The Munsters was a black-and-white American television sitcom that aired for 70 episodes in the 1960s and continued in syndication thereafter. Depicting the home life of a family of monsters, much of the humor derived from the fact that they did not have the slightest idea that they were in any way different from their neighbors. Comedy also came from their daily interaction with modern-day society and the horrified or frightened reactions of those around them at their ghoulish appearance.
