Unhappy Granpa Munster

Goodbye Grandpa Munster...


Al Lewis Died at the age of 95 or 83?

He gave us all many good memories over the years.

We can never forget his Grandpa Munster character. He was the best...

Goodness gratious, not to be shallow or cold hearted, but he looked old way back when.

I used to watch reruns of that show at my grandma's when I was abou 12.... on Nick at Night. I remember some episodes, the opening theme had a more bass overtone to it, while a second version had a more electric guitar version.

Grandpa Munster was the funniest character on the show.

He also ran for Gov. as a Green Party candidate.

He was funny.

Honestly, I was shocked that he died; only because I had thought he died a long time ago.

I was kinda surprised he just passed away too, he did look pretty old way back when.
