Here's a man whose most famous role was that of Grandpa on The Munsters, where he always looked like he was missing his dentures and had run face first into Bela Lugosi. After the series ended, nothing much was heard from any of the actors except for Fred Gwynne, but Al came roaring back when Howard Stern let him loose on an unsuspecting radio audience.

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
A good formula for the early "TV to Big Screen" movies.
Great movie (get the DVD instead) VHS is dead.
All the original cast (except Priest as Marylin), return to head to
Englad where Herman has inherited the Munster estate. But what they
don't realize is that the mysterious Griffin is out to scare away
the Munster family back to America.
If you liked the TV Show, this is a great movie for your collection
(nowhere near the awful one from NBC in the 80s' "Munsters Revenge")

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
The last nail in the Munsters coffin by NBC
This is the last time the Munsters were seen together, and in a very bad NBC 'Made for TV' movie at that (shame on you NBC!!).
In a Nut Shell...
Munsters are honored in a wax museum, but the evil owner of the wax museum decides to incorporate robotics into the wax figures of the Munsters and the rest of the exhibits and have them perform criminal activity. And when the police go looking they arrest the real versions.
The make-up is nowhere as good as the 1960's "Munster Go Home" movie, but if you are Munster fan like myself, you need to have this in your collection.
• The Munster Koach and the Drag-u-la
Two hilarious monster-themed TV shows, The Addams Family and The Munsters , premiered and expired the same two weeks of the same two years in 1964-1966. Both were in black and white. Each had their audience, and you were either a Munsters fan or an Addams Family fan, or both. I liked them both, but I guess I was more of a Munsters fan, primarily because they had The Munster Koach. George Barris is a genius. He created custom cars like the Batmobile , Monkeemobile, and The Beverly Hi
• 54 and Counting
Earlier this week, my distinguished colleague Scott Von Doviak, in the course of filing his the latest installment in his beloved "Unwatchables" series-- this time, dealing with the 1994 movie version of Car 54, Where Are You? --took a moment to express his bewilderment that anyone would have even thought to make a movie version of Car 54, Where Are You? Of all the movies based in TV sitcoms, Scott writes, "it just might be the most perplexing. It wasn?t adapted from a beloved childhood favo
• GRINDHOUSE REPORT FROM ROW THREE: PLAGUE OF THE SINFUL DWARF
Brian Quinn and Eric Caidin, the dedicated programmers of the twice-monthly New Beverly Grindhouse Film festival, broke format for their Tuesday night series last night with pleasing results. Rather than sticking with the loosely demarcated time frame of mid ?60s to mid ?80s, from whence most of the programming for the popular Grindhouse Night comes, they chose to highlight a relatively new film which itself harkens back to the spirit of the grimy, grainy, ?realistic? films that made up the aest

After a 30 year career on radio in markets from New York to San Francisco to satellite and network, David H. Lawrence XVII decided to make a change. He hung up his headphones and retired from hosting 3 network/satellite radio shows to head to Los Angeles, to concentrate solely on acting in front of the camera.
Lili VonSchtupp* needed a fresh start. She moved to Washington DC and got her dream job. "I did affiliate relations for Online Tonight with David Lawrence. I slowly worked my way into the producer's chair by impressing David with my assets. (not those assets), my ability to make a CAT5 cable Ethernet cable, type (those of you in the chat room-shut up!) and work a phone system.
