holygrailvideogames.com Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Al (Grandpa) Lewis from the Munsters has died. He is featured in the Atari 7800 game Midnight Mutants. Usually I post deaths in Current Events but he has ties to the Atari 7800. Rest In Peace. http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/04/l...t.ap/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8th lutz Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I don't know if he was paid by atari. He was well known by parents generation on tv. He was one of the few actors that I think didn't mind being rembered as a Tv Character. He was not like a good amount acters from the 60's that were remembered for one role and didn't accept that fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 He was not only in the Munsters, he was also in the show Car 54, Where Are You? He's been in a few things, but it's always the Munsters that he's remembered for. Bye, Grampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Mr. Lewis lived a good, long life, and even if he didn't get the respect most actors these days do, he was still a great actor for his time, and will greatly be missed.

jaybird3rd Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Didn't he run for the Seante a few years ago under the Green Party?1012947[/snapback] Governor of NY, actually, back in 1998. I remember hearing a little bit about it when it happened, but until I read his bio, I had no idea he also had a Ph.D. in child psychology. He was an interesting actor who created a unique and memorable TV persona. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSprinter Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Yeah, and to think yesterday morning I was watching an episode of "The Munsters" on TVLand (episode where Herman bets his car against a drag racer's and loses). He really was a great actor and one I remember well. Not only am I gonna miss the guy, but I will try and find both a loose and a boxed copy of Midnight Mutants to purchase in his memory.

JagFan422 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) at least he won't be remembered "in the mainstream" for this shitty game. I have a loose cart and wish i had the manual because i can't do jack shit on this game. I for one thought Grandpa was at his best in Gremlins 2, the movie. We'll miss you Grandpa.

bcprs1 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I heard about it on Howard Stern this morning. They plays some clips of him that were pretty funny. The guy had a great sense of humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamezmaster Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Too bad and so sad. The world is a less brighter place with him gone. That just leaves Marylin and Eddie now, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
