<P> The Munster family's multi-level Victorian home had the fictional address of 1313 Mockingbird Lane in Mockingbird Heights . (The town's location is not specified in the series, but in later incarnations, it is described as a small town outside Los Angeles . Leo Durocher, who was then coaching with the Los Angeles Dodgers, guest - starred as himself in one episode, further hinting that the show was set in, or near, Los Angeles .) The exterior shots were filmed on the Universal Studios backlot . In the 1950s, it was assembled with other homes on the backlot . Until production of The Munsters in 1964, the house could be seen as a backdrop on many shows, including Leave It to Beaver . It was also the home of the family in Shirley (ABC, 1979--80) and has appeared in other TV shows such as Coach and (after a remodel) Desperate Housewives . The interiors for the Munsters's mansion were filmed entirely on an enclosed sound stage . </P> <P> In the fourth episode ("Rock - A-Bye Munster"), Lily buys a hot - rod and a hearse from a used car dealership and has them customised into one car (Munster Koach) for Herman's birthday present . The Munster Koach and DRAG - U-LA were designed by Tom Daniel and built by auto customizer George Barris for the show . The "Munster Koach" was a hot rod built on a lengthened 1926 Ford Model T chassis with a custom hearse body . It was 18 feet long and cost almost $20,000 to build . Barris also built the "DRAG - U-LA," a dragster built from a coffin (according to Barris, a real coffin was, in fact, purchased for the car), which Grandpa used to win back "The Munster Koach" after Herman lost it in a race . </P> <P> The instrumental theme song, titled "The Munsters's Theme", was composed by composer / arranger Jack Marshall . The theme song's lyrics, which the sitcom's co-producer Bob Mosher wrote, were never aired on CBS . Described by writer Jon Burlingame as a "Bernard - Herrmann - meets - Duane - Eddy sound", the theme was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1965 . A sample of the theme was used in the song Uma Thurman by Fall Out Boy . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Season </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Episodes </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Originally aired </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> First aired </Th> <Th> Last aired </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> Pilot episodes </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> unaired </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> Season 1 (1964--65) </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> 38 </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> September 24, 1964 (1964 - 09 - 24) </Td> <Td> June 10, 1965 (1965 - 06 - 10) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> Special </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> April 18, 1965 (1965 - 04 - 18) </Td> <Td> April 18, 1965 (1965 - 04 - 18) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> Season 2 (1965--66) </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> 32 </Td> <Td_colspan="1"> September 16, 1965 (1965 - 09 - 16) </Td> <Td> May 12, 1966 (1966 - 05 - 12) </Td> </Tr> </Table>
