A Neat Alternative For Owners Of The Separate Season Sets!

"In a bold yet shrewd maneuver, Universal Home Entertainment offers to Munsters fans who wish to avoid double-dipping with The Munsters - The Complete Series set this single disc release of The Munsters Season One episode "Family Portrait." Like the Complete Series set (also available on October 7th), this disc features for the first time both the colorized version and original black and white version of the episode where the Munsters are selected as "the average American family" by Event Magazine. Featuring the final appearance of Beverley Owen as Marilyn Munster, "Family Portrait" (originally telecast December 17, 1964) guest stars Harvey Korman (The Carol Burnett Show) and runs 25 minutes for each version of the episode.

The Munsters look Great in Color!

"I received my copy a bit early, and the color episode looks GREAT! Someone made sure they got the colors right because the clothes of the characters and their make-up match color photos I have seen perfectly. After viewing this color episode, I went to the black and white episode of the same show, and missed the color! This series is perfect in black and white and yet I think a lot of people will enjoy seeing this episode in color. I highly recommend buying it. I award the DVD five stars."
Is that all there is?

"Don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with Universal putting out a single disc featuring the newly colorized version (along with original black and white version) of a 1st season episode of The Munsters. This allows people who already bought the two seasons of the TV series to bypass buying the complete series set. But for crying out loud! A list price of $19.98 and a selling price of $14 for one episode in two formats? What greed! This disc should have a list of $9.98. End of story!"
