It's been quite a while since I last spoke about anything to do with The Munsters and even longer when you take into account that i've have spoke about an episode of The Munsters TV series. Well as luck would have it I was looking for something horror related and well I thought it would be nice to talk about The Munsters some more and so then join me as I review the episode that I basically just an extended version of the shows unaired pilot with the episode in question being called simply just "My Fair Munster" enjoy.
The plot of this episode when another one of Marilyn's boyfriends run out on her Grandpa creates a love potion only it's not Marilyn that takes the love potion. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot being very simply but enjoyably simple in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Yvonne De Carlo as Lily Munster , Al Lewis as Grandpa and Beverley Owen as Marilyn Munster. Also starring in this episode is Butch Patrick as Eddie Munster , Fred Gwynne as Herman Munster , John Fiedler as Warren Bloom , Claire Carleton as Yolanda Cribbins , Edward Mallory as Jack and Batman: The Animated Series and DCAU star Bob Hastings as The Voice Of The Raven.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that the actual actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very review was in all honesty not that bad. With the episodes cast turning in some really good performances for the most part as there some actors who just don't turn that good of a performance especially when compared to the rest of the cast members in this very episode.
As I stated at the start of this very review this film is basically an extended version of the shows first two unaired pilot episodes. With this episode even going as far as to copy scenes from the original unaired pilots which was something that I didn't really like all that much as all they did was remind of those pilot episodes but at the same time it is interesting to see what the pilot story would have been like it was a full twenty two minuet episode instead of only being somewhere around fifteen minuets in length.
There is one thing that really bugged me about this episode and that's the fact that even tho the love potion is meant to make two people fall in love with each other then why does it work on Herman and Lily who are already madly in love with each other. If anything the potion should have made them fall even more love with each other and have them acting so far out of character that it becomes comical as all they'd be doing is paying attention to each other which would open the episode up to alot of jokes just based of off what their doing.
Another issue that I have with this episode is despite the driving force behind the episodes plot Marilyn has next to nothing to do in this episode. She only appears in a small handful of scenes and that's it which is weird because the plot of the episode gets started because of her and she is the main driving force behind the episode and yet she's given nothing to do in the episode so much so that I wouldn't blame anyone if they forgot that she was even in this episode as the character just straight up disappears from the episode for a large portion of the episodes running time with the same thing also being true for Eddie as well.
This episode is a good episode to show of the family's family dynamic as we get to see just how much this family truly means to each other. With Herman showing concern that Marilyn can't find true love and Grandpa even making a love potion to help his niece out this is something that you don't get to really see in comedy shows anymore as alot of them just have the family be a dysfunctional family all of the sake of comedy but in doing that they don't make them a believable family unit where as this show and this episode goes out of it's way to show us that they really are a kind and loving family that really will do anything to make each other happy.
Now then this episode has / had an exact grad total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and twenty eight seconds. Which from what I can remember is pretty much the bog standard running time for an episode of this show to last and to this episodes credit it does take full advantage of it's running time and while I would have liked it if this episode was a tad bit longer if this episode was even five minuets longer it would be stretching an already thinly drawn out story even thinner but I will admit that this episode does have some really good pacing to it tho.
So then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in his very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that' actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode having alot of really funny jokes in it with alot of this episodes joking being very character driven and as such they feel like jokes that these characters would actually tell to each other and this episodes jokes are just straight up cute and funny jokes as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this wasn't that bad of an episode but that's also the issue as it wasn't that good of an episode either with this episode just dropping Marilyn who is central to the episodes plot and just doing things that don't add up or make sense in the grand scheme of things in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Image actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams
