    John, I absolutely adored these 2 videos with Pat as well as the one with Butch so much! I always enjoy hearing from people who worked on old and popular shows like the Munsters and the stories they share, not to mention they’re willing to do much more for fans by doing meet and greets and all.
    But yeah, I’m so happy Pat and Butch are still with us today as they just turned 87 and 70 this year.

    What a wonderful video! She is the sweetest lady! I met her at The Hollywood Show in 2014 or 2015. The person in line in front of me was having trouble with her Smart phone and taking a picture together with Pat. They finally got it figured out. It was my turn to meet her. She saw that I had a digital camera (this was before I had a Smart phone). She saw my camera and thanked me profusely for having a regular camera! We had a good laugh over it! I always enjoy your videos! Thank you for doing them!

    • @ThatsClassicTV
      @ThatsClassicTV  Рік тому +1

      That is a good question and if I interview her again I will try to remember to ask her. She did tell a story in the first interview I did with her of a little boy coming up to her at an autograph show that gives a hint of what they might have thought.😀

    What can I say-another fantastic episode. It's great that you have it on Spotify also so that I can listen to it while on my way to work. These are so insightful and I love hearing their recollections-it adds to the joy I experienced when I watched the shows countless times in my youth. The Munsters was always a favorite with Gilligan's Island and all of the classics [many of which you have interviewed already] along with the detective genres like Barnaby Jones, Mannix, Banacek, etc. I look forward to every time I get a notification that a new episode is ready. Keep up the good work! Thank you for doing this.

    Back in 1980, I had a friend who worked in a law firm in Manhattan that represented Fred Gwynne. Apparently Fred mentioned the challenges of the first season on The Munster's set when Yvonne expected to be treated like she used to be while shooting a major motion picture with a big budget vs a new TV show. It caused some discord in the beginning with other cast members. But Fred himself wasn't always appreciative of fans who approached him. Guess he had forgotten that fans are the ones who drive an artists career. I hope that my comments aren't outside of the guidelines of this incredible podcast.
    .

    • @ThatsClassicTV
      @ThatsClassicTV  Рік тому +1

      Not at all, I appreciate your comments. Fred obviously wanted to put Herman Munster behind him once the show ended so he could be a versatile actor and not be typecast. It is a shame on one level for the fans and a reality that for some actors they see being typecast as a kiss of death. I think they lose track of the fact that they were so fortunate to have had the break that so many actors never get.No matter what Fred was incredible as Herman Munster.

    A few months ago I discovered this channel and absolutely love it! So far I have had the great honor of watching both interviews with one and only Pat Priest. What a delightful lady she is in addition to a great actress. Her stores of being on the set and cast of one of my favorite childhood shows The Munsters is fascinating to me. I had a friend who was a neighbor of Yvonne DeCarlo back in the early 80's and he said that she rarely came out of her house, and that she was a great beauty even up to her death. I didn't have a chance to submit my questions prior to this latest interview, but each one was answered anyway. Looking forward to the next interview with Ms. Pat Priest.

    Enjoyed the interview very much! You and Pat are correct. The audience identifies a particular actor/actress with a role in a series, and it rarely works if that person is replaced by someone else. I can think of many examples of a replacement not meeting the public's approval.

    Back in 1980, I was on the VIP tour at Universal Studios and was able to walk up onto the front porch of the Munster's house. It was cleaned up by then because it had also been used in other films and TV shows. I opened up the front door, and remember seeing the small platform that Pat mentioned. Also could see the the support 2/4's that held the façade together. For me it was thrilling and. Just learned that Colonial St is no longer in the same location was it was during my visit. Humm.

    A little late to the game, but finally got to watch this second interview. Meaning no disrespect to the "first" Marilyn, but Pat was Marilyn to me. I thought she fit in perfectly with the rest of the cast. This show premiered before I was born in 1965, but I watched lots of reruns over the years and this past Christmas my son bought me the Munsters series with the 2 movies included. I only wish there had been more seasons of this great show.
    I know Munsters and Addams Family premiered the same day on different networks, which I always found interesting. Was there a rush for odd monster type families to see which network brought in more of an audience and therefore money for their show? Maybe you can find the answer to this John. I've had friends ask me, "Which show did you like better, The Munsters or Addams Family?" Easy answer for me will always be The Munsters. I like Addams Family and the theme song, but I thought the Munsters was funnier. I love downloading different theme songs from the 60's, 70's and 80's to my cell phone and Munsters is one of them. The theme song was very rock or "hip" for the time period. Thanks for another great interview!

I had to be in wardrobe and makeup by 6:00 AM, but not taken to the set (we filmed on location in Philadelphia) until 2:00 PM. All that time I was in costume in 18th century style clothing, and have to admit that it wasn't comfortable. LOL But I didn't care because I was a working actor, and that's part of the job.
