Here, I riff on old TV clips shown on YouTube, and you share in the joy. It's like having me sitting next to you on the couch, but different. Ya know?

The Munsters Pilot
What's the deal with the pilot's theme song, which sounds like about sixteen theme songs in one? Luckily for us, they made some changes, and fast.
Why does every actor who plays Eddie not have a normal first name? Happy Derman? Butch Patrick?
We get to see the classic "Marilyn's date escapes from the Munster house." This one jumps over the wall! Some of them tunnel out, or worse. Good workout!
Judging from what one sees here, Happy Dernan had a much better grasp of what it means to be a boy bat, or whatever the hey he was supposed to be, than Butch Patrick.
I'm guessing they chucked Ms. Marshall (very hot chick) for Yvonne DeCarlo (ex-hot chick turned non-frumpy mom type) because that would play better in the farm communities of Iowa.
