Plus, there weren't any home recording devices at the time, so even if you thought you saw something, you'd never know for sure. This probably made it easier to just let things slide and save the budget for re-shoots.
Most of these are not "errors" they just happen and you need a nerd like this to find stuff like this that no normal people would notice or even give a rats behind about!
They weren't overlooked. They were invisible. You must be fairly young since you don't remember the days when television sets were crude little cathode ray tubes with low resolution and mostly blurry pictures and poor reception that was more snow than picture. You probably don't even know what I mean when I say snow. That's an analog thing and if you are under 40 you've probably never seen it and no I'm not talking about the frozen wet stuff that comes out of the sky in the winter.
Honestly, in those days we didn't look for bloopers. We knew that this was TV and not reality. We had this thing called an imagination. We were able to suspend reality and just let it all go as fun. No CG, just TV. Good to see these bloopers though. Thanks!
I'm sure at the time this show was shot, they never dreamed that in 2020 we'd have technology that could pause the action to look for bloopers. Televisions were so small, and mostly black & white, that bloopers were completely unnoticed. If they were noticed, there was no way to rewind and look at them again. It sure is interesting that we can do that now. Thanks for a great video!
There were a few (including one you've shown here) where Herman suffers a blow to the head and his headpiece is visibly pushed down. It happened to Eddie at least once too (in the episode where Herman plays for the Dodgers). I'm still amazed at how great the effects WERE for 1964-66. I'm not convinced they could do a show like this now and get it as perfect as they did back then.
Wow! Gilligan's Island and Munsters bloopers! I'm IN. I loved these shows and have heard a lot of the trivia but your bloopers are like nothing I've ever encountered before. Fantastic work. And you're right, that's definitely not Billy Mumy's hand.
The Munsters is such a cool show! The prop department held this show in the palm of its hand. Thanks for letting us peek behind the curtain! FYI... one of my faves is when Herman takes a job at a laundry establishment. Only Fred Gwen could make it such a believable scene. So child-like and yet ALL ages were watching it weekly!
I loved the b/w format of the show. It gave it all that much more classic appeal and a beautiful "old school" look I really felt for Fred Gwen for having to sit through 3 hours of agonizing makeup every day then suffer from chronic back pain and sweating buckets all day long having to carry the weight of all that padding! Patrick and Pat still survive!
You have to remember, back when this series was made, mid 1960’s, TV sets screens were much smaller and the resolution was much less clear. Even when these scenes were being edited if a blooper was discovered, they probably figured they would not be noticed by the vast majority of viewers.
Also, there was no digital editing. And shooting on film was pretty expensive. The film editors didn't have dozens of takes to work with like the video editors of today. They pretty much had to use what they were given.
You r absolutely right on your statement. I was born in December 1966. I heard that 📺 TV back then were much smaller, little fuzzy, and less channels. Nowadays they're more TV channels over 1,000 much clearer and sharper image.
true the dynamic range was so much less those crew members probably could not be seen on the televisions of the day. And there was no pause or rewind so if you missed it you probably never saw it again.
Also keep in mind that these episodes were meant to be watched one time and maybe rerun again in the Summer and never seen again. Sometimes, such as in season 1 of 'The Munsters' they made so many episodes (38) that only 14 of them could be rerun in the Summer and that was only if its time slot wasn't used for a special or sporting event. There is a good chance they did see these errors as they were editing, but as others stated with the expense of production, the smaller TV's with less clarity, etc., the producers and directors didn't see a reason to do another take. The same holds true with many movies of the time, especially star vehicles. One particular star vehicle, 'Kissin' Cousin' (starring Elvis Presley) has several scenes where Elvis' twin (he played two characters in the movie) is facing the camera and you can tell it isn't Elvis, but rather his stand-in. The two scenes where it is most obvious is when the two Elvis characters are fighting each other and in the dance sequence at the end. At one time during the end, Lance Legault (Elvis's stand-in) turns and faces the camera and backs up along side Elvis as the two characters retreat to a haystack. Lance's face is visible for a good five seconds. In the fighting scene, Elvis pushes Lance's face toward the camera and you plainly seem that it isn't Elvis. I did not notice either of these the first time I watched it and that is what the director probably thought when he edited it, 'no one will notice'. The movie was meant to be released at Easter/Spring break, do a big box-office (which it did), stay at drive-ins and theaters for 3-4 weeks and maybe show up on TV one day as movie of the week and disappear forever. Never did anyone involved with these movies and TV shows think that 50+ years later people would be able to watch them in high def, over and over again with the ability to slow them down and rewind them.
