The Munsters Vs The Addams Family

[Gasport]

For two shows that were supposed to be competing against each other as similar fare at the time, I find it tough to choose which one i like more...they were SO different!  If i 'm in the mood for subversively clever, sexually deviant humor, It's the Addams Family hands down...if i'm looking to satisfy my child like love of all things Universal, it's gotta be the Munsters. I'm just happy i have the two to choose between to quench whatever my thirst may be at any given moment.

As a kid, the Munsters.  Later, it became the Addams Family.  I always dug Lily, though---not that Morticia was hard on the eyes. 

One of my favorite episodes was when Fester got a job as an insurance salesman and sold Gomez the $1 Million Dollar Life Insurance Policy (which was a HUGE risk, as Gomez was in the middle of an experiment... he was sky diving with a smaller chute each jump because he hoped he eventually wouldn't need a chute at all)...

I use this analogy in my discussions about 'tipping points' at work all the time.

Again, I dig them both, but this is the sort of humor only The Addams Family delivered!

I have to go with the MUNSTERS........Herman, Lily, Grandpa, Eddie, Spot, Igor..and of course Marilyn.
Not to take away from the Addam's Family. The Munsters were just funnier, and the house was awesome!!!!
Grandpa's Lab, and his Dragula. The Munster coach(koach)...... 1313 Mockingbird lane is such a memorable address besides
1164 Morning Glory Circle.

The Addams Family - for me.  My relatives were more Munsters, but I always thought the Addams family were much more interesting people to know.  I even enjoyed the more recent re-hash of the Addams Family, once I got used to them in color.

Honestly, for as much as I have always loved The Munsters, the older I get, the harder it is to watch!

I loved both, but I've always given the Munsters a bit higher rating because they're more monster-like, whereas the Addams Family are more, well...just creepy. I'd have killed for a team-up between them, like the Green Hornet/Batman team-up. Wow!

A team-up, that's a great idea!

Really? I'm the exact opposite. The older I get, the easier it is for me to sit back and enjoy the show.
