Movie ReviewsA Spooktacular Munsters Deal That's Really Wizard! Servo | Atlanta, GA USA | 08/25/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "From the windy Mockingbird Heights at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, The Munsters come to send goosebumping, rib-tickling '60s wit and humor to your funny bone with The Munsters - The Complete Series! Previously released as separate season sets, each with its own history of issues Munsters fans are all too familiar with, The Munsters Complete Series doesn't just simply repackage the episodes but also attempts to do the fans proud by righting the wrongs that haunted the previous sets. Remember the dual-sided discs? Gone. Remember the flimsy, gimmicky, craptastic "Herman's Head" box you had to fight with to get the discs out of? Gone. Instead you'll find... For your convenience and viewing pleasure, Universal has repackaged from the Season 1 and Season 2 sets every classic episode from the series (and respective special features) on 12 single-sided DVDs (including two bonus features) all in an exclusive collectible box set with nice package art for hours of eerie Munsters fun, and for a very reasonable price! Special Features include: * "America's First Family of Fright" * "Fred Gwynne: More Than a Munster" * "Yvonne De Carlo: Guilded Lily" * "Al Lewis: Forever Grandpa" * The Munsters Unaired Pilot * The Munsters "Family Portrait" Episode (Color Version) (Note: If you own the original separate season sets then you already have The Munsters - Complete Series episodes and special features minus the previously unreleased The Munsters "Family Portrait" episode (color version), and should consider The Munsters - Family Portrait separate single disc release which also features both the color and original B&W version before deciding.) Bonus Features: * Munster, Go Home! (1966) * The Munsters' Revenge (1981) Season 1: Munster Masquerade My Fair Munster A Walk on the Mild Side Rock-a-Bye Munster Pike's Pique Lo-Cal Munster Tin Can Man Herman the Great Knock Wood, Here Comes Charlie Autumn Croakus The Midnight Ride of Herman Munster The Sleeping Cutie The Munsters' Family Portrait Grandpa Leaves Home Herman's Rival Grandpa's Call of the Wild All-Star Munster If a Martian Answers, Hang Up Eddie's Nickname Bats of a Feather Don't Bank on Herman Dance With Me, Herman Follow That Munster Love Locked Out Come Back, Little Googie Far Out Munsters Munsters on the Move Movie Star Munster Herman the Rookie Country Club Munsters Love Comes to Mockingbird Heights Mummy Munster Lily Munster, Girl Model Munster the Magnificent Herman's Happy Valley Hot Rod Herman Herman's Raise Yes, Galen, There Is a Herman (aka My Friend Herman) Season 2: Herman's Child Psychology Herman, the Master Spy Bronco Bustin' Munster Herman Munster, Shutter Bug Herman, Coach of the Year Happy 100th Anniversary Operation Herman Lily's Star Boarder John Doe Munster The Man for Marilyn Herman's Driving Test Will Success Spoil Herman Munster?

