* The few times we see Marilyn in college, it is clear that her professors and fellow students are impressed with her intelligence; in those few scenes, it is made clear that there is much more to her than a pretty face, an uncommon thing for a television series of that time.

* Eddie winning the race [[spoiler: ''without'' Grandpa's magic pills.]] How did he do it? He cared that much about not making Herman, his coach, feel bad. Doubles as Heartwarming.

* Wolfgang's experiment being a success (albeit not at all in the way he wanted).
* Meta: the attention to detail in the famous Mockingbird Lane home is astonishing and beautiful. It was clearly made with diligence and by a true fan of the original series.

** The show itself could be considered this, as the entire concept taught the viewer to look beyond unique appearances to see the heart beneath. In a way, the monstrous Munsters were kinder and more human sometimes than their actually human fellow townsfolk.

* Both the season 1 and 2 theme songs are pretty awesome, but notably s2's surf rock version.

* Meta example: Music/RobZombie finally getting his pitch to make a live-action theatrical release of the Munsters greenlit after decades of trying. Rob is an enormous fan of the show, collecting not just loads of memorabilia in his house but even writing a whole song about Grandpa's Dragula and having the ''real'' Munster Koach in his music video (he was unfortunately unable to get the titular vehicle due to scheduling errors). Not only that, but he is friends with Eddie Munster himself, Butch Patrick, and got him and Pat Priest (season 2 Marilyn Munster) to have roles in his movie. Then there's the care he put into the remaking the Mockingbird Lane mansion down to the littlest details. You couldn't find a bigger Munster fan than in Rob, and it's clear this movie is his love letter to his beloved childhood show.

-->“The lesson I want you to learn is that it doesn’t matter what you look like. You could be tall or short, or fat or thin, or ugly- or handsome, like your father- or you can be black or yellow or white, it doesn’t matter. But what does matter is the size of your heart and the strength of your character.”

* In a way, how quick Lily is to go out and find work in a time where it was still expected of women to be housewives. She takes on a number of jobs, ranging from normal ones like secretary to nurse's aid, to more unusual ones like modeling or welding. She's clearly driven to support her family and has a range of talents. This was kind of progressive for the early 1960s.

* Lily was rather liberated for a 60s housewife. Besides working, she was independent, assertive, and never afraid to stand up to Herman, even during his fits. In fact, he was the one wrapped around ''her'' finger!
