Heh-heh. In 1964 we got our first color TV (I was 4). But I was still watching a 13" B&W television in my bedroom as late as 1977.

Am I the only one who was shocked to eventually find out that Herman Munster was blue?

B&W was fine for horror and monster movies. I like color for everything else though.

I am not sure about 217 but for the one labelled 218 see scene 465. The specific photos may have been filmed separately (I do not specifically remember) but the scene I mentioned is probably the one.


I wrote and directed the scene. It's difficult to be objective but let's just say I'm probably a better photographer. Ironically it was all inspired by a b/w photo. :mrgreen:

It's a dirty job but I got to do it for over 20 years. Thank you.

You were not. In the 1960s I owned a Herman Munster talking puppet, and it was definitely green!
