The Munsters: America's First Family of Fright

Documentary which explains how Universal Studios nurtured and passed "The Munsters" over to CBS, where it became the show we all know and love today. It's interesting to learn that "The Munsters" was initially going to be a cartoon, until Universal heads decided that live action was the way to go. Casting is covered in quite a bit of detail, and a lot of analysis centers on what made the series work and how it has enjoyed popularity, decades since new episodes stopped being made.
