Ok, so I'm 23 years behind. I am a major Munsters fan... only of the original show... until now! Actually, I didn't even know that this movie existed until fairly recently.I was 6 when The Munsters first aired on TV. We watched it whenever the outdoor antenna pulled it in.When I found out about "The Munsters Today" with new actors playing the roles I didn't have any interest in it. The Munsters were Gwynne, Lewis, De Carlo, Priest and Patrick. Period.The more that I've read about some of the original actors in these day of infinite information via the WWW, the more I realized that I"m really more a fan of the characters than the actors (though I will always prefer the originals).I decided to see how bad the replacements were. I was quite surprised. If the original Munsters didn't exist, this would hold it's own very well.The new actors do try to imitate the original actors for the most part so the originals were foundational to the cast for this movie.It was actually very entertaining and funny, especially with the inside jokes which original Munsters fans will get. The guest appearance by Yvonne, Al, Pat and Butch was awesome and seems like a stamp of approval and a passing of the baton.I very much enjoyed the movie and am glad to own it. Nothing will replace the original classic show but "Here Come The Munsters" kept the legacy alive.Now I have to check out "The Munsters Today." I'm catching up.

This is one of the best TV movies i have Seen and me being a Movie Buff Never Even Knew it existed until i caught it on TV the other day. The Plot Does Seem to Linger a Little From the Series in Places but the Acting is Great and i Highly Recommend Whoever Reads this to get a Copy and Watch it.The Actors are Awesome Don't Remember it Saying Anything about Herman Having a Sister in the Series and Anothor thing that makes this TV Movie so good is the fact that most of the Original actors Made Cameos except for The Original Herman Because Fred Had Pasted Away Years Before.But seeing cameos of the others is kinda cool and almost makes up for the fact that they waited to long to make a sequel to the great series

This is the best effort yet to update the old series. The acting was good, the casting was good, and it managed to capture some of the feel of the original series. The cameo by the surviving members of the original cast in the restaurant being served by Herman was a nice tip of the hat too. Christine Taylor seems to be doing well playing updated characters, first Marcia Brady, then Marilyn Munster, then Marcia again. Oh well, she looks good here.

When I say a little bit of luck I mean that this movie would have been nothing if it wasn't for the acting. I found the storyline to be a good one but the old munsters click wasn't there.I don't know if it was the way it was set up or the way the story drifted off but something was wrong.Edward Herrmann was excellent in the role of Herman Munster as was the rest of the cast.If you found the series to be excellent well this is one for you.If you have seen this movie and loved it well then try the addams family series or the newly made movies Addams family, Addams family values, Addams family reunion.A great movie for those who like Creepy munster stuff.
