Ep17--Vengeance is Mine, Saith the Munster

Seen on the Small Screen Podcast

(Disclaimer: This episode came up in the manner we chose our most recent episodes, from the ether of random chance. We recorded this back in January and had no idea it would be released this close to Halloween. So, enjoy this unintended near-to-Halloween treat!)
New this month, we ring in the Fall season with the Halloween hijinks of America's favorite monster sit-com family in The Munster's Revenge. Another TV reunion film, you may ask? You better believe it, with the likes Fred Gwynne, Al Lewis, and Yvonne de Carlo back in their roles as the Frankenstein father, vampire Grandpa, and the Promethean's bride. When your friendly neighborhood wax museum of horrors turns out to be a front for the mad Dr. Diablo and his army of monster robot criminals, it's Herman and Grandpa who get pegged by the police as the culprits. It becomes the Munster's job to fix the status quo by taking a trip to Transylvania, searching for a potion that will foil the doctor's plans to steal a priceless museum collection. Can the Munster clan succeed and get back home in time to celebrate All Hallows Eve with carols of arsenic and garlic around the Halloween tree? Does it sound like a typical plot from the Munster's television show? Sure, with some bits from Gilligan's Island thrown in for good measure. And be prepared as Jake and Becky introduce yet another segment to the show where they test their breadth of small screen knowledge in a new tv trivia feature.
