Sports On TV: The Munsters’ 10 Greatest Sports Moments

Written by Brandon Stroud / 05.30.13


Because they’re monsters. Get it.

This week, Sports On TV looks at the 10 greatest sports moments from the hit 1964 sitcom ‘The Munsters,’ about a family of Universal Monsters who live in a creepy old mansion and try (and mostly fail) to interact with the normal people in their community. Sure, it’s the Go-Bots to ‘The Addams Family’s’ Transformers, but it was a fun show and a great example of 1960s sitcom joy, and come on, I know at least one of your parents loved this and made you watch it. Hopefully the same parent who made you watch ‘The Brady Bunch.’

If you’ve never seen the show, check out the list anyway, because it is all about a Frankenstein making life difficult for strangers. The list features appearances from Hall of Fame baseball players, legendary MMA instructors and a drag racing coffin that Rob Zombie made famous to a new generation. So yeah, click through to enjoy the 10 greatest sports moments from ‘The Munsters.’ And don’t forget to unlock our commenting badge while you’re at it.

March Mad Men, Because Mad Men And March Madness Had To Come Together Sometime

Written by Brandon Stroud / 03.15.13

Until somebody edits together a bunch of ‘Games Of Thrones’ characters discussing the college football playoff debate, here’s the best-ever instance of dramatic television characters being “sweet canned” into talking about sports: March Mad Men. Virginia Commonwealth University and 1960s Madison Avenue, together at last!

March Madness meets Mad Men. Don Draper, Roger Sterling, Ken Cosgrove, Peggy Olson, Pete Campbell, Betty Francis, and Bert Cooper have a lot at stake, and things are getting stressful. Who will win this year’s pool at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce?

We need more basketball references on ‘Mad Men.’ We’re almost to that point in time when Lew Alcindor changes his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, right? That was 1968. Can season 6 of ‘Mad Men’ feature Don Draper lighting a cigarette with his brow all furrowed, complaining about how Kareem has signed his death warrant (or something equally dramatic) before getting all wistful about 8MM sky hook footage?

All I know is that I’m not picking Ohio State, because Pete said it with that look on his face. Who would Trudy pick? This is important.

Taiwan Animation: Metta World Peace Literally Removes James Harden’s Head

Written by Brandon Stroud / 04.24.12

World Peace elbowing James Harden in the head and knocking it off is pretty predictable, but what isn’t is how Taiwan interprets the Pacers fan brawl. I never knew it started with a Molotov Cocktail!