Googie was actually played by Bill Mumy, Will Robinson on “Lost in Space”. I had the pleasure of knowing Bill when I was in my early 20’s. I was employed for a number of years by his brother in law, and Bill would occasionally visit. He was always very friendly, and thoughtful. He once asked if I still watched LIS. I had to admit I didn’t have cable, and hadn’t seen the show in years. He asked which was my favorite episode, and we traded stories about different things happening in the show. Months later I was surprised when a package arrived at my house from him. Inside was an autographed 8x10 photo, and a VHS tape. He dubbed the pilot, my favorite episode, and his favorite episode onto the tape for me. It was such a kind thing to do, I still have the tape to this day. I’ll always be thankful that I got to know my childhood hero, and wasn’t disappointed.
RIP grandpa, Lily, and Herman we your Munster fans r gonna miss u. I love how uncle Herman would say Darn darn darn, a big but little kid in heart. Lily was more attractive and beautiful than Elvira.
I love watching these bloopers. It’s always fun to catch things we were never supposed to notice, be it crew members or small mistakes or something that’s to help the scene, yet being hidden just enough that on first glance you don’t notice something in the scene until you watch it many times. Great job Rick!
I've never noticed any of the bloopers, but it's nice to see them because your pointing out things that they used for the special effects like Herman's incredible strength that's so cool to see. Thank you 😊
Randall Carson---Me too brother, man, where does the time go! I'll turn 59 at the end of April, Lord willing and the creek don't rise, peace Randall.....
@@randystallard8079 I subscribed to your channel - I like your music taste, I grew up in the 60's and now I am 60! The Munsters were great! I soaked up all the pop culture of that time, a great time to be a kid!
It’s so funny that I love this show. I absolutely hate anything like horror flicks, skeletons , scary stuff, etc. For some reason, I love the Munsters! I have the entire set on DVD and watch them often. Not as often as I Love Lucy because I watch that every single day!
I enjoyed "The Munsters" TV series and I found out years later that it was created by the same people who had created the original "Leave It To Beaver" TV series. I liked that the classic Universal studios monsters were a family in a 1960s TV situation comedy show. In fact when I was a child in the 1960s my parents, my siblings and I would regularly watch "The Munsters" on TV.
I grew up watching this show. Lol You did a really nice job on the bloopers Fun to watch and just to see them pointed out , makes it even more funny Thanks Joe .
SirGeorge53 Great memories indeed, I did a lot of model making back in those days too, never missed the show if possible, because unlike today if you did miss it, wait till next week and, hopefully, catch the next episode. Or if it happened to be The Wizard Of Oz, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, wait till next YEAR! I believe things, in general, were appreciated soooooo much more back in those days!
In the opening credits of season 2 you can see a light inside the house after Herman crashes through the door. It is still visible when Lily, Grandpa and Eddie come out, but not when Marilyn does.
Several of these so called bloopers, such as Grandpa turning into a bat with an exit frame right, would not be visible at broadcast in the 60´s. Today the digital signal transmitted for TV or internet is exactly what get on reception - in other words the entire image of the 35mm film. But in the 60´s the outer edge would be missing on reception, the edge being used to align the image on the Cathode Ray Tube. Of approximately 500 horizontal lines on the USA NTSC system, about 50 would be lost beyond the edge as aligned on a test-card. The same applies to the line length. It was inherent to the system. So grandpa/bat was perfectly acceptable for broadcast and would not have to be reshot at production review, because he got out of the TV frame in time. Anyway, its still a classic show. Thanks.
my granny says back then "time is money" whic meant that sometimes they couldn't do a reshoot or couldnt "cover something up" like camera wires. They just left it.
As a kid, when watching these during their original broadcasts, of course I never noticed any of these ! So, certainly a lot of fun to see them now in a much different light so to speak. As a kid, it was just a lot of fun to watch ! Not really thinking about what really went into the actual production work. While it must have been truly a lot of work for both the cast, and the crew, I can see they must have all had their share of fun ! What a simpler time to live in back then ! Guess that's why they call them the good old days ! Thanks again Rick !
Truly enjoyed this video, as usual, especially because it pertains to the greatest TV series of all time. There are many, many bloopers concerning Fred Gwynn's stunt double that I've noticed, so you could probably create a video devoted entirely to that subject, but in no way does that detract from the creativity and quality of this show, and the fact that it is so darn funny.
