I like the 1st season better also- The eerie keyboard works great with the guitar- But I can't tell the difference between version1 and version 2 on this.....
@asgaard636 version 1 and version 2 seem to have the same music, but the visual effects are different. version 1 shows lily as the first character, and shows herman as the last character, and shows beverley owen as marilyn. version 2 shows herman as the first character, and shows lily as the second character, and shows pat priest as marilyn.
This is one of the few shows where the replacement for know actor or actress resembles original as Pat Priest looks a lot like Beverly Owens, when they did Munsters today the Marilyn actress is clearly younger as is the Grandpa actor and the Herman actor is to short.
@hydrolito yea. in particular, john schuck, who played as herman in "the munsters today" , didn't look a heck of a lot like fred gwynne. actually, it might be tough to find an actor that looks like fred gwynne.
@coppertweed seems to me they're taking a brief look at the weather. for example, lily checks out the rain. surely it was staged like that so the characters would look into the camera.
I like the first season theme better. the organ, tuba, and the bass guitar do it for me. Plus it has a more "horror" note to it. Wich seems more appropriate considering the show is a comedy about Count Dracula and the Frankenstein monster.
@themaytagrepairman i guess you mainly prefer the 1st season theme because of the music, not necessarily because of the visual. i think both themes are equally great. the 1st theme reminds me of the fact that the show involves vampires and werewolves and so forth, whereas the 2nd tune reminds me of the fact that it's a comedy with a lot of scenes of glee.
@SchnuffelB yea, that was the pilot episode. i've seen it. because it wasn't aired, i didn't regard it as a tv show, and thus i didn't even consider including it. it had joan marshall as phoebe, and it had nate derman as eddie, and it had fred gwynne and al lewis and beverley owen.
@Bradat26 i like the second season theme more than the other 2. the tune is a bit easier to hum. i wish my recording device had been better, and yet i think the viewers were able to get the gist of the 3 themes. i love the part where herman crashes through the door. in the episodes, he had a habit of breaking furniture accidentally, and yet they constantly had decent furniture in the following episode.
I know it must have been difficult recording this with the equipment you had available, but it was well worth it. Really nice to see the different openings of what I reckon is the best theme music in history! (The one from the first series takes the prize for me). Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting the 3 themes together. I am the odd one out. I prefer the second season theme. It has more of a bite to it.

i too prefer the first opening. on the other hand, it seems that the music would be more difficult for someone to learn to play.
