut-away jacket and matching knee pants, with a white dress shirt with a collar underneath. Eddie also wears a velvet tie. Ironically, the Fauntleroy suit fell out of fashion after World War II, before Eddie was born. His hair forms a "Widow's peak" in front and he has heavy eyebrows. Eddie also has pointed ears like a wolf. Acting the Part Basically Eddie is like any normal ten year old boy. He just wears different clothes and happens to be a part werewolf, part vampire. Marilyn (Mundane) Munster Lily's Niece Moving from her home in Transylvania to the United States, Marilyn now lives with her aunt Lily and uncle Herman so she can attend college. Her mother, never named, is Lily's sister and Grandpa's other daughter. Considered freakishly unattractive by the rest of her family, she is still treated with love and kindness in spite of her "condition". Marilyn constantly bemoans the fact she cannot get a date because of her looks.

Raised all her life around vampires, werewolves, ghouls, and freaks, she shares the family's ideas of "normal". Marilyn considers Herman and Grandpa to be "two of the finest men to walk the Earth". Marilyn was portrayed by Beverley Owen for the first 13 episodes of the series before being replaced by Pat Priest. Going as Marilyn? An outgoing blonde, Marilyn is an attractive (by human standards) young woman. She attends college and is always trying to meet prospective dates. Although she looks different from the rest of her family, she holds to their standards of "beauty". Usually dressed in a stylish dress in a nice floral print, Marilyn is slim-figured. Acting the Part Suffering under the humiliation of her "homeliness", Marilyn thinks nothing is unusual about the fact that her aunt is a vampire, her uncle is Frankenstein's monster and her cousin is a werewolf. "Normal" frightens her. Who's your favorite Munster? Get big and green this Halloween! 0 Oh, the costumes you'll wear this Halloween, with all your favorites: red, white, and green!

Grandpa's Drag-u-la racer was only used in one episode, despite being shown in the end credits of every 2nd season episode. Beverley Owen played Marilyn for the first 13 episodes and Pat Priest replaced her for the remainder of the series. 'Beverly Owen' , who played Marilyn Munster in the first 13 episodes, is a natural brunette. She wore a wig, and her hairline was often covered up by a headband. Pat Priest, who played Marilyn for the remainder of the series, is a natural blond, so that is her natural hair. This show and its "rival" series "The Addams Family" (1964) both debuted within a week of one another in September 1964.

At the end of that year's TV season, this show ranked #18 in the Nielsens, with a rating of 24.7, while The Addams Family came in at #23, with a 23.9 rating. At the time, Nielsens indicated what percentage of American TV households tuned in to any given program. By the end of the following year, both series were cancelled. There was only one Drag-U-La (Grandpa's coffin car,) built for the show. It now hangs from the ceiling in Planet Hollywood in Atlantic City. There have been several replica's built since. Eddie's pet dragon that lived under the stairs was named Spot. Eddie's stuffed wolf was named Woof-Woof. Grandpa's pet bat was named Igor. Other member's of the Munster family were Lily's brother (and Grandpa's son) a werewolf named Lester and Uncle Gilbert, the Creature from the Black Lagoon. The Munsters lived at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, Mockingbird Heights. The uncredited voice of The Raven was supplied by Mel Blanc. On the rare occasions Blanc was unavailable, the Raven's voice was supplied by Bob Hastings.

Grandpa wasn't Grandpa Munster. He was Lilly's father, and their family name was "Dracula". Eddie's full name was Edward Wolfgang Munster. This series' title was supposedly derived from combining the words "fun" and "monsters". The Munster Koach, and the Dragula car were both built by Hollywood car customizer George Barris. Fred Gwynne also played Herman's twin brother Charlie and a reject creation of Doctor Frankenstein's named Johann. In the episode "Just Another Pretty Face", Fred Gwynne appears without his makeup. In that episode, Herman was struck by lightning and was turned into a "normal" human being. Beverly Owen's final episode was "Family Portrait". For the first 13 episodes, in which Beverley Owen played Marilyn, Fred Gwynne appeared last in the opening credits. When Owen was replaced by Pat Priest and the sequence had to be re-shot, Gwynne appeared first in the credits. Since there were no further cast changes for the second season, the credits remained in that order for the remainder of the series.