With the show being shot in B&W and TV monitors at much lower resolution than today, it is understandable that many of these bloopers would have been missed.
@@tsitracommunications2884 According to Al Lewis in the DVD box set featurette, he and Fred Gwynne were originally afraid of having to share the screen with a dazzling, established Hollywood star... then admitted they were dead wrong and claimed Ms. DeCarlo was one of the nicest persons they had ever worked with.
@@tsitracommunications2884 What does that even mean, I really am clueless as to what you are trying to say. I'm already sorry I asked but if you're trying to say something at least provide an explanation, it's like when someone asks you whak kind of car you own and you reply "a red one". We aren't mind readers after all.
Love ❤ this show. I was aware of 2 of the bloopers: the little boy walking across the set and Herman's 'hair' flopping, which, to me, was a little freaky. Thanks for the video 📹.
Once again, great video! I watched that show regularly when it first aired and I noticed absolutely nothing! Granted I was only 10 at the time but the fact that I watched it on a 23" low-definition B&W set may explain a lot! In fact, the poor resolution of older TVs may be why producers were not as attentive to details as they should have been. Besides, this was a low-budget series and I doubt anyone at the time expected it to be rebroadcast for so many years, let alone to become a cult series.
I lived them all. Good spotting. I was a young kid when I watched way back when we all had black and white TV's and I saw no mistakes. Thanks for posting. !:-)
If you look quickly and closely in "Herman's Lawsuit", just as the scene cuts to the wide shot of car hitting Herman and falling apart, you'll see a pole of some sort in the upper left-hand corner that was probably used to release the car's body panels.
I actually went to high school with Al Lewis' middle son. I met Al at the house and grew to like him even more. I never got to ask him about the show the times that I saw him. That's one thing I want to do over. He had a great sense of humor. I miss him.
Thank you for making this!!! I love The Munsters & The addams Family. I watched them any chance I could. I didn't catch any of these. If I had to list my fav TV mom Lily & Morticia would be at the top. Have a great rest of the week and weedend! That goes to whoever's reading this comment 😊
I haven't watched The Munsters for a while, but I do remember when we watched it as kids we always pointed out the wires of the bat (when Grampa changed into a bat). /:) It was kind of a competition to be the first to point the wire out.
Exactly and that’s how I feel this is. It isn’t putting down the show. But in fact it is highlighting some really cool bloopers it’s almost like a game to spot them.
@@randystallard8079 I don't know about Stateside practices, but over here the Anderson's puppeteers used to paint the strings so they'd blend into the backdrops of programs such as Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlett (still doesn't seem right to write Capt.), Joe 90 and so on. Must have added hours in 'costume' changes!
I remember a long time ago Nick at Nite doing a "Pop-Up Video" of this and showing us the blooper of the boy walking in the background behind the stairs. That's the only blooper I remember. This was such a great video to watch!
As someone who produces both radio programs for terrestrial broadcast and video for the web, I can say that even with the best modern equipment, sometimes you miss something in production, and you do your best to fix it in post and if you have multi cams on the scene you can usually do a post production work around. Back when these shots were done they had one cam and these minor problems were not noticed during production. They didn’t have the budget or time to reset the cast and sets weeksvorbmonthsvlatervfor a tiny error that 999 out of 10000 people would never notice. Just enjoy the show.
Well remembering the amount of clarity on the TVs back in 1966 when I was 6 years old compared to what they are nowadays. You could not see any of those bloopers back then.
The show was so kooky it probably wasn't expected to last long so they just meandered in the shots without a care. The best part of that show was the hot rod in the opening credits which gets shown a whole second or two.
"Marilyn" Pat Priest lived in Camarillo, Ca and subscribed to the Camarillo Daily News and I was her paperboy. Every morning at like 5:00 a.m. I threw a newspaper on her front porch. Every month I was at her front door collecting dues.
This is totally cool, I am 50 and I never noticed it back in the day. Thinking about it with the High Definition TV in this era we are able to see things better now than at that time because as you know television back at that time was low quality and we were looking at the entertainment part of it. Grateful for HDTV lol
Ive been binge watching these lately. I’ve seen all of these recently, but only caught two of the bloopers you mention here. The top of Herman’s hair flopping back, and the spider web scene with the guest. Pretty detailed catches, you found.
