What are those hills in the background called? I didn't know there were mountains in Brooklyn ;)
There is an episode (perhaps the same one) in which Hermann tries out for the LA Rams with a cameo by Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch before he moved back to Wisconsin to become the beloved (and very successful) athletic director for UW-Madison.
97 is kind of late, isn't it? That is well after the show.
What an ace television program that is. It shows the struggles of people who don't identify as rigidly human that by facing the struggles bravely and growing by them and allowing their otherness to flourish the family members individually triumph over adversity prejudice and institutional biases. Filmed in black and white for a gritty film noir edginess that contributes to its maladjusted disturbing gothic nature.
I never saw the show until reruns and I was all, whoa, Dude, the excellent things that you missed like Petticoat Junction and Green acres and filmed in color, both after Munsters and those other guys too, the Adam's family, both those offbeat goth families. Bewitched, b/w and color and Jeanie. Missed all that.
However, we did see Batman. The only thing in English as if kept that way for English lessons. Then when the words come on worrying the little children about how Batman and Robin will get out of that episode's mess, the words are faded out and replaced with Japanese words. For an odd twist. Although the original voice still reads it in English.
@Chip: The original Aurora kits were from the 1960's and early '70's. A NYC artist named James Bama did much of he box cover art. The company was sold and many of the original plastic injection molds were put into storage. The 1990's saw a revival in interest and a new company called Polar Lights (get it? Aurora/Polar Lights) acquired the know-how to remake the original Aurora kits. The eBay link is deceptive in that it's probably a Polar Lights kits and not an Aurora one. An original unbuilt Aurora Munsters kit is probably worth some serious money.