Bill Mumy was the original choice for Eddie Munster, but his parents didn't approve of the extensive makeup that would be used for his character. He would eventually guest on the episode "Come Back, Little Googie", playing an incorrigible brat, during the first season. The character 'Herman Munster' was ranked #19 in TV Guide's list of the "50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time" (20 June 2004 issue). Contrary to popular belief, The Munsters were not the first couple on TV to share a bed. It was real-life couple Mary Kay and Johnny Stearns on their show "Mary Kay and Johnny" in the late 1940s. The name of the funeral parlor that Herman worked for was Gateman, Goodbury and Graves. The occasional role of Mr. Gateman was played by John Carradine. During the series, each episode was filmed with only one camera. As there was no studio audience to contain, it was possible to only need one camera to get various shots during a scene.

the Munster koach built by Barris Kustom Kars The Koach was made from 3 Model T bodies and is 18 feet long. To accommodate the five members of the Munster family and meet their specific requirements Barris used a 133 inch frame. Each member wanted a compartment so a fiberglassed 1927 model "T" body was grafted into a six-door touring roadster with three compartments including a laboratory for Grandpa Munster and a hansom cab rumble seat for Eddie. It has a four speed manual transmission and a power rear end. The brass radiator and fenders were hand formed. In 1964, the cost to build the first one was $18,000.00. It had "blood red" velvet interior. It took 500 hours to hand form the ornate rolled steel scrollwork. It had Gloss Black Pearl paint. The front end had a dropped axle, split radius rods and T springs. The studio gave George Barris 21 days to complete the car. Powered by a 289 Ford Cobra engine from a 1966 Mustang GT.

Built with Jahns high compression pistons, ten chrome plated Stromberg carburators, an Isky cam, and had a set of Bobby Barr racing headers There are 2 Koach's gets three miles to a gallon of embalming fluid. Optional goodies that were added to the interior for the Munster’s pleasure included, a Muntz stereo tape recorder, Sony TV, and two antique French telephones. A special Autolite electrical system was needed to make these extras operative. The Munster Mobile which reached a top speed of 150 M.P.H. (0-45 in 7.2 seconds, 0-60 in 10 seconds, 0-80 in 15.4 seconds) Dragula Built by Barris Kustom Cars A coffin on wheels it was created for a cost of $10,800. This dragster goes from 0 to over 180 mph in a matter of seconds with a parachute for brakes. An ornate Owens-Corning Fiberglass casket, trimmed in royal purple velvet silk and embodying a very lively 350 H.P. Ford Mustang engine with a 12 volt Autolite electrical system.

The exterior of the casket, which rests on a tube chassis has a quiet antique gold finish with sedate Italian gold leaf. Appropriately, the dragster accommodates one person. He is positioned in the rear of the dragster behind the engine and under a clear plastic bubble which allows greater speed through streamlining. At his command is a four on the floor speed shift which diverts the power of the 360 cubic inch engine to the rear wheels, 11 inch Firestone racing slicks mounted on specially made 10 inch deep Rader drag Reynolds aluminum wheels. Up front are imported Speedsport English buggy wire wheels with 4 inch Italian tires. The radiator is a casket in a casket solid brass by Radiator Dynamics, and the grille is a marble gravestone with the following inscription: Born 1367, Died ? The Drag-u-la has dual 4 barrel carburetors with a Ram-thrust MT manifold and bat-shaped forced-air scoops. Gas is consumed at a rate of 4 gallons per mile of embalming fluid pushed by the high powered Dupree Chrome Dome electric fuel pump. Antique head and tail lights with solid silver spiders on the hub caps carry out the funeral motif.

Spouting out of the side of the coffin almost like a cluster of flowers, is the engine Huth exhaust system ala metal organ tubes that are tuned.
