Gwynne Before Herman Munster
Fred Gwynne went to Harvard University where he later became the president and cartoonist of the popular Harvard Lampoon. Considering the reputation of the staff members, Gwynne fit right in. Writers later started National Lampoon and it became a top comedy magazine in no time. Many great comedians in those days followed in his footsteps.
A Cheerios Commercial
Fascinatingly, the actors of the show were so big that they were asked to appear in a Cheerios commercial. It was based on the show and drawn back to cheerios. Eddie narrated it by saying, “Daddy said they’re the best thing since bat wings!” We commend Cheerios for the smart marketing move.
