on this day : The Munsters premieres – September 24, 1964

It’s hard to imagine a world without Lily Munster in it. Before September 24, 1964 there was Vampira, and the Addams Family had just debuted on TV the week previous, but with the premiere of The Munsters on CBS, TV viewers now had a seriously sexy vampire to spend their nights with.

The black-and-white monster sitcom also featured Herman and Grandpa and Eddie too but it was Lily (played by Yvonne De Carlo) who made the family from 1313 Mockingbird Lane one of the funnest, macabre things to ever happen to TV.
