Addams Family versus the Munsters!

[Haunted hearse]

The votes are currently tied at.....13-13!.......Mockingbird Lane?

maybe that should be a new poll.  Which reboot was better; "New Addams family", or "Munsters Today"?  Or which made for TV reunion sucked more; "Halloween with the Addams Family", or "The Munsters Revenge"? (For the record, I liked "Here Come the Munsters".)

  Batman itself only lasted 2 seasons. I think kids back then were a little more adventurous and moved on a little quicker than later, more complacent generations (face it, Justin Bieber would have been a one hit wonder back then like all the other Tiger Beat fodder). As for shows calling it quits early, isn't that better than becoming a tired self-parody? One of my favorite shows was "The Outer Limits", and that only lasted a season and a half.

With you completely.............especially on the "Outer Limits"! Pure genius!

BTW, adore them both, but just the slight edge to The Munsters.

Adams Family always had that eccentric millionaire vibe; lighting cigars with 100 bills, making money with deals on the phone, etc. Munsters always seemed like working class stiffs, more relatable to my family. In fact, we started calling ourselves the Munsters, and still do to this day

So the Munsters have come back from an early deficit and have now taken the lead! Here to throw kerosene on the embers is a dissenting opinion I found on the net:

Having described the genius of the Addams family, I must now turn my attention to the unworthy competition. The Munsters is a pathetic derivative of the vastly superior Addams Family, relying on low-brow humor for cheap laughs. Even their name betrays their lack of innovation. The Monsters - o + u = The Munsters. Get it? Duh. Just look at this set of rejects:

Don't need some snobbish, elite critique, don't need another useless, annoying poll...I stay with the Munsters but still enjoy the Addams Family.

[Hepcat]

Huh? Does this fit your definition of a "useless, annoying poll"?

[Mord]

I said "another useless, annoying poll", meaning one is enough. We have our results, for what it's worth. No offense intended, brother. I completely respect what you're doing.

Good grief........that article was pure fertilizer.

[Hepcat]

Nitrogen fertilizer with gasoline to be precise. Positively incendiary! That's why I thought it was such a good item for discussion.

[aura of foreboding]

Ehh...  Not really.  It lacked any merit, and the thing that he claims to be a schoolyard rhyme only hurts the case for the Addams family.

I also remember that in the 1960's Mad magazine had both shows as representative of the garbage found on Television.  Of course they also hated "Hogan's Heroes", and I'm also a big fan of that show. Both shows have their fans, and I love both, just a slight preferance for the Addams Family.

So, is it Hogan's Hero's or McHale's Navy?  Just kidding, please don't start another one of these. I hate defending one show against the other when I like them both

Both of those were great shows.  Tim Conway Jr. has said that naval enlistment shot way up because of McHales Navy.

Yeah, low brow. Me the Three Stooges and the Munsters all in the same boat, I don't care. I like it
