Grandpa: [Herman is talking to Dr. Dudley who has misplaced his glaces and is unaware of Grandpa's presence] Eh, doctor, could you answer a question?
Dr. Edward Dudley: Well how do you like that, when I don't have my glasses on I hear double.
Herman Munster: Eh, no, no, this is Grandpa.
Dr. Edward Dudley: [slowly turns his head and tries to size up grandpa with his poor eyesight] Oh. Looks rather like a tall penguin, doesn't he?

The Debut Of "Dr. Dudley" and The Munster Hearse-Car
Who remembers Paul Lynde as "Dr. Dudley?" Lynde was excellent in this role and always made me laugh out loud. His IMDb biography says he was only in three episodes. I would have guessed more. In this episode, the doctor's son is going to be visiting for a week in the Munster home. However, Grandpa and Herman think the "the arrival of a playmate for Eddie" means Lily is having a baby. (They overheard this in a conversation between Lily and Marilyn and misinterpreted.)
Lily won't say anything so Herman and Grandpa visit Dr. Dudley at four in the morning. Dudley is like Mr. Magoo without his glasses. The conversation he has with his guests at that hour is laugh-out-loud funny. Anyway, this "screwball" charade is played out for almost the entire show. The look on Herman's face when he sees the toy Frankenstein monster, who he thinks is his son, is priceless! It's a classic moment in this series.
Also fun to see and hear in this episode was how the Munsters acquired their famous car. Sid Melton has been a familiar face from the '50s until the late '90s, and is sill alive. He played "Diamond Jim," the used car salesman.
