Overview: The Munsters of Mockingbird Lane thrilled audiences of all ages with the weekly spooky comedy series when it originally aired in the 1960s and then through decades of reruns.

Now, for the first time, long-lost television appearances of the cast�Fred Gwynne (Herman), Yvonne De Carlo (Lily), Al Lewis (Grandpa), Pat Priest (Marilyn) and Butch Patrick (Eddie) are available to be enjoyed again in this historical�and hysterical�collection.

DVD Verdict: Marineland Carnival & More Lost Treasures with The Munsters TV Show Cast Members includes the hour-long Marineland Carnival 1965 special, starring the Munsters, a 1966 full-color Munsters-themed �episode� with Fred Gwynne as Herman on The Danny Kaye Show, additional rare skits and vintage talk show interviews with The Munsters TV stars, an all-new featurette (Munster Memories) with Butch Patrick, hit music from the New Christy Minstrels, guest appearances by Edie Adams, Joey Bishop and more delights!

Prior to this DVD release, shot on videotape, the Marineland Carnival: The Munsters Visit Marineland 1965 special was believed to be lost for many years, with only a commercial for the broadcast surviving.

Subsequently, a weathered kinescope print was unearthed, made available for viewing at the Paley Center in New York, and surreptitiously made its way online!

But now, and with the aid of the lovely people over there at MPI Home Video, this delightfully kooky, 52 minute, black and white flashback is here on DVD and is as wondrously brilliant as you could have ever hoped it to be.

Starring Fred Gwynne (Herman Munster), Yvonne De Carlo (Lily Munster), Al Lewis (Grandpa Munster), Pat Priest (Marilyn Munster), Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster), Sid Gould (Tour Guide) and directed by Bob Lehman, The Munsters took in the sights at Marineland ... as only they themselves could do!

That said, you really have to be a devoted Munsters fan, as all they really do is wander around and watch sea life acts do their thing, but nonetheless, the nostalgic aspects of this unearthed gem are ten-fold.

As for the other lost treasures, my personal favorite is the 1966 full-color Munsters-themed �episode� with Fred Gwynne as Herman on The Danny Kaye Show. This is the one where Kaye is at his funniest, in my humble opinion, playing a humorous Dracula news reporter!

The other additional rare skits and vintage talk show interviews with The Munsters TV stars is a joy to behold also, as is Fred playing Herman Munster on the Red Skelton Show, and he and Red cracking each other up without even trying to!

There�s a really fascinating new interview with Butch Patrick, where he reveals how he got to audition for The Munsters. Fascinatingly, he had just finished filming The Real McCoys and had moved back to Illinois with his grandmother, right when The Munsters was being cast.

He had actually already just turned down a role before it due to a make-up issue and the mother and son actors in the pilot were told to be removed by the network if the show was to go forward. He was flown out for a screen test to California and the rest is history!

Oh, and there are some fun commercials included here, as well as some rather lovely guest appearances by Edie Adams, Joey Bishop and one or two more delights too!
