December 31, 20205 yr comment_846872 In case anyone else's mind recently went from Gilligan's Island's sexuality to The Addams Family, you may enjoy the below historical ping-pong of the two monster families.  I thought one was a copycat of the other, but it's more complicated. https://decider.com/2019/10/14/addams-family-vs-the-munsters-which-came-first/  Report
December 31, 20205 yr comment_846881 That's an easy one for me, clearly The Munsters. The Addams weren't even aired here. Report
January 2, 20215 yr comment_847060 Both shows have a special place in my heart! I watched the Addams in first run with my family but The Munsters were considered too silly to be a family institution I'm guessing. I rewatched every episode at least once during a phase when my buddies and I would waste away the afternoon smoking pot and avoiding anything that remotely resembled responsibility! Gilligan and Hogan's Heros were up there too. Report
January 2, 20215 yr comment_847076 I watched Munsters more as a kid. Â I appreciate Addams way more as an adult. Report

January 2, 20215 yr comment_847082 About equal viewing for me, liked them both. But I LOVED Carolyn Jones....! Report
January 5, 20215 yr comment_847337 I recognize many of your memories are from the shows, which were well into syndication by the time i got to them, but for me the Addams Family was the 1991 movie. While I recognize this may be seen as heresy, can you fault me for preferring Anjelica Huston?

As an older male I can appreciate her acting and she played the role VERY well. As a younger male (at the time) I still loved Carolyn Jones 😊 (and I thought she played the role well, too) Report
January 5, 20215 yr comment_847341 If it's younger males we're advocating for, can I recommend Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas' halloween costumes as a point in the Addams Family's favor? Edited January 5, 20215 yr by Sherwood Report
