In the late 60's and early 70's Scooby Doo rocked my horror world, For a lot of kids it was their first taste of horror. It was also a good way to find out if your friend where looses...like Scooby doo = cool, hate Scooby doo = @3%%en looser and future terrorist. I have a dungeon full of people who didn't like Scooby. Let's see what WIKIPEDIA has to say about Scooby.
Scooby-Doo is a long-running American animated television series produced for Saturday morning television in several different versions from 1969 to the present. The original series, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, was created for Hanna-Barbera Productions by writers Joe Ruby & Ken Spears and character designer Iwao Takamoto. Hanna-Barbera produced numerous spin-offs and related works until being absorbed in 1997 into Warner Bros., which has handled production since then. Though the format of the show and the cast (and ages) of characters have varied significantly over the years, the most familiar versions of the show feature a talking dog named Scooby-Doo and four teenagers: Fred "Freddie" Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers.
These five characters (officially collectively known as "Mystery, Inc.", but never referred to as such in the original series) drive around the world in a van called the "Mystery Machine", and solve mysteries typically involving tales of ghosts and other supernatural forces. At the end of each episode, the supernatural forces turn out to have a rational explanation, typically criminal plots involving costumes and special effects intended to frighten or distract. Later versions of Scooby-Doo featured different variations on the show's supernatural theme, and include characters such as Scooby's cousin Scooby-Dum and nephew Scrappy-Doo in addition to or instead of some of the original characters.
Scooby-Doo was originally broadcast on CBS from 1969 to 1976, when it moved to ABC. ABC aired the show until canceling it in 1986, and presented a spin-off, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, from 1988 until 1991. A new Scooby-Doo series, What's New, Scooby-Doo?, aired on the WB Network during the Kids' WB programming block from 2002 until 2005. The current Scooby-Doo series, Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!, airs Saturday mornings on The CW network. Repeats of the original series, as well as second-run episodes of What's New, Scooby-Doo?, are broadcast frequently on the Cartoon Network and Boomerang in the United States and other countries.
The Munster. This has to be one of my all time favorites. It has everything a growing boy need, Spooky House, Cool Cars, Corney Jokes and a HOT Ba......Wait that was Marsha On the Brady Bunch. Anyway The Munsters was my first Into Horror movie addiction. Here Are some of my favorite Munster sites, Plus some links to download a few episodes from the first season Including the never seen first episode.
Beverley Owen played Marilyn for the first 13 episodes and Pat Priest replaced her for the remainder of the series.
There was only one Drag-U-La (Grandpa's coffin car,) built for the show. It now hangs from the ceiling in Planet Hollywood in Atlantic City. There have been several replicas built since.
The uncredited voice of The Raven was supplied by Mel Blanc. On the rare occasions Blanc was unavailable, the Raven's voice was supplied by Bob Hastings.
The Munster Koach, and the Dragula car were both built by Hollywood car customizer George Barris.
Fred Gwynne also played Herman's twin brother Charlie and a reject creation of Doctor Frankenstein's named Johann.
For the first 13 episodes, in which Beverley Owen played Marilyn, Fred Gwynne appeared last in the opening credits. When Owen was replaced by Pat Priest and the sequence had to be re-shot, Gwynne appeared first in the credits. Since there were no further cast changes for the second season, the credits remained in that order for the remainder of the series.
Lily Munster's original first name was Phoebe in the pilot.
The pilot of the series was in color.
Grandpa's Drag-u-la racer was only used in one episode, despite being shown in the end credits of every 2nd season episode.
Beverley Owen, who played Marilyn Munster in the first 13 episodes, is a natural brunette. She wore a wig, and her hairline was often covered up by a headband. Pat Priest, who played Marilyn for the remainder of the series, is a natural blond, so that is her natural hair.
This show and its "rival" series "The Addams Family" (1964) both debuted within a week of one another in September 1964. At the end of that year's TV season, this show ranked #18 in the Nielsens, with a rating of 24.7, while The Addams Family came in at #23, with a 23.9 rating. At the time, Nielsens indicated what percentage of American TV households tuned in to any given program. By the end of the following year, both series were cancelled.
Eddie's pet dragon that lived under the stairs was named Spot.
Eddie's stuffed wolf was named Woof-Woof.
Grandpa's pet bat was named Igor.
Other member's of the Munster family were Lily's brother (and Grandpa's son) a werewolf named Lester and Uncle Gilbert, the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
The Munsters lived at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, Mockingbird Heights.
Grandpa wasn't Grandpa Munster. He was Lily's father, and their family name was "Dracula".
Eddie's full name was Edward Wolfgang Munster.
This series' title was supposedly derived from combining the words "fun" and "monsters".
Beverley Owen's final episode was "Family Portrait".
Bill Mumy was the original choice for Eddie Munster, but his parents didn't approve of the extensive makeup that would be used for his character. He would eventually guest on the episode "Come Back, Little Googie", playing an incorrigible brat, during the first season.
The character 'Herman Munster' was ranked #19 in TV Guide's list of the "50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time" (20 June 2004 issue).
Contrary to popular belief, The Munsters were not the first couple on TV to share a bed. It was real-life couple Mary Kay Stearns and John Stearns on their show "Mary Kay and Johnny" (1947) in the late 1940s.
The name of the funeral parlor that Herman worked for was Gateman, Goodbury and Graves.
The occasional role of Mr. Gateman was played by John Carradine.
The show was shot in black and white because the studio did not want to pay an extra $1,000 per episode for color.
The house that would later become Munster House first made an appearance in an episode of "Leave It to Beaver" (1957). Producers Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher created both series.
After the pilot was filmed, CBS execs insisted on re-casting the role of Lily Munster. Initially, both Fred Gwynne and Al Lewis balked at the notion of the part going to Yvonne De Carlo. However, later both Gwynne and Lewis agreed De Carlo was a great comedic actress.
The first season opening credits sequence was a parody of "The Donna Reed Show" (1958), which always began with Donna passing out lunches to her departing family members.
Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster) recorded a pop record to the tune of "The Munsters" theme in the early '80s called "What Ever Happened to Eddie?" as Eddie and the Monsters.
Although Bud Westmore is credited as make up artist on each installment of The Munsters, he merely supervised Universal's makeup department at the time. The actual, uncredited work was done by Karl Silvera (Herman's make-up and appliances) Perc Westmore (Grandpa), Abe Haberman (Lily) and 'Mike Westmore (I)' (Marylin and Eddie).
