Best things they did where get rid of wolfie boy & his momma & filmed it in black & white. I also thought that Pat Priest was a better Marilyn than Beverly Owen. Cheers.

In this initial "demonstration film" [designed to sell the show to the network], only the first half of the script was produced. When the series was sold as a weekly series, a complete episode was filmed.
@fromthesidelines11 жыл бұрын
The show was filmed in black and white because CBS, the network that originally telecast it, was not carrying ANY color shows when it premiered in September 1964. By the time they began colorcasting about half of their prime-time schedule in the fall of 1965, "THE MUNSTERS" stayed in black and white.

partly out of spite-- RCA developed color for its televisions and of course RCA owned NBC, so many of NBC shows went to color early to provide color programming for RCA tv sets. CBS did not want to help RCA so many of their shows stayed in black and white for longer than they probably would have otherwise.

A couple things: love the colorized version, Herman was a lot scarier looking, the actress portraying Herman's wife couldn't hold a candle to Yvonne Dicarlo and this episode actually DID air--only with Yvonne Dicarlo as Lily. OK, so it's more than a couple things. LOL
