28 Facts You Might Not Know about The Munsters

(Image: CBS)

Pay a visit to the family that lives at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. You'll meet the Munsters, a delightful group that isn't monstrous--once you get to know them.

Though The Munsters lasted only 2 seasons from 1964-1966, it remains a popular show and an icon of American television. Here are a few tidbits of trivia about the show that you might enjoy.

1. The original unaired 1964 pilot episode was shot in color. Joan Marshall played the mother role, then named Phoebe. David Derman played Eddie Munster.

2. Although the first pilot episode was shot in color, the rest of the series was shot in black and white to save money. It certainly adds to the horror ambiance, don’t you think?

3. Bert Lahr, who played the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz, was offered the role of Grandpa Munster.

Flower Skull - Grow Or Die


Flower Skull by AntoFax

We all begin life as a seed, we return to the earth when we die, we each have our own distinctive smell, and some people have very pretty faces. In these ways we are a lot like flowers, and life is essentially the same whether you're a plant or a person, we're all just trying to stay fed, be desired and grow. But is our desirability diminished by the thorns we grow to keep the world at bay?

Nature lovers and toughies agree- this Flower Skull t-shirt by AntoFax is one totally fresh design!

Imagining Disney World in Ruins

Photographers love to explore abandoned amusement parks and many others love to look at those pictures and read about them. But one place you probably won't be seeing abandoned pictures of anytime soon is perhaps the world's most popular amusement -Disney World.

Since we probably won't be seeing pictures like this in reality (at least not for a long time), DeviantArt user eledoremassis02 took the liberty of imagining the apocalyptic visions of the current happiest place on Earth. The series is fascinating for both disney-lovers and haters who wonder what Disney World would look like long after the magic has left the kingdom.

The Arcade Superstars Of Saturday Supercade

(Image Link)

From 1983 to 1985 America's video game obsessed youth had a good reason to stay home on Saturday mornings- the Saturday Supercade, an animated series on CBS that featured many of our favorite video game characters.

The legends of the arcade and console were brought to life in colorful 2D animation segments, and when the Supercade hit the airwaves we realized the story behind our favorite arcade games didn't stop at the kill screen.

(YouTube Link)

Characters like Donkey Kong and Frogger seemed fairly slim on storyline in the games, but when they appeared in their own 11-minute long animated episodes kids couldn't wait to watch...and play all the games afterwards!

Frogger-

(Image Link 1/2)

Leaping in-between cars across a busy intersection was just the beginning for young Frogger, an intrepid reporter for the Swamp Gazette.  

Frogger had a crime solving mystery kids vibe and a much deeper storyline than you'd expect given the simplicty of the game, and yet young Frogger still found time to play in traffic in almost every episode.

Watch a clip of the show here

Donkey Kong-

(Image Link 1/2)

Back before he went exploring the world with his son Diddy, the giant gorilla named Donkey had his own segment on the Supercade, featuring comedian Soupy Sales as the voice of Donkey Kong.

Donkey has escaped from the zoo, and it's up to Zookeeper Mario and his gal pal Pauline to bring him back, except criminals keep getting in their way!

Donkey always helps put the criminals behind bars, proving he's a good gorilla, but he can't resist kidnapping Pauline every chance he gets either!

CDC Reviews America's Consumption of Fruits and Vegetables

Image: CDC

The CDC released a review of how well America is doing in terms of eating the daily recommendation of fruits and vegetables. The recommended amount is two cups of fruit and three cups of vegetables per day. Americans ate only one cup of each daily, on average. Of all the states, California ate the most fruits and vegetables, but even their totals weren't all that good. Thirteen percent of California residents ate enough vegetables and seventeen percent ate enough fruit. 

See the CDCs review in entirety, including the remainder of the state breakdown above, here.

Futuristic Lexus Glows to the Beat of the Driver's Heart


YouTube Link

One could say that Lexus Australia had a hand on the proverbial pulse of its customer base when it designed this item: a car that pulses light in the rhythm of its driver's heartbeat. The car, called the RC F coupe, is finished with reactive paint that glows when the car is on. The paint then lights in time with sensors attached to the driver that detect his/her pulse. See the mechanism in action in the footage above. Just don't buy this car and ride with any passenger who is a love interest to whom you're playing hard to get. Then the jig will be up.

A Power Packed Collection Of Animated Comic Book Covers

Comic book covers are drawn to invoke a feeling from the reader, convincing them to buy the book with a promise of over-the-top superheroic action or out-of-this-world artwork.

The more action packed the series the more likely it is to have a splashy, action packed cover, giving the reader a taste of what’s to come when they peel back the cover and dive in.

The Staff at ComicsAlliance have put together an eye popping collection of the 25 Greatest Animated Comic Book Covers, see if you can browse through them all without being hypnotized by the heroism.
