    Munsters or Adams Family?

    I like both but I always thought it would be cool to have Grandpa as a grandpa and Spot as a pet...cousin Maralyn was pretty sweet too. Then again "It" was pretty cool and so was Uncle Fester. I guess I'll pick Munsters by narrow margin.

    Munsters for me

    Addams family is ok, but when you get down to the nuts and bolts --- they're just rich nutty people.

    Munsters are working class slob monsters

    How can anyone not love that ?

    Munsters win by a mile

        Not really a fan of either show , but if I had to choose i'd firmly be in the Munsters camp....great make up and characters that are reminiscent of the universal classics...

          I like the Addams.
          The music was really cool...not just the Theme tune.
          And Morticia was lovely...very lovely.

                  I like both, but I'll say Munsters too. Like Mike said, they were working class monsters, and that's a more intriguing concept than a family of ghouish but mostly normal people. Lurch, Thing and Cousin It certainly weren't normal, but Gomez, Mortica and the kids were at least human.

                  Plus the Munsters had the makeup, cars, groovy theme song, and just zanier type of comedy. Addams were more subtle. And I like my comedies more whacky.

                    Munsters for me ! Like everyone said they were just your average working class suburban undead, reanimated family.
                    Lo there do I see my Father.
                    Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
                    Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
                    Lo they do call me.
                    They bid me take my place among them.

                            ...but I loved Morticia (Carolyn Jones)



                            She was so...

                              I gotta go with the Addams Family. I love the character designs, the Gorey source material, the style and wit.

                              I say that today. As a kid it was Munsters all the way, everyday.
