The Munsters (Seasons 1–2)

The Munsters (1964) is the classic CBS comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. The Munster family lives at 1313 Mockingbird Lane: patriarch Herman (Fred Gwynne) stands seven feet tall and was assembled rather than born, his wife Lily and her father Grandpa are centuries-old vampires, and their son Eddie is a little werewolf who just wants to fit in at school.

The one member of the household who looks completely ordinary is niece Marilyn — which, by Munster standards, makes her the odd one out. The show's joke never gets old: this genuinely warm, well-meaning family cannot figure out why the neighbours keep screaming and running.

It debuted the same season as The Addams Family, and the two shows split the market for gothic sitcoms in 1964. Fred Gwynne's Herman became one of the defining physical comedy performances in American television. Stream every episode of The Munsters online on iFILM.
