Man, I love the Munsters. I think I like them even more than the Addams Family(who are also majorly cool). I own both series'. They were a fun family. They were functional. Herman and Lily were devoted to each other. Eddie was a nice kid, Grampa was crotchety, yet loving. Even Marilyn(the homely one) was cool. They didn't have to resort to putdowns and crudeness like a lot of shows today.
Al Lewis admitted on the Mancow (Eric Muller) radio show some years back that he was a fan of Stan Laurel. He also said that non one could measure up to Stan.
When you saw Grandpa, you saw Al Lewis. They were one and the same. Grandpa used to dog Herman for the stupid stuff he did, but Grandpa could be pretty stupid himself. Who cares? It was all for fun! Party on Grandpa!
I remember Al Lewis when he was living on Roosevelt Island... I worked for Rent-A-Center at the time... I used to see him sitting in his chair, or at the grocery store their... It was at the time the knicks were competing for the Championship... Everytime we would see him, we would yell.... YO AL, or (Grandpa).... HOW BOUT THEM KNICKS! He would always give a thumbs up to us.... He would call us the RAC Boys.... He will be missed! I miss those days too.... Lot of fun doing deliveries and hits!
Al Lewis and Fred Gwyne were a winning combination. The cool thing about the Munsters was that the show was so incredibly funny, yet, it didn't have the vulgarity and profanity so prevalent in today's comedies and some cartoons. God rest Al and Fred's wonderful souls.
Those 2 Al,Lewis and Fred Gwynne will always have a funny part in our lives because they made people around them laugh for the short time they were here and we miss them both as well as Yvonne DeCarlo 2..RIP all of you,with God's blessing!!
Que dios ténga en su gloria a AL LEWIS ya que la verdad trabajó mucho en su vida e hizo reír a mucha gente como nosotros, dios ahora lo tiene en su corte celestial para que haga reír a los ángeles, junto a él ya casi está toda la família Munster original ya que El abuelo, Herman y Lily ya están en el cielo.
lindo homenaje para el amado abuelo que alegra todas mis madrugadas con su vampirezco humor ...siempre estas en mi corazon...Q E P D TE QUIERE TODA ARGENTINA Y EN ESPECIAL JULIETA MARTINEZ
I listened to his weekly program on WBAI-FM 99.5 every Saturday. His wife Karen is now the sole host of the show (she and Al co-hosted for many years until he passed away). It airs every Saturday afternoon from Noon to 1:30. Al was an prisoner rights' activist and fought against police/correction abuse.
Grande abuelo Munster nunca moriras siempre viviras en nuestros corazones AL LEWIS Q.E.P.D.
Por otro lado si el oyera como hacen la traduccion los españoles les juraria que de lo ofendido y mortificado reviviria a chuparle la sangre a estos coños, jiripoyas que la cagan metiendo su lenguaje cagonnn.. joderrrr..
I never will forget Granpa and his coffin dragster he and Herman put on a show at the Nationals back in the 60s and it was funny as hell and Al Lewis was just so original! there will never be another like him. RIP Al!
an often overlooked side to Al Lewis, was his near obsession with basketball. If he hadn't been an actor, he'd have done well as a scout. He was amazing to listen to when he talked of new prospects at the highschool and college level.
Great tribute to a great actor...he was also great on "Car 54, Where Are You"...wonder if he ever tired working with Fred Gwynn...what a combination they were...and Yvonne DeCarlo, too...and not to forget Marilyn and Butch Patrick!!!!
I like the Tribute. I met the man twice and talked to him on the phone once through a radio interview. I watched the show as a child all the time. Must of sat too close to it because I ended up looking like Mr. Lewis. I thank the Lord for making him famous and me for looking like Grandpa on the Munsters.
Good bye Gampa I wish I could have know ya I'm only 14 but I love the show Grampa is my favorite so this upsets me alot I'll hopfuly see him in heaven with Lilly Herman and the rest
Oh, thank you for this. I had the privelege of knowing Grampa. He was...what can I say? One of hte nicest men I had ever met. He gave great flirt, and during hte SAG Commercial strike, showed himself to be a powerful speaker.
Thank U for this video...

Yeah but the resemblance between Grampa and Bernie Madoff is a bit scary too, don't ya' think? ;)
Same thing with Herman Munster and John Kerry.
Seriously though..
The Munsters was a one time deal and it was just so much fun. Grampa and Herman were the Laurel and Hardy of monsterdom.
Losta' fun and some really funny situations. My fave? The one where Herman and Grampa make the go-cart for Eddie. :)
