Getting To Know The Munsters

The Munsters was a television show that ran on CBS from 1964-1966.  During that time, they aired 70 episodes. I was a big fan of television's The Munsters, which was similar to The Addam's Family (which ran at the same time on ABC from 1964-1966). While The Addam's Family got more recognition, I enjoyed The Munsters with their "Leave It To Beaver" innocence and humor. Do you remember The Munsters?

The Twilight ZoneI am a big fan of horror television series.  Today, aside from HBO's True Blood vampire series (which is fantastic - you should check it out), there really isn't much on that stimulates the mind these old shows used to have.  Most of them were just a series of short stories depicting the strange and the horrible, while some actually had an ongoing plot line.  I remember when I was little they used to scare me to death.  Here are five of my favorite horror shows from the past.

Five TV Shows Canceled Way Too Early

carnivaleIt makes me crazy when the networks cancel TV shows that I start watching and get really into.  Sometimes it's due to poor ratings, and sometimes it's because the networks feel they can make more money from less expensicve shows to produce, such as reality shows.  They do this with total very little consideration to the faithful viewers.  HBO is probably the guiltiest of this injustice.  Here's a list of five shows that were canceled too soon and should still be running today:
