The Munsters is a classic American TV sitcom that aired from September 24, 1964, to May 12, 1966, on CBS. It was created by Norman Lear and Al Lewis, alongside Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher, who were also behind Leave It to Beaver. The show stood out as a family-oriented sitcom but with an intriguing twist—its central characters were all friendly monsters living in a suburban environment.
I watched the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1987 Mel Brooks movie Spaceballs on BBC America. I hadn’t seen it since it was in the theater back in 1987. It is a science fiction parody movie of the Star Wars trilogy with some Star Trek, Alien, Wizard of Oz, 2001 a Space Odyssey and Planet of the Apes. It is co-written (with Ronny Graham and Thomas Meehan, produced and directed by Mel Brooks (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, History f the World Part 1, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Dracula: Dead and Loving It).