Great Value! " Just In Time For The Halloween Season! Paul C. Visby | Eagan, MN United States | 10/09/2008 (3 out of 5 stars) "This is a hard product to review. I love "The Munsters" and cannot say anything bad about the episodes. I have to give this 5-stars for the content: Everything that was on the previous releases - plus the fact that Universal FINALLY put all of this on single-sided discs. But, I have to take points off for Universal NOT fixing problems with the original releases: The discs are exactly the same - menus, content, and "problems"! The first season episodes should have been spread out more - disc 6 (originally disc 3B) only has four episodes - the others have six or seven. The colorized version of "Family Portrait" has been added to disc 2 (originally 1B). Be warned! It is not perfect. I originally watched this episode on my TV in the living room and it was awful. It looked as if it was one of the first colorization tests. But I re-watched on my bedroom TV and it was a lot better. I guess it all depends on your TV's settings. The Munsters and their house are actually done well and look as if filmed in color. The problem is with the "human" characters. Their skin tones are off and it looks fakey. If only other studios could do the excellent and realistic job that Paramount did with the "Lucy Goes to Scotland" episode of "I Love Lucy." But it is a pretty good attempt at colorization. It was a treat to see what it might have looked like if filmed in color, but I prefer the look and feel of the B&W version. The second season episodes still have the crappy Universal logo and music before EVERY episode. And there is no way to skip it. I was praying that the studio would remove this (also, it isn't seen with the first season episodes). So, 5-stars for putting everything in one package, the episodes themselves, single-sided discs, and the bonus features (including the colorized episode). But I drop the rating to 3-stars for not spreading out the first season episodes, the low sound on a couple of first season episodes that should have been corrected, and the Universal logo w/music before every single second season episode with no way to bypass it. Universal made a good attempt but fumbled by not making all the necessary corrections. But I am still VERY happy to have one of my favorite shows on DVD. Oh, the single box contains two digi-packs. The first one is Season One with six discs. The second one is Season Two with six discs (four are the episodes, one is the bonus biographies, one is the two movies). Each has the disc breakdowns and the discs overlap - two per page. Now you make the decision on whether to buy this. If you already own the Season Sets and don't mind the 2-sided discs and have the separate two-movie disc, then I wouldn't buy this. There is nothing different except the colorized episode - which is now available separately. If you would prefer single-sided discs and want everything (which includes the two-movie disc) in one package, than this product is for you. I hope this helps you decide." This is What You've Been Waiting For Mark Ebert | Lancaster OH | 08/24/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you're a fan of the Munsters and haven't purchased the Seasons as individual sets, this is what you've been waiting for. This box sets not only includes all 70 originally aired episodes, but comes with every bonus feature available on the original two sets. Additionally, this set contains the motion picture "Munster, Go Home" and the TV special from 1981. "The Munsters: Family Portrait"--sold separately for those fans who did purchase the other sets--is also featured in this collection. This set features twelve one-sided discs (unlike the two-sided discs from the original individual season sets that some find hard to deal with and annoying). This set is truly a dream come true for any fan of this unique '60's sitcom. Available October seventh (2008) it should arrive in time to be a wonderful Halloween treat!" STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR TRUE MUNSTERS FANS JACK LOBO | Greenwich,CT USA | 11/09/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "If you're an owner of the previous 2 box sets and the Two Movie Fright Fest, this new package will probably disappoint. Aside from the colorized bonus feature of Family Portrait, which I would classify as acceptable not stellar, is exactly the same thing. The Menu boards are exactly the same. Season 1 has scene select, Season 2 doesn't. Plus every episode of season 2 still has that long get on your nerves UNIVERSAL STUDIOS fanfare. No you can't skip it. It'll just go to the next episode with that same fanfare. The true Munsters fan will quickly cringe at the inferior musical cues substitutes that were not corrected from the previous release. Even the episode Knock Wood, Here Comes Charlie still has a low volume. Very little effort went into correcting the shortcomings of the previous sets. In fact, aside from the convenience of being transferred to single sided discs there was really no effort at all. Universal studios should fire their lawyers. They should have had the courage to say " This is how the show was made. This is how the show is presented on TV and this is how we will present the dvd. We will keep all the original musical cues intact". I guess people with guts are becoming more scarce every day. Really, doesn't Universal have the faith that the profits of a properly made Munsters set would have more than covered the costs of monies owed to other entities that hold the rights to the music. I can understand Disney being difficult to deal with for "Someday My Prince Will Come" because they are a heartless company. But The Standells? Come on now! What possible power could they have that Universal was afraid to use "Just A Little Bit" instead of that sickening music that wasn't the Standells at all, when Eddie played them on the phonograph in the opening of Far Out Munster. Go figure. The final insult, to us the buyers, instead of using the inexpensive yet convenient thin snap covers, they created two triple fold outs that holds 2 discs per side overlapping each other. If you don't own the previous set then I recommend you get this. If you do own the previous set, don't be in too much of a hurry. Why did I give this 4 stars? Because 80% of the set is pretty good. The 20% I gripe about is like a black hole that just sucks the good right into it. I guess even badly released Munsters is better than no Munsters at all."
