The Munsters is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from 1964 to 1966. Created by Ed Haas and Norm Liebmann, the series centers on the home life of a family of benign monsters who experience various misadventures. The central characters include Herman Munster, played by Fred Gwynne, and his vampire wife Lily, portrayed by Yvonne De Carlo. The cast also features Al Lewis as Grandpa, who is Count Dracula, along with Butch Patrick and Beverley Owen. The family members are friendly monsters who never quite understand why people react to them so strangely. The series originally aired on Thursday evenings at 7:30 pm, with a total of 70 episodes produced during its initial two-year run. While the program experienced a decline in ratings by the end of its broadcast period, it eventually found a large audience through syndication.
