My mom had a children's book that Fred wrote after his time on . She lost it in a move as a child; I found a copy of the book at a book sale four years ago and bought it for $0.50. I gave it to her for her birthday, and she burst into tears, asking me where I got it. I told her I'd found it at the book sale I was at and how much it cost and she was stunned. Come to find out, she'd written her name on the first page when she was a child, and what had made her cry was that when she opened the book, and looked at the first page, it was her signature staring back at her.

I heard it was painted violet because it would show up better on film.

[@Kelly-hh7jz]

Their house, outfits and some of the makeup was actually pastel colored because of how it showed in black & white. The set looked nothing like what you would think.

[@adrianna24sings]

Fred Gwynne was so handsome. I'm glad the audience could see how he looked without the makeup, Mr Gwynne did appear in another show called "Car 54 Where are You? and several movies so fans knew what he looked like without the makeup. This is a great episode. Excellent acting by cast as usual. I enjoy watching "The Munsters" so much. Classic comedy with top notch writing.

[@kennethwoodland152]

Hey, how are you?

[@davidg.9932]

This is one of my favorite episodes. This is kind of a spin on, "Eye of the Beholder -The Twilight Zone". The lady was pretty but she was an outcast because everyone else was, lets say, quite the opposite.

[@EpicKate]

That was a great episode. The way she did so much acting with just her hands, it's unforgettable.

[@DarthSideous63]

The lady is Donna Douglas aka Elly May of The Beverly Hillbillies.

[@davidg.9932]

@@DarthSideous63 Good info.. I never caught that.. Hmmm..

[@jeffkatt]

And when you look back on it, you see why every shot had all the actors either in shadow or their backs facing the camera as not to give away the surprise ending. Fantastic episode!!

[@bookerbright3439]

The Munsters was a lovely family from the old country. This was and still is one of my favorite series. May Grandpa, Lilly, Herman, and Marilyn all rest in peace in a graveyard back in the old country. 😁

[@DJUniMekaju]

Well, never thought I'd be unsettled by seeing Herman look human. 😆

[@johnny-becker]

This was Fred Gwenn's favorite episode cause he didn't have to wear all of Herman's costume padding which was very heavy and gave him back pains

[@karendorsey4780]

I loved watching reruns of this show as a child! Fred Gwynn was a great actor!

[@franceswright8155]

It's easy to forget just how handsome Fred Gwen is with all the make up on. He is a very nice looking man. Wow!

[@TheaterPup]

Fred Gwynne was very handsome. 🥰 And you have to appreciate the show tackling very real emotions underneath the silly premise. 👍

[@MaverickRhodes-il4hq]

Fred said this was his favourite episode, because he didn't have to wear that costume. It just shows how truly great if an actor he was.. so affable and loveable.. may he rest in peace

[@heartstrings7814]

This was a fun show to watch as a kid.

[@meggrotte4760]

I love it I hope they show the second part

I have all 3 seasons! So good.

@@lindaberry7206 It only lasted two believe it or not.

Seeing this makes me realize that Josh Peck looks kinda like a young Fred Gwynne

[@shellylupton9889]

Best show. Don't make them like that anymore. No one was offended

Right. And today some people are offended when they see the Black Female Housekeeper in Tom & Jerry

70s, 80's and 90's

The best TV shows were in the sixties and seventies.

[@BillyBobDingo1971]

Loved the Munsters. Much better than the Addams family in my opinion.

[@tomjoad929]

Definitely

[@harperstacey9604]

I wish there was a crossover with the munsters and the Addams family.

Fred gwynne was a good looking guy.

Agree.

Can you show the ending with him as a woman? That's hilarious

See "Turn Herman back"
