I didn't realize, MB, that The Munsters Today lasted that long, with a couple more episodes than the original series. I only saw maybe three, four max, episodes and it just wasn't the same. There simply was no way to capture the essence of how the original cast portrayed the characters (Lee Meriwether came the closest as Lilly). Herman was too much of a baffoon. Fred Gwynne found that perfect balance between that and still showing strength. Sometimes, everything in a show or movie flows perfectly because everything, from casting to whatever, blends. It can't be replicated.
