While they only made two series in black and white in the 60's, there was a misguided attempt to bring the show back (and in colour) between 1988 - 1991
Entitled 'The Munsters Today', the reboot starred John Schuck as Herman, Lee (Catwoman) Meriwether as Lily, Jason Marsden as Eddie, Hilary Van Dyke as Marilyn and Howard Morton as Grandpa
It is best forgotten!
There were also a handful of Munster films:
Munster, Go Home! (1966) - which was produced immediately after the television series completed filming for its original run, and included the original cast with the exception of Marilyn, who was played by Debbie Watson instead of Pat Priest from the series
The Munsters' Revenge (1981) - TV Movie which reunited the original cast members Fred Gwynne, Yvonne De Carlo and Al Lewis. Marilyn was now played by Jo McDonnell and Eddie by K. C. Martel
Here Come the Munsters (1995) - TV Movie featuring Edward Herrmann as Herman, Veronica Hamel as Lily, Robert Morse as Grandpa, Christine Taylor as Marilyn and Mathew Botuchis as Eddie
The Munsters' Scary Little Christmas (1996) - TV Movie with Sam McMurray as Herman, Ann Magnuson as Lily, Bug Hall as Eddie, Sandy Baron as Grandpa and Elaine Hendrix as Marilyn
The only one worth watching is the 1966 one of course
