  1. As a yoot I probably watched every episode of that comedy.

  2. Al Lewis was a real character, and from what I've read about his life, he would have been a great guy to have a few beers with.

  4. Never could stand The Munsters as a kid. The Addams Family all the way for me. My high school chemistry teacher could've been the double for Gomez Addams, and had similar voice and grin. It was uncanny. He was one of the best teachers I had. Funny as hell.

  6. Al ran for governor of NY on the Green Party ticket back in 2000.

  7. While I love Al as Grampa, I do think that Matt Berry from "What we do in the Shadows" would be a perfect Grampa in a remake situation. Especially when he says "Bat".
