I don't get the Munsters, I was born in 72 and this show was just old and lame. There is an endless list of TV shows that I would think would be way more popular. This is the first time I have ever felt too young for pinball I can't disagree with Stern on this one as people seemed stoked on this pin and it does look good.

Quoted from Rarehero:

It’s a testament to how great Fred Gwynn, Al lewis, and Yvonne DeCarlo were. They took a silly premise and elevated it with iconic performances that made it timeless. Even the underlying message: don’t judge a book by its cover...still holds true today. I’m re-watching the show right now, and I don’t know if it was intentional at the time, but the show is essentially about racism. A “different looking” family moves to town & everyone is fearful and skeptical of them, even though they’re sweethearts. My wife loves how Herman loves and respects her wife...very different than the usual sitcom bickering snarky married couple.
I was born in 76, and loved the show as a kid. There’s something about it that keeps it from being lame, even though it’s old. It’s still fun, it still holds up.

Yeah I do find it curious what about this show works it must be some cultural thing. I'm in the demographic as far as age but it must not have got much play on Canadian TV. I only remember it as disappointing filler, they would slide it in where they would normally use Lucy or the Honeymooners. My reaction was always what they hell is this and I would go do something else. Then again maybe it was just how great all those old black and white monster movies were, the Munsters was like sacrilege.
