Struck by Lightning

1979 · 1 season

A gentle, silly sitcom where a grumpy monster and a nervous teacher trade mild threats and jokes in a creaky old inn.

Overview: Struck by Lightning is a 1979 American television sitcom about Frankenstein's monster, which aired on CBS. Like Working Stiffs, another 1979 CBS sitcom, this show was canceled after only three episodes were aired in the United States, although all completed episodes did end up being shown in England on ITV in 1980.
