when I was a kid and we had only a few tv channels one of them seemed to show Munster, Go Home and the previously mentioned Thing With Two Heads on Saturday afternoons with disturbing regularity.

Looking at the imdb trivia for Munster, Go Home, and learned that it's box office failure caused Paramount to cancel a planned Get Smart feature film, the script of which was retooled into a three-part episode.

Going back briefly to the film/sitcom discussion upthread, I knew there was something big we'd missed, and while reading something else I realized what it was.
There were 2-TWO!-McHale's Navy feature films made during the series' run.