Congratulations Rick!!! You have 25,000 subscribers now, I'm excited for you. You have a great channel & 40,000 is on the horizon. Oh yeah, great video 😊
I remember when the Munsters first hit the airwaves, everyone went (pardon the pun) Batsh!t for it. The timing couldn't have been more perfectly conceived. The Monster Mash had been a hit a couple of years earlier (already a staple for radio plays on Halloween) while Fred Gwynn and Al Lewis were already known as Officer Francis Muldoon and Officer Leo Schnauser respectively from "Car 54 where are you"? Yvonne deCarlo was already such a famous silver screen actress in her own right, the series could only have failed if the writers bombed.
I grew up with the Munsters. Every time I watch My Cousin Vinny, I cant help but smile seeing Fred playing the judge and thinking of him still as Herman 😁
Actually, the first time I saw My Cousin Vinny, I also couldn't help seen Gwynne as Herman also but as I loved that movie so much and watched it many times over, as well as the Munsters, I thought of him as none other but Judge Chamberlain Haller. He was a versatile actor.
Dave Aspen: Again especially I can't believe you had Car 54...! By the way I'm a super fan of Are You Being Served and was of the original Upstairs Downstairs (hasn't been on for 35 years in U.S.).
I really enjoyed this video and I have another blooper. In the episode "Will success spoil Herman Munster" Grandpa used a cannon to shoot a nothin' muffin down Herman's throat. It's obvious that the muffin was in Herman's mouth and pulled out with a string. It was done in slow motion and then played in reverse. You can easily see the string too.
I hope youtube pays you for this because if they dont and you do this purely for entertainment, then to me, that is a recipe for happiness and well being! Keep us happy and entertained, as well, yourself Rick! As always, much love and respect! 👍😀
Rick, you have a great eye, catching all those bloopers. How did you ever catch all of them? I really liked that episode of Herman negotiating a deal for that beat up Chevy with Fair Deal Dan. Love the way Herman says so proudly that he practically stole it from Cary Grant!
Very observant Rick! I try to catch bloopers, but you are on another level. Another show I loved was The Andy Griffith Show. Especially the first 5 seasons with Don Knotts, who was hilarious. So relaxing of a show too. Hint. Hint. Stay hopeful, Rick! 🔅😊🔅
Katie Bell---Yeah, everything about that show I loved too, I heard one rumor about Mr. Morgantown himself, West by God Virginia's hometown hero, the great Don Knotts, that way back in the day he may have had a little problem with an illegal substance, Andy purportedly walked into Don's dressing room to go over some lines and found his very dear friend SNORTING A LINE OF COCAINE off of the hip of Aunt Bee's backside! Now, I never put much credence into that rumor but it is, and was, Hollyweird!!! 😜 Peace Katie.....
This is the first time I've ever seen any of your videos. I love the Munsters, I have both seasons of it on DVD. I never noticed these bloopers before.
And now I'll tell you something YOU didn't know - His name is Fred Gwynne - pronounced Gwine NOT Gwyn. I know this because I met him on the streets of Manhattan and he corrected me!
I'm 62 yrs. Old so I was a child a d used to look forward to this coming on,,I was a scarry movie watcher ,so ANYThing to do with a monster no matter I watched ,,I really enjoyed this ,,thank you !!
I would love to see some actual Munsters bloopers or, what some refer to, as gag reels. It'd be hilarious to see Jackie Coogan (Fester) "go off" after blowing a line.... or Fred out of character with all the Frankenstein gear on.
@@BackwoodsFilms Absolutely correct, and I can't BELIEVE I mixed up the Munsters/Addams Family. I wonder if UA-cam has some sort of "shame: badge?? :-)
It was such a good show that these errors were easily overlooked.
Plus, there weren't any home recording devices at the time, so even if you thought you saw something, you'd never know for sure. This probably made it easier to just let things slide and save the budget for re-shoots.

I, too, just focused on the scenes rather than on caring to find bloopers. Actually, they were so subtle that they were virtually invisible to me.😀
They weren't overlooked. They were invisible. You must be fairly young since you don't remember the days when television sets were crude little cathode ray tubes with low resolution and mostly blurry pictures and poor reception that was more snow than picture. You probably don't even know what I mean when I say snow.

While it must have been truly a lot of work for both the cast, and the crew, I can see they must have all had their share of fun !
What a simpler time to live in back then !
Guess that's why they call them the good old days !
Thanks again Rick !
