This film was poorly executed, from the obviously TV movie Production Design to the casting choices, although Hermann did his best to revive the original Herman as portrayed by Fred Gwynne.

For me, however, the story just didn't make much sense, and the cameos by the original cast members from the 1964 was painful and embarrassing to watch, proving why they weren't chosen to reprise their roles in the earlier incarnation sitcom "The Munsters Today" in 1988.

The only redeemable features for this outing are the appearance of The Munster Koach (although again, it was introduced in a different way), the true to origin makeup and costume, and supporting cast who at points do make it watchable.

I really don't know where to begin reviewing this episode, as NOTHING about it makes any sense whatsoever.

The dialogue is awkward, the jokes are not really funny (aside from the usual gags of the day such as Nanny walking through walls and sitting on/crushing Mr. Igor etc), and the "story" patchy at best with no explanation of what is actually happening, or why.

The episode is credited as being written by Peter Richard Reeves...

I may contact him to ask what the hell was going on here during production.

If anyone has any ideas, notes or suggestions please feel free to respond. Am sure its not just me?
