Ep 11. Herman's Driving Test

Herman's Driving Test is the 11th episode of the second season of the popular 1960s television series, The Munsters. The show follows the lives of a family of monsters living in a spooky mansion at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, including head of the family, Frankenstein's monster Herman Munster, his vampire wife Lily, their son Eddie, and Grandpa, a mad scientist and vampire.

In this episode, Herman decides it's finally time for him to take his driving test. However, his family is less than thrilled at the prospect of Herman getting behind the wheel. They are all too familiar with Herman's clumsiness and lack of coordination, which often leads to disastrous accidents. Nevertheless, Herman is determined to prove himself and get his driver's license.

Herman enlists the help of his friend, Officer Joe Phillips, to teach him how to drive. Phillips is skeptical at first, but eventually agrees to help Herman out. However, things don't exactly go according to plan during Herman's lessons. Herman proves to be a terrible driver, causing chaos and destruction wherever he goes. His attempts at parallel parking end with him crashing into a fire hydrant and his attempt at a 3-point turn ends with him driving into a tree.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Munster family is getting ready for their annual Halloween party. Lily is busy preparing food, Eddie is putting the finishing touches on his costume, and Grandpa is brewing up some special potions for the guests. However, their preparations are constantly interrupted by Herman's driving lessons, which always seem to end in disaster.

As the day of the driving test approaches, Herman becomes more and more nervous. He is determined to get his driver's license, but he's also afraid that he'll mess up and embarrass himself. The rest of the family tries to reassure him, but they also secretly dread the idea of Herman being let loose on the streets.

On the day of the test, Herman shows up at the DMV with the rest of his family in tow. The other drivers waiting in line stare at him in shock and horror, but Herman remains determined. He takes his test with a stern-looking inspector, who appears less than impressed with Herman's driving skills.

To everyone's surprise, Herman actually passes his driving test. The Munster family jumps for joy and congratulates him on his achievement. However, their celebration is soon cut short when Herman accidentally drives into a tree while trying to leave the DMV parking lot. As the family looks on in horror, Herman emerges from the car unscathed, congratulating himself on his successful test.
