Available now on Amazon Prime Video — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason The Munsters keeps coming up in conversation. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate The Munsters from the crowd. A family of friendly monsters that have misadventures all while never quite understanding why people react to them so strangely. Fred Gwynne and Yvonne De Carlo lead a cast that never overplays a joke. It ran for 2 seasons (1964–1966), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What keeps The Munsters from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

The Munsters is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. The New Addams Family is the obvious comparison, but The Munsters earns its own place alongside it. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Fred Gwynne anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

The Munsters wrapped up in 1966, created by Chris Hayward, Bob Mosher and Allan Burns — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
