Rating:  - The Complete Series of the Munsters-Is Great
This was a gift for my husbands birthday, he is really enjoying this series. I received it when it was expected and in the condition(NEW) that I purchased. As always I am a satisfied customer. Thanks Betsy
Rating:  - 5 STAR SERIES STILL GETS 3 STAR TREATMENT
I must say if you're an owner of the previous 2 box sets and the 2 Movie Fright Fest, this new package will probably disappoint. Aside from the colorized bonus feature of Family Portrait, which I would classify as acceptable not stellar, is exactly the same thing. The Menu boards are exactly the same. Season 1 has scene select, season 2 doesn't. Plus every episode of season 2 still has that long get on your nerves UNIVERSAL STUDIOS fanfare. No you can't skip it. It'll just go to the next episode with that same fanfare. The true Munsters fan will quickly cringe at the inferior musical cues substitutes that were not corrected from the previous release. Even the episode Knock Wood, Here Comes Charlie is still recorded at a low volume. Very little effort went into correcting the shortcomings of the previous sets. In fact, aside from the convenience of being transferred to single sided discs there was really no effort at all. Universal studios should fire their lawyers. They should have had the courage to say " This is how the show was made. This is how the show is presented on TV. And this is how we will present the dvd. The same way. We will keep all the original musical cues intact". I guess people with guts are becoming more scarce every day. Really, doesn't Universal have the faith that the profits of a properly made Munsters set would have more than covered the costs of monies owed to other entities that hold the rights to the music. I can understand Disney being difficult to deal with for "Someday ... Read More
Rating: - The Munsters
I got this for my husband's Christmas gift/2008. I always enjoyed the series and he loves it. A shame that they only made two seasons of it.
Rating: - Absolute MUNSTER heaven
Not only does it have the pilot color episode. Not only does it have the color version of "Family Portrait." Not only does it have the two wonderful color movies featuring the lovable Munster Family escapades, but here "lies" all, I repeat, all the black and white episodes ever aired to make your goulish belly laugh, even to this day. The jokes are surprisingly crisp, corny, whimsical, terrific, and completely without shame for the family of the undead. There is no stopping this household brim full of goodies at every corner in the spider webbed palace. Lightning strikes at any given moment, and Spot the family dragon looms in from the darkness with zeal. The episodes and movies are not without fresh ideas with many twists and turns wrapped around the Munster's familiar characteristics. Herman, is without a doubt, the funniest monster ever built, even if his doctor was a "butter fingers." Get this fabulous collection of funny goodies, and laugh til you die. -I mean drop.
Rating: - Broad Horror Spoof on TV
One of the most enjoyable horror spoofs was the TV show "The Munsters," which aired originally from 1964 to 1966. "The Munsters: The Complete Series" contains all 70 episodes of the show's two seasons on 12 discs. At 1313 Mockingbird Lane in Mockingbird Heights stands a musty, cobweb-covered gothic mansion. The residents consider themselves a normal, everyday American family, but to neighbors and viewers, they are a bit odd. Herman (Fred Gwynne), the man of the house, is seven feet tall and looks very much like the Frankenstein monster. His wife Lily (Yvonne DeCarlo) looks like a lady vampire. Son Eddie (Butch Patrick) is a boy/wolf, and Grandpa (Al Lewis) can pass easily for a centuries-old Count Dracula. Daughter Marilyn, who looks strange to her family, is the only normal-looking Munster of the clan. The comedy is very broad in these episodes, and the concept wears pretty thin after a few shows, but Gwynne is always very funny as Herman and Lewis is perfect as his vaudeville schtick melds with his vampire persona. Extras include the two full-length Munsters movies, "Munster, Go Home" and "The Munsters' Revenge," and career portraits of Gwynne, DeCarlo, and Lewis.
