The Addams Family or The Munsters

Which was your favorite?​

The Addams Family, but I like both. They're really not all that similar other than the spooky elements. The Addams Family is much more subtle and slightly subversive compared to the Munsters.

Which was your favorite?

I watched both.

I couldn't pick one over the other. I liked the actors Herman (Fred Gwynne) and Morticia (Carolyn Jones) the most.

 

[NYCgrrl]

Addams Family by far.
Liked the cartoon in the New Yorker as well. The satire is strongest in the printed panels but the show still retained a whiff of it.

The Munsters!

 

[tvguy]

Liked both, with the edge going to the Munsters.

 

[dish rag]

Didn’t like either.

Munsters

 

[wilbret]

Munsters, all day, all night.

I like both, but I can watch the Munsters over and over.... and do!

 

[JaxDad]

I liked them both, but The Addams Family a bit more. I met the woman who was the original inspiration for Morticia, Barbara Jean Day, many years ago while working as a courier in Key West.

ETA: All the cars were cool too!

One thing about the Munsters, to quote Apu from the Simpsons: "If your mother was a vampire and your father was a Frankenstein how come you are a werewolf?"

I remember watching reruns of both of them. Liked them both.

Adams Family, Morticia baby

 

[John VN]

Adams Family had more edge.

Thing, Cousin Itt, Lurch, Grandmama, Uncle Fester, Wednesday, Pugsley, Gomez, Morticia --- uncommon named characters each having a unique and weirdly appealing persona. Mais oui !

p.s. ---------------------------- calm down low-key, that ^^^^^ was me, not Morticia

 

[PollyannaMom]

Both were cool, but I think I watched the Munsters more.

(The Adams Family song is better, though.)
