Which do you prefer: The Addams Family or The Munsters, and WHY?

[Bonniegirl]

I'm a long time fan of the Munsters AND a new fan of the Addams family ! I literally have only started watching it within about a month or so! Was so happy to be able to see the marathon today!!!

I can honestly say I really love this show and I still love the Munsters too!

I will put it this way , I know I'm not original cause other posters have said the same thing pretty much!

Munsters is really wholesome, adorable, corny humor which I love and I can see why I preferred this one as a kid !

Addams family is more off the wall, way more adult humor! And they had more characters !

I STILL can't say which I like better? Let's say Munsters are my old loyal friends, and The Addam's are like my new exciting friends !! Love them both just sort of differently!

Yeah That is true ! Grampa /Al Lewis) ROCKED!!! So did Herman ! They made the show for me!!!

But than Lurch was AWESOME !!! And Gomez too!!! My two favorite Addams characters !

Lily vs. Morticia? I can't really say either ? I like them both!

So that leaves just Eddie and Marilyn vs. Pugsley, Wednesday, Grandma & Uncle Fester (also Cousin It and thing) ! So there is where the edge kind of goes to the Addam's ! They had SEVERAL really good supporting stars which made it really diverse and cool! !! And the Munsters (even though they were a strange family) the feel was more of another wholesome family sitcom!
