Grandpa Vladamir (Vlad) Dracula.
The first Munsters Today episode I saw was "Flyweight Champion Of The World", where Grandpa's strong-man potion turns young Eddie into a fierce fighter who teaches the school bully a lesson he'd never forget. In this episode Eddie becomes even stronger than Herman!Some other Grandpa highligts of The Munsters Today series were when he accidentally recycled Herman in the episode "Just Another Pretty Face"; and when he zapped Eddie into a TV show called 'Those Terrible Teens' in the "Munster-Geist". And who can forget Grandpa's time machine in the superb "Misadventures In Time" . . . That was a great Grandpa moment where we get to see the mini Grandpa and Herman run amok. Great fun. Other favourite Grandpa episodes of mine are "Professor Grandpa", "Drac The Ripper" and "Melting pot". |
