Here's something that I've always wanted to know, what attracts you most to The Munsters. (To all you little onlookers who look but don't post, please participate in the poll. Thank you.)

I personally love both theme songs. We got a taste of both worlds. The Season 1 theme presented the Munsters as that off-beat scary family. The Season 2 theme presented the Munsters as a wild family, who loves to party.

I love the Munsters of course for the GREAT house but also for the humor. I think they are like alot of familys. They bicker back and forth but are there for each other when needed. It is a GREAT show and I hope people will bring the new generation up watching it also.

I also love the show for it's classic 60's era TV comedy. You just can't find that anymore with todays television.

I hardly paid attention to it when I was growing up.
But here are the reasons I started re-watching it. In order:

The really cool theme caught my attention (the non guitar one).

Then I started looking at all the things in the house and house it's self.
It occurred to me that I might just fit in well there since I have X-ray lamps and other medical art here at home I make.
My lamps would look nice there next to Grandpa's electric chair

. We won't discuss the network of cobwebs that have taken over my ceilings

.

I REALLY love the idea that they're such an unusual family (although, who's to say what "normal" or "usual" is). Again, I just might fit in well there

.And, they seem to be loving. Even if Lily is a wee bit domineering.

The humor, of course.

And then I remebered just how WONDERFUL Fred Gwynne was/is!
Did I mention just how WONDERFUL Fred Gwynne was/is?

Good question, #1. I was thinking about asking it.
Stop taking my thoughts!

Where's the all the above choice?

I think for me it started with the make-up, because I was really into the Universal monsters. Then the cars caught my attention.
