The Munsters is a 1960s television sitcom depicting the home life of a family of monsters. It starred Fred Gwynne as Herman Munster, Yvonne De Carlo as his wife Lily Munster, Al Lewis as Grandpa, and Butch Patrick as Eddie Munster. The series ran concurrently with The Addams Family. Although the Addamses were well-to-do, the Munsters were a more blue-collar family. The series aired at night once a week in black-and-white on the CBS Television Network from September 24, 1964, to May 12, 1966, for a total of 70 episodes. Though ratings were low during its initial two-year run, The Munsters grew in popularity during decades of syndication. This popularity warranted a spin-off series, as well as several films, including one with a theatrical release.
