Both shows were very entertaining and funny- far outshining the vast majority of wasted airspace that has come to represent modern day prime time television. While I do also lean towards the Addams Family just because of the number of oddball characters that mixed so well together, that is not an insult to the Munsters in any shape or form.

Any time I am spinning the remote up and down the dial frantically trying to find something remotely worth watching, I will gladly watch a syndicated episode of either of these true classics. Whatever happened to the days of such quality television?

Very good read and I’m going to be the odd one out here.

I love The Munsters so much that I wish that I had Herman as my dad haha!

Seriously, Herman makes me laugh and I have both seasons on DVD boxset. I just love how goofy Herman is and I have a soft spot for Grandpa.

I do like The Addams Family, but my heart is with The Munsters. I was so excited last year when I seen one of the original Munster cars in a museum.

Perhaps it’s because I’m British that I’m the only one who likes The Munsters?

I must say that I was more of an Adam family person. Munster always seems to depend on the stupidity of the characters for laughs, too much so. Of course they had Pat Priest for most of the shows so . . .

I have always been an Addams Family girl, I sooo wanted to be Morticia when I grew up! They were much more creepy and macabre and had that, black humor down where as The Munsters were just to goofy.

Exactly! I think The Addams Family was more intelligent in the way it dealt with situations and the like.

totally agree with you, the addams family were the cooler family, the wit and comedy were smart and entertaining and while the Munsters were fun, they were very cartoonish and played for the silly jokes while the addams family used intelligence for the laughs

hey, I just bought Season 1 of The Addams Family on DVD. I agree with you. the Munsters are great, but the Addams are just the better characters. What I really love about them is that they are sadistic, creepy and especially in the movies they cross more than once the line of being perverts, but they are still the nicest people you will probably ever meet! They treat their guests nice and spread nothing but love towards others. Yes, The Musters are nice too, but in fact they are typical sitcom characters with monster make up.
