Peacock Is Streaming an Iconic ’60s TV Show That Horror Fans Love

by

Peacock regularly adds new movies and TV series to its library each month, offering some of the latest sensations in television and cinema for its subscribers. However, this NBCUniversal streaming service isn’t just about the newest releases; it’s also a veritable vault of beloved classics from past decades. Shows such as The Office, Twisted Metal, and Love Island USA share the spotlight with a timeless gem from the ’60s, which not only holds a significant place in that decade’s television history but is also considered a horror classic. With fans still enamored of this show more than six decades after its initial release, it’s definitely worth giving it a try.

The TV series under discussion is none other than “The Munsters,” which was created by Allan Burns and Chris Hayward for CBS. This sitcom, airing from 1964 to 1966, spanned just two seasons and a total of 70 episodes, but it left an indelible mark on pop culture that has solidified “The Munsters” as an enduring classic. You can stream both seasons of this beloved series on Peacock today.

In a humorous twist, the TV show “The Munsters” blended American suburban life, traditional sitcoms, and Universal horror movies. It revolved around an unusual family of Transylvanian-Americans who were monsters – Frankenstein’s monster (Herman Munster), his vampire wife Lily, their werewolf-like son Eddie, Grandpa, and Marilyn. The show starred Fred Gwynne as Herman, Yvonne De Carlo as Lily, Butch Patrick as Eddie, Al Lewis as Grandpa, Beverly Owen and later Pat Priest as Marilyn. This eccentric family lived at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, trying to adapt to ordinary daily life despite their supernatural identities.

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I must say that The Munsters, reminiscent of the eerie charm found in The Addams Family, has earned a fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes with an impressive 83% critics score and a staggering 93% audience score. This classic sitcom has continued to captivate audiences over the years, receiving numerous revivals such as feature-length films, animated specials, and even a sequel series.

The journey began in 1966 with Munster, Go Home!, followed by the animated one-hour special The Mini-Munsters in 1973, and continued into the ’80s and ’90s with The Munsters Today, which aired for three seasons.

Last year, it was announced that Universal Studio Group is working on a reboot of The Munsters titled 1313, keeping the spirit of this beloved family alive and well in the modern era.
