Struck by Lightning is a 1979 American television sitcom about Frankenstein's monster, which aired on CBS.
This show was canceled after only three episodes were aired in the United States, although all completed episodes did end up being shown in UK on ITV in 1980.
Ted Stein (Jeffrey Kramer) is a science teacher who inherits a spooky old New England inn inhabited by its hulking, good-naturedly homicidal caretaker Frank (Jack Elam). It turns out that Ted is the descendant of the original Dr. Frankenstein and Frank is the Monster who needs a special serum every 50 years to stay alive, and he wants Ted to recreate it for him ("If you don't, I'll die," he explains, "Let me put it another way, if you don't, you'll die"). Ted agrees to stay and continue his ancestor's experiments while keeping Frank's identity a secret.
Eleven episodes were made, but only the first three were aired in America.
Elam claimed in an interview in Variety that he accepted the role of Frank after being told by the producers that he would not have to wear monster make-up because his naturally gnarled and bulgy-eyed appearance was already perfect for the part.
Struck by Lightning is a 2012 coming-of-age comedy-drama film written by and starring Chris Colfer, also based on his novel, and directed by Brian Dannelly.

High school senior Carson Phillips (Chris Colfer) is randomly struck and killed by lightning and the rest of the movie is a flashback of his life. He desires to go to Northwestern University in order to one day become the youngest editor for The New Yorker, but so far is having limited success in making those dreams happen.
She had some strange ideas about living
Just wasn't part of the game
She had some loving she knew she couldn't part with
Boys would never be the same
My innocent lady, she had the guts
Put it all an me from the start
Kisses they burned like fire
Found an easy way to my heart
[Chorus]
Struck by Lightning
Love is alive, i feel it tonight
Struck by Lightning
Your magic touch makes me seem so
I told her ...
gimme a call, drop me a line
Gotta see you again
So day into night and night into day
A sad way thru my fall to train
My innocent lady, she had the guts
Put it all an me from the start
Kisses they burned like fire
Found an easy way to my heart
[Chorus]
Struck by Lightning
Love is alive, i feel it tonight
Struck by Lightning
Your magic touch makes me seem so
Struck by Lightning
Love is alive, i feel it tonight