I loved watching the monsters when I was young and never noticed any of these bloopers. Great eyes!
Truly enjoyed this video, as usual, especially because it pertains to the greatest TV series of all time. There are many, many bloopers concerning Fred Gwynn's stunt double that I've noticed, so you could probably create a video devoted entirely to that subject, but in no way does that detract from the creativity and quality of this show, and the fact that it is so darn funny.
Most of these bloopers I would never have noticed, if they weren’t pointed out.
They couldn't be seen even if they were pointed out since you could not see such things on the crude blurry cathode ray tubes of the 1960s
With the show being shot in B&W and TV monitors at much lower resolution than today, it is understandable that many of these bloopers would have been missed.
Hey Rick.
I just want thank you. I enjoy these types of trivia. I'll be 60 this year and these shows bring good memories to mind. Thank you again.
Yvonne De Carlo was always very attractive on the show and off. :)
But a spoiled brat/diva/tyranny/bully. FEH!!
YES SHE WAS!!
@@tsitracommunications2884 According to Al Lewis in the DVD box set featurette, he and Fred Gwynne were originally afraid of having to share the screen with a dazzling, established Hollywood star... then admitted they were dead wrong and claimed Ms. DeCarlo was one of the nicest persons they had ever worked with.
Famous last words. As a rule, egos can get in the way
@@tsitracommunications2884 What does that even mean, I really am clueless as to what you are trying to say.
I'm already sorry I asked but if you're trying to say something at least provide an explanation, it's like when someone asks you whak kind of car you own and you reply "a red one".
We aren't mind readers after all.
Love ❤ this show. I was aware of 2 of the bloopers: the little boy walking across the set and Herman's 'hair' flopping, which, to me, was a little freaky. Thanks for the video 📹.
Once again, great video! I watched that show regularly when it first aired and I noticed absolutely nothing! Granted I was only 10 at the time but the fact that I watched it on a 23" low-definition B&W set may explain a lot! In fact, the poor resolution of older TVs may be why producers were not as attentive to details as they should have been. Besides, this was a low-budget series and I doubt anyone at the time expected it to be rebroadcast for so many years, let alone to become a cult series.
Great bloopers, but also in the last one, I always loved how herman falls in the big puddle but gets up and is all DRY!!
I lived them all. Good spotting. I was a young kid when I watched way back when we all had black and white TV's and I saw no mistakes. Thanks for posting. !:-)
I have always been a big fan of the Munsters show I watched it all the time growing up in the 70's. Thank you for this excellent video.
If you look quickly and closely in "Herman's Lawsuit", just as the scene cuts to the wide shot of car hitting Herman and falling apart, you'll see a pole of some sort in the upper left-hand corner that was probably used to release the car's body panels.
The makeup was incredible! Especially Herman's
Keep the bloopers coming ! they are awesome, good job👍
I actually went to high school with Al Lewis' middle son. I met Al at the house and grew to like him even more. I never got to ask him about the show the times that I saw him. That's one thing I want to do over. He had a great sense of humor. I miss him.
I LOVE the Munsters! That little boy was Billy Mumy from "Lost in Space".
"Danger, danger, Will Robinson! Don't go wandering backstage!"
we know
James Ryan duhhhhh
@ENDRID COLD #7 is Billy Mummy ...
@@michaeleasterwood6558 Many viewers are younger and DIDNT KNOW.
I grew up loving the Munsters and wishing we could have a dungeon too. So cool. 😎
Fred flipped his lid 😀 Love The Munsters and the bloopers ❤️
✝️
Thank you for making this!!! I love The Munsters & The addams Family. I watched them any chance I could. I didn't catch any of these. If I had to list my fav TV mom Lily & Morticia would be at the top. Have a great rest of the week and weedend! That goes to whoever's reading this comment 😊
I haven't watched The Munsters for a while, but I do remember when we watched it as kids we always pointed out the wires of the bat (when Grampa changed into a bat). /:)
It was kind of a competition to be the first to point the wire out.
Exactly and that’s how I feel this is. It isn’t putting down the show. But in fact it is highlighting some really cool bloopers it’s almost like a game to spot them.
@@ricknineg Most definitely, very well done Rick, much respect to a class act!
@@randystallard8079 I don't know about Stateside practices, but over here the Anderson's puppeteers used to paint the strings so they'd blend into the backdrops of programs such as Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlett (still doesn't seem right to write Capt.), Joe 90 and so on. Must have added hours in 'costume' changes!
