The Munsters had a short run of only 2 years, but at thetimethey shot alot more episodes rgan us coimmon today. It was very popular, but widely dimissed by critics exhibitying rtheor 'sophistiction'. 'The Munters' was in fact an enjoyable playful spoof of horror movies which featured a grade school boy. The program soon developed a cult-like following. There are only as hand-full of black and white TV programs that continue to be popular. The humor is corny, but the characters are so engaging that the show is great fun. One HBC reader comments, "I thought "The Munsters" were hilariou and still enjoy seeing the reruns." The show was still highly rated when it was cancelled in 1966 for reasons that weren't made known. I think CBS executives were trying to "upgrade" their programming and thougt Herman and the gang a bit beneath thre dignity of an august network. The actors in the series, despite the brief run, were forever stamped with their roles. The Munstetrs haven proven emensly popular in sindication. The series has held up much better than more popular and more respected programs. The Minsters has come to be shown on television around the world--perhaps even appearing back in Transylvania.
