Did you know
• The first season opening credits were an outrageous parody of the opening credits of The Donna Reed Show (1958), which always began with Donna Reed lovingly passing out lunches to her departing family members as they left the house one by one. Yvonne De Carlo, as Lily Munster, did the same thing.
• The show was shot in black and white because the studio did not want to pay an extra $10,000 per episode for color.
• Whenever he gives his birth country, Grandpa always says he was born in the Holy Roman Empire. According to Bram Stoker's 1897 book, Dracula was born in the Holy Roman Empire in modern day Romania.