I remember a long time ago Nick at Nite doing a "Pop-Up Video" of this and showing us the blooper of the boy walking in the background behind the stairs. That's the only blooper I remember. This was such a great video to watch!
As someone who produces both radio programs for terrestrial broadcast and video for the web, I can say that even with the best modern equipment, sometimes you miss something in production, and you do your best to fix it in post and if you have multi cams on the scene you can usually do a post production work around. Back when these shots were done they had one cam and these minor problems were not noticed during production. They didn’t have the budget or time to reset the cast and sets weeksvorbmonthsvlatervfor a tiny error that 999 out of 10000 people would never notice. Just enjoy the show.
I'm much older...54 years old, this is my history. I am so glad it has come back to our next generations! ICONIC!
I watched these when I was little. Don't think I caught any of these.
That was why these were the best shows when I was growing up.
Great eye you have there my friend! Love the Munsters! Congrats on 25k!
Well remembering the amount of clarity on the TVs back in 1966 when I was 6 years old compared to what they are nowadays.
You could not see any of those bloopers back then.
The show was so kooky it probably wasn't expected to last long so they just meandered in the shots without a care.
The best part of that show was the hot rod in the opening credits which gets shown a whole second or two.
"Marilyn" Pat Priest lived in Camarillo, Ca and subscribed to the Camarillo Daily News and I was her paperboy. Every morning at like 5:00 a.m. I threw a newspaper on her front porch. Every month I was at her front door collecting dues.
Rob Abreu was she nice?
Wow. I never noticed those things. You would make an excellent detective!
Thanks for your "Be Positive" message. Also, your videos are great entertainment during these hard times.
great stuff rick 9 thanks for the fun
This is totally cool, I am 50 and I never noticed it back in the day. Thinking about it with the High Definition TV in this era we are able to see things better now than at that time because as you know television back at that time was low quality and we were looking at the entertainment part of it. Grateful for HDTV lol
We gotta remember that TV was 'primitive' back then, so stunts we take for granted today were hard to pull off back in the days...
Ive been binge watching these lately. I’ve seen all of these recently, but only caught two of the bloopers you mention here.
The top of Herman’s hair flopping back, and the spider web scene with the guest. Pretty detailed catches, you found.
The other is when he falls there is a stunt performer
Passei minha infância assistindo os monstros.
Não perdia um episódio.
Hoje tenho alguns em DVD.
Amava quando o karraca saia debaixo da escada.
Just stumbled upon this going down the UA-cam rabbit hole. Good stuff!!! Loved watching the Muensters.
Hey Rick! Another great video. My favorite blooper was the one with the whole crew in the background. Keep up the great work.
My favorite was his hair flopping😂😂
I love all bloopers. sometimes I catch them and feel observant. please keep them coming.
Beverly Owen looked amazing in these still shots. What a beautiful lady. 😎
Tres bon!
@Anastasia Pavlova Put your glasses on 👓
Loved that show too and that hair is hysterical! 😄. Great video!
Still an amazing show Addams is ok but Munsters is best
Addams family sucked, the Munsters are the best!
Agreement Munsters was one of the best shows ever made
I respect your opinion on The Addams Family
I preferred the Addams Family, but they were both very good.
@@rodh1404 They were both great shows but the Munsters is better.
I really enjoyed your video. Love watching those bloopers!
Congratulations Rick!!! You have 25,000 subscribers now, I'm excited for you. You have a great channel & 40,000 is on the horizon. Oh yeah, great video 😊
The hair falling back off Herman's head 🤣
I'm pretty sure that little kid with Eddie was Billy Mumy from Lost In Space.
Except for the guy that produced the video. ..
Still one of my favorite shows of all time. I still watch them often. Thanx
I remember when the Munsters first hit the airwaves, everyone went (pardon the pun) Batsh!t for it. The timing couldn't have been more perfectly conceived. The Monster Mash had been a hit a couple of years earlier (already a staple for radio plays on Halloween) while Fred Gwynn and Al Lewis were already known as Officer Francis Muldoon and Officer Leo Schnauser respectively from "Car 54 where are you"? Yvonne deCarlo was already such a famous silver screen actress in her own right, the series could only have failed if the writers bombed.
