In 1965, The Munsters was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series but lost to The Rogues. In the 21st
Century, it received several TV Land Award nominations, including one for Most Uninsurable Driver ( Herman Munster ).
The series originally aired on Thursdays at 7:30 PM on CBS from September 24, 1964 to May 12, 1966. Seventy episodes were
produced. The show was canceled after ratings had dropped to a series low in the face of competition from ABC's Batman. Patrick
said, "I think 'Batman' was to blame. 'Batman' just came along and took our ratings away." However, The Munsters found a large
audience in syndication. A spinoff series ensued, as well as several films, including one with a theatrical release and several
more recent attempts to reboot it.
