Deleted line(s) 38 (click to see context) :
* {{Adorkable}}: The family themselves, being hopelessly naive about how their appearances, home, and way of living frighten their neighbors, but it never stops them from being optimistic and having fun.
Deleted line(s) 48 (click to see context) :
* BrokenAesop: Eddie has a tendency to brag to the other kids about Herman's abilities, to the point of making them up. This often gets Herman in over his head as he tries to make good on his son's lies. Eddie is never punished for this.

** A FunnyForeigner family with physical appearances, cooking, hobbies, and overall culture vastly differ from the American suburbs they've moved to and face prejudice as a result. Note that this show was also a response to the then-ongoing Civil Rights movement.
** Herman accidentally buys a stolen car and is jailed instead of the real thief. Think about it- an ethnic minority is profiled, wrongly imprisoned, and his family members who resemble him can't get justice, but the officer working in the building agrees to speed up the process once he sees Marilyn, the white-passing relative. The cops were so focused on the man who looked different that they almost let the true criminal get away with it. It's a very light depiction of a serious issue going on today with racial minorities in the West, particularly the USA.

** This is lampshaded in the pilot episode of "The Munsters Today", when the developer points out, when his younger colleague mentions the house is choked with cobwebs that the Munsters kept it that way '''''deliberately'''''.
* FakeShemp: A reverse example. Due to casting changes between the pilot and final series of "The Munsters Today", the intro conspicuously avoids showing anyone except Herman and Lily stepping out of the sleeping chambers, and eventually they just drop the original premise outright.

** Lily and Grandpa eat the same things as everybody else (including turkey at Thanksgiving). They usually sleep at night, Lily even sleeping aside Herman in an ordinary bed. Probably no fangs, and they have normal reflections nor any weakness to garlic or crosses. Lily and Grandpa have just been alive . . . or not dead . . .for a long, long time. Grandpa does has a taste for blood, given his attempt to bite Lily's hand in the first season opening; in one episode, he also chides Herman for pounding (tent) stakes in his presence. However, in America at least, Lily seems to view such things as inappropriate.
