Question The Addams Family vs. The Munsters

Which do you like better? I personally like the Munsters better, but I prefer the Addams Family theme song. What about you?

Who's to think about?
The brighter I shine, the darker my shadows.
And they pull me behind, as I let off the pedal.
Why should I divide what feels so right?
Is this where I want to lay?

Anyone who says Addams Family has to be kidding me... even though they had a KICK ASS movie.

The Munsters. They were scarier and creepier looking. Also, great make-up and the interior of the house. Compare Herman with Gomez. Herman, of course, looked frightening (of course, he was a Frankenstein monster), but what was scary about Gomez?
Toss in a genuine vampire (Grandpa) and the Munsters certainly win!

Nobody in the Addams Family seemed creepy, kooky, mysterious, or spooky.

Hmmm... just a quick look...

Creepy: Lurch, Morticia, Wednesday, Thing
Kooky: Gomez, Fester
Mysterious: Morticia, Lurch, Thing
Spooky: Lurch, Fester, Morticia

The only ones who didn't really fit any of those adjectives: Pugsley, Grandmama

I like both shows, both families. But back when they were being first-run (yes, I am that old), I much preferred the Addams Family.

The Munsters were a family of ghouls who didn't seem to realize that they were the ones who were different. They were very much naive. They really were just an ordinary family who happened to look like horror flick characters.

The Addams Family, on the other hand, were very aware that they were different, and revelled in that difference. The were quite elitist, as well. But the subtle humor of the show was delicious.

The Addams Family. But that's probably because I've seen The Munsters to death.

There are two types of people in this world.... those who like "The Munsters" and those who like "The Addams Family"


And those who like "The Addams Family" -- dont matter, in my book.

Hmm... I could have sworn that I said that I liked both.

I'd venture to say that there are four basic "types":
1- Those who like The Munsters.
2- Those who like The Addams Family.
3- Those who like both.
4- Those who like neither.

And since I feel that we all matter, you will forgive me if I choose to not read your book.

The Addam's Family had a grandma