I grew up with the Munsters. Every time I watch My Cousin Vinny, I cant help but smile seeing Fred playing the judge and thinking of him still as Herman 😁
Actually, the first time I saw My Cousin Vinny, I also couldn't help seen Gwynne as Herman also but as I loved that movie so much and watched it many times over, as well as the Munsters, I thought of him as none other but Judge Chamberlain Haller. He was a versatile actor.
Hello Rick, next time I watch I'll keep an eye out for these bloopers.
Always love your Videos Nick !!!!
As a kid here in The UK, I watched them all, BUT! as a kid, I WOULDN'T HAVE NOTICED THE BLOOPERS!!!
Dave Aspen: You had the Munsters in U.K. can't believe it. More important did they show I Love Lucy?
@@roberttelarket4934 YEP! AND....CAR 54 WHERE ARE YOU? Roy Rogers and Trigger!
Dave Aspen: Again especially I can't believe you had Car 54...! By the way I'm a super fan of Are You Being Served and was of the original Upstairs Downstairs (hasn't been on for 35 years in U.S.).
@@roberttelarket4934 I'M FREE!!!!!!
Sadly, John Inman passed a little while ago.
I really enjoyed this video and I have another blooper. In the episode "Will success spoil Herman Munster" Grandpa used a cannon to shoot a nothin' muffin down Herman's throat. It's obvious that the muffin was in Herman's mouth and pulled out with a string. It was done in slow motion and then played in reverse. You can easily see the string too.
I hope youtube pays you for this because if they dont and you do this purely for entertainment, then to me, that is a recipe for happiness and well being! Keep us happy and entertained, as well, yourself Rick! As always, much love and respect! 👍😀
Wow, love stumbling on these old shows especially this one! The Munsters has been a favorite for many years as well as The Addams Family.
Rick, you have a great eye, catching all those bloopers. How did you ever catch all of them? I really liked that episode of Herman negotiating a deal for that beat up Chevy with Fair Deal Dan. Love the way Herman says so proudly that he practically stole it from Cary Grant!
Absolutely brilliant video thank you brings back a lot of memories
Very observant Rick! I try to catch bloopers, but you are on another level. Another show I loved was The Andy Griffith Show. Especially the first 5 seasons with Don Knotts, who was hilarious. So relaxing of a show too. Hint. Hint. Stay hopeful, Rick! 🔅😊🔅
Katie Bell---Yeah, everything about that show I loved too, I heard one rumor about Mr. Morgantown himself, West by God Virginia's hometown hero, the great Don Knotts, that way back in the day he may have had a little problem with an illegal substance, Andy purportedly walked into Don's dressing room to go over some lines and found his very dear friend SNORTING A LINE OF COCAINE off of the hip of Aunt Bee's backside! Now, I never put much credence into that rumor but it is, and was, Hollyweird!!! 😜 Peace Katie.....
Every time I rewatch this blooper video the hand/buzzer blooper cracks me up! Lol 😂
As we say in software, those aren’t “buggy bloopers” those are FEATURES!
Very cool. Loved the bloopers where Herman wqs showing off his superhuman strength.
Hi Rick, just want to share that ROKU has a Munsters Channel.. It's great! It's also free! I will be looking for all these bloopers! :)
This is the first time I've ever seen any of your videos.
I love the Munsters, I have both seasons of it on DVD.
I never noticed these bloopers before.
Welcome to the channel! Check out my videos because I have over 1000 in many different topics and I think you’ll enjoy them thank you
And now I'll tell you something YOU didn't know - His name is Fred Gwynne - pronounced Gwine NOT Gwyn. I know this because I met him on the streets of Manhattan and he corrected me!
@Robd1 replies He was walking down 5th Ave near 48th st Manhattan
I'm 62 yrs. Old so I was a child a d used to look forward to this coming on,,I was a scarry movie watcher ,so ANYThing to do with a monster no matter I watched ,,I really enjoyed this ,,thank you !!
Bloopers and production mistakes are completely different things
I would love to see some actual Munsters bloopers or, what some refer to, as gag reels. It'd be hilarious to see Jackie Coogan (Fester) "go off" after blowing a line.... or Fred out of character with all the Frankenstein gear on.
Hmmmm - I thought production mistakes were called "flubs."
@@ajbfwb Fester was a character on The Addams Family, not The Munsters. Blooper!
Same result .
@@BackwoodsFilms Absolutely correct, and I can't BELIEVE I mixed up the Munsters/Addams Family. I wonder if UA-cam has some sort of "shame: badge?? :-)
Good job. I enjoy catching them too
