Addams Family! It was the Rocky and Bullwinkle of sitcoms. Munsters was just more of the same "Lucy Moments" inanity.

For me there never was a question -- then or now -- The Addams Family!

I may have seen one or two Munsters shows in my life and disliked the experience. I did get the Addams Family DVD set.

Need I say it? The Dick Van Dyke Show and Andy Griffith. Since these were in black and white, I'm waiting for Sony to release the full set of these in epub complete with opening pratfall and whistled theme song for my eink reader.

Let's face it, the Addams family was sexy! Morticia was a goddess that her husband would do anything for and adored. Wednesday was a girl who knew she was smarter than the other kids and loved the fact that she and her family were considered odd. The rest of the family had their quirks but were all brilliant in their own right, well.... except for Lurch, but his quirk was that he wasn't supposed to be. Plus, they had a lion they called Kitty Kat and I always wanted a lion with a big mane when I was a kid.

The one endearing quality The Munsters had was Fred Gwynne... he was a perfect Herman Munster! The rest of the cast was pretty much just being themselves, with makeup on.

But The Addams Family... all of 'em were quirky and unique! Excuse me... creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky, altogether ooky! And you saw more of their weird family, making it even more interesting.

Whenever I have too much to drink, the next morning I wake up with "Lurch voice."

"Uuuhhhhhhh..."

Addams Family, no doubt about it.

"I just love it when you speak French!"



Then later when I heard that Patty Duke (AKA Patty Lane and Cathy Lane) had married John Astin I just couldn't believe it.

I feel exactly the same!! In my younger days, I preferred the Munsters because of the recording quality. But, truly, as I matured, I realized that Addams family is the pinnacle of "Horror sitcom" as you so aptly named it.

I voted for Gilligan though. I couldn't help it. I opened the thread thinking "Yeah, Addams family all the way, dude!" and then you threw Gilligan at me. I had a little crush on Gilligan when I was young....

My Dear Grace, you almost inspire me to start a "Ginger vs MaryAnne" poll. But that has been so overdone.

Perhaps you could start a "Gilligan vs Skipper vs Professor vs Mr Howell" poll.

I would be very interested in the results.

Donn

P.S. I am very much in the MaryAnne camp.

Thank you for letting me live on the coattails of your brilliance! I have started a "who ya wanna get hot and heavy with on the isle?" poll. I didn't want to leave anyone out. I wonder if anyone will vote for the Skipper.... he had such a temper! but he did so love his "little buddy...."
