#1, I always had the hots for Morticia! |

It's all about The Munsters! Addams family was ok, at best, IMO

3! Look at the Munsters as a bizarre family trying to act normal, and the Addams Family as a normal family acting bizarre. |
Oddball | 10 Jul 2012 9:24 a.m. PST |
Munster's theme song was better. Adams Family was good, but Munster's was a hip beat. For a show, I liked the Adam's family, although Herman did have a great ride. |

1 but also enjoyed 3. Too bad Marilyn was such a goodie-two shoes. |
Mserafin | 10 Jul 2012 9:25 a.m. PST |
Addam's Family TV show, or movies? |
21eRegt | 10 Jul 2012 9:26 a.m. PST |
Addam's Family all the way. |

Ironically the Munsters was just on the Biography Channel this morning. I would have to go with the Munsters. I always had the hots for Yvonne DeCarlo, Pat Priest wasn't bad either. |

Munsters, when I was younger Adams Family would not have even been in the running but now it is a close call. I guess voting for 1313 Mockingbird lane is too early? |

I am firmly planted in the Addams Family camp, though I did watch both as a kid (but only the Addams Family as an adult). I loved everything about that show, from the weird nick knacks in their house, to Lurch, to the kooky family and the deranged musings of Gomez. The cast was great, the writing (usually) top notch, and the jokes were all delightfully macabre. What a show! |
panzerCDR | 10 Jul 2012 9:46 a.m. PST |
1 obviously. What other show had great 20mm terrain and exploding trains? |

Adams Family to the hilt. Despite all the talent in "Munsters," it was lame, lame, and usually lame. The original Charles Adams cartoons were a much better source of material than the standard contrived sit-com stuff of "Munsters," but there were, for me, two HIGHLY persuasive reasons for me loving Adams Family in my early teens: 1) Carolyn 2) Jones I rest my case!

3) John Astin – I don't believe I've ever seen an actor having a better time in a role than him playing Gomez. Of course, if I was playing opposite Carolyn Jones, I'm sure I'd be having the time of my life as well! |
etotheipi | 10 Jul 2012 10:10 a.m. PST |
1. Addams Family a. the cartoon was a riot b. the tv show – Carolyn Jones rwar c. the movie – Raul Julai – best actor ever; Christina Ricci awesome as Wednesday |
Tgerritsen | 10 Jul 2012 10:12 a.m. PST |
2- The daughter was very cute. |
John the Greater | 10 Jul 2012 10:16 a.m. PST |
Addams Family. If I need to explain, you can't understand. |
ming31 | 10 Jul 2012 10:16 a.m. PST |
3 like both for different reasons . Addams family were cooler . Munster hotrods and the Ugly cousin had its points |

Even as a kid I knew the Addams Family was better. |
McKinstry | 10 Jul 2012 10:24 a.m. PST |
Addams. The Addams were cool and crazy while the Munsters were just goofy. |

Addams family from the original cartoons by Chass Addams right the way through. x42 |
Robert V | 10 Jul 2012 11:27 a.m. PST |
Liked them both but Addams Family was the better show by far. |
Raynman | 10 Jul 2012 12:07 p.m. PST |
Addams Family, without a doubt! |

3. I've always enjoyed both the old TV shows. The casts were good. The sets were fun. What's not to like? |

Much as I like Fred Gwynn, I'll have to go with the Addams' |
Patrick R | 10 Jul 2012 12:36 p.m. PST |
Addams Family, though Munsters isn't far behind. |
bogdanwaz | 10 Jul 2012 12:36 p.m. PST |
Addams Family all the way. WarWizard, I've heard from a couple of people who saw the Broadway show said it was absolute crap and a huge waste of money. |
14Bore | 10 Jul 2012 12:51 p.m. PST |
I like both but 2 was my favorite as a kid |
Tom Reed | 10 Jul 2012 12:57 p.m. PST |
We all know that Herman Munster worked in a funeral parol, but what did Gomez Adams do for a living? He was always home. Were the Adams independently weathly? |
skippy0001 | 10 Jul 2012 1:33 p.m. PST |
1 show and movie Gomez was a financier and had pirates treasure under his house. Always had the hots for Morticia and Cleopatra(she fed her swedish meatballs) |
bracken | 10 Jul 2012 1:36 p.m. PST |
2 munsters! They where much much funnier |
Saber6 | 10 Jul 2012 1:53 p.m. PST |
Addams Family. I always felt that the Munsters was "forced strangness". With the Addams you could assume that they thought everyone was like them, and surprized when they found out differently. |
Patrick Sexton | 10 Jul 2012 2:11 p.m. PST |
Addams Family by big margin. |
Herkybird | 10 Jul 2012 2:19 p.m. PST |
1 – the Munsters were a poor echo of the outstanding Addams family! |
Beowulf | 10 Jul 2012 3:00 p.m. PST |
Addams family, hands down. |
richarDISNEY | 10 Jul 2012 3:28 p.m. PST |
At least the Musnters didn't have MC Hammer do their theme song

Space Monkey | 10 Jul 2012 4:17 p.m. PST |
I really can't decide
Munsters rides the whole hot rod/monster craze of the time. Addam's Family has a slightly more sophisticated humor and visual style to it
I say they make great bookends. |
Tuudawgs | 10 Jul 2012 5:01 p.m. PST |
Addam's Family all the way, they were crazy and ran with it. I could never relate to the Munsters attempt to be "normal". |
