[edit] Storyline
Grandpa (Howard Morton) creates a "Sleeping Machine" which makes the user fall asleep for a selected amount of time. While the victim is asleep, his/her age does not change. The machine was tested on the entire family. When Grandpa accidentally sets the unit for 22 YEARS instead of 22 minutes, the family awakens to the world of 1988. They all struggle to find their way in the strange new era. It is just awful.
[edit] Theme Song
The theme song an updated version of the theme from the original series, with some newly written lyrics added towards the end:
Herman: We're the Munsters!
The rest of the family: We're the Munsters!
Herman: We went to sleep many years ago, and we woke up with a brand new show!
Herman: We're the Munsters!
The rest of the family: We're the Munsters!
The whole family: TODAY!
[edit] Goofs
- In, "A Little Russian Dressing," Grandpa says, "They're not the Brady Bunch, but they're mine," referring to his family. Many people think this is a goof, because the Brady Bunch was only on in the 70's, but there were Brady spin-offs in 1988.
