When Eddie (Butch Patrick) brings home a tape recorder he has borrowed from friendly disc jockey Dick Willet (Gary Owens), Herman (Fred Gwynne) amuses himself by recording his own rendition of "Dry Bones." Upon hearing Herman's vocal histrionics, Willet declares publicly that the "unknown"singer is on the verge of stardom. Predictably, Herman's ego swells to ridiculous proportions, forcing Grandpa (Al Lewis) to take drastic measures involving "Nothin' Muffins" (a gag apparently lifted from one of Al Capp's "Li'l Abner" comic strips). This episode was originally telecast December 2, 1965; one week later, The Munsters was pre-empted for a little animated special called A Charlie Brown Christmas.
