The Real Reason Marilyn Left The Munsters Twice

[jimbo]

Surprised you didn't mention that Pat Priest's mom was Ivy Baker Priest who was the Treasurer of the United States. Her signature was on all our paper money for the 8 years of the Eisenhower administration. Later, she was Ronald Reagan's State Treasurer for the 8 years he was Governor of California. 🙂

You do a very good job at this. Your videos are highly informative, quick, not too long, not too short. And your voice has just enough inflection. And, thank you for not playing background music. After all we are trying to listen.

Could you do a tribute video to the late Richard Moll who recently passed away. He was most famous for his role on Night Court. No one seems to be talking about his passing, it seems Matthew Perry's passing is getting way more attention. Both were iconic actors.

I remember watching this show in my youth! Oops, I just outed my age!

Munsters was a bit before my time, however Mockingbird Lane 2012 had a great pilot. Jerry O'Connell as Herman, Eddie Izzard as Grandpa, Charity Wakefield as Marilyn, Portia de Rossi as Lilly. I forget who played Eddie. It even had good ratings but disappointed, it wasn't picked up for series.

The one I remember most is Pat Priest.

I remember watching the show on Nick at Nite with my mom when I was younger. The episodes were sometimes out of order and I remember once they played two episodes back to back with the original and the new Marylin. I asked her “mom, why is she different this time? Was it one of Grandpa’s potions?” She had to explain how they changed the actress.

I had no idea there were 2 Marilyn’s in the Munsters series. Then again I was born in the late 70’s. Never watched any of the reunion shows. My favorite was Grandpa Munster. He was always getting into trouble. 🧛🏻‍♂️

[SciHeartJourney]

I don't recal them ever calling Maryline "odd" or "weird", but I do recall on MANY occasions that Lily would sorrowfully refer to her as "plain". As if.🤣

I knew Pat Priest for a short while. In the 1970's she was the long time girlfriend of a good friend and business associate of mine. In person, she was a lovely and personable lady, class all the way.

Great srory on the Munsters and. Marilyn lilys sistera kid. PAT WAS THE BEST MARILYN.

Once Marilyn stopped looking like Marilyn, my suspension of disbelief failed. I loved the original Monroe look.

I really can't decide on which Marilyn Munster I like best. They were both beautiful. But, I think Beverley Owen had a sweeter looking face and Pat Priest had slightly more curves. However, I still cannot decide which Marilyn is my favorite. Decisions, decisions, decisions. 🙄 But, I know which Munster character is my fave...Herman Munster (Fred Gwynne). That was easy. 😊

My favorite Marilyn will always be the original! And my favorite Munster is a tie because I feel like separating them would be wrong after all of their time together! Uncle Herman and Grandpa!! If I had been 30 years older I would have been a super fan of Fred Gwynne!!! I just had the biggest crush on him from Car 54 Where Are You? To My Cousin Vinny I just thought he was what a gentleman should be!💙

I wish Edith stayed on the show forever❤❤❤
