Introduction
The first version of the family appear in the episode "Fred and Barney Meet the Frankenstones" of The New Fred and Barney Show. They feature as the managers of a condorstonium development that the boys consider moving their families into. This Frankenstone family consists of:
- Frank Frankenstone, the Frankenstein-style father
- Hidea Frankenstone, his wife
- Atrocia Frankenstone, their giggly teen daughter
- "Little Freaky" Frankenstone, chip-off-the-ole-block.
Frank's voice is patterned after Boris Karloff by voice actor John Stephenson, and Hidea has a pseudo-Transylvanian accent.

Famous quotes containing the word introduction:
“Such is oftenest the young man’s introduction to the forest, and the most original part of himself. He goes thither at first as a hunter and fisher, until at last, if he has the seeds of a better life in him, he distinguishes his proper objects, as a poet or naturalist it may be, and leaves the gun and fish-pole behind. The mass of men are still and always young in this respect.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For better or worse, stepparenting is self-conscious parenting. You’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.”
—Anonymous Parent. Making It as a Stepparent, by Claire Berman, introduction (1980, repr. 1986)
“Do you suppose I could buy back my introduction to you?”
