Courtship of Eddies’s… wrong child actor

Butch Patrick as Eddie Munster. Now I have to search out a DVD of the Munsters to look for a skateboarding episode. Sounds like a job for Scott Starr. Enlarge-o-rama.

    Fortuantely, Eddie is still around as Dr Know, better known as Brandon Cruz, still skates, surfs and is dad.

  • You also need to tell your audience where they can purchase that t-shirt.

    Strople: didn’t you wear socks like that in the old days?

    nice frontal

  • scotty is already all over this…

  • Im sure it was just a publicity photo and not actually a clip from an episode. Brandon Cruz was mini Munster ? I didnt think he was.

    • I think this is why there is so much confusion about who played who on these shows. The show, “Courtship of Eddies Father” had Brandon Cruz singer of the band Dr.Know, who also had a brief stint with the Dead Kennedy’s.

      Butch Patrick, who played Eddie Munster, had some lame 80’s MTV video called “What ever Happened to Eddie?”

      As a kid I thought there was only 1 Eddie on T.V., so I figured Eddie Munster was also the Eddie, the son of Bill Bixby on the show “The Courtship of Eddies Father.”

  • Sorry to say, there was no episode of the Munsters with Skateboarding that i know of, there was a scene on the beach with them watching some surfers, and Grandfather had a coffin lid surfboard… Also there was 60’s Munsters coloring book with Grandpa and Herman on skateboards.. but it was a painting, not a photo.. Don’t forget that Butch was on the mid ’70’s Psychedelic Show LIDSVILLE… where everyone was a giant hat.. From the Makers of H R PUFNSTUF, LAND OF THE LOST, SIGMUND AND THE SEA MONSTER (and there were many episodes where the blonde kid was walking around with Skateboard in hand!)
