blessingx 5,609 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 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/ 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Torpedo 2,593 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 That's an easy one for me, clearly The Munsters. The Addams weren't even aired here. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ironbut 2,266 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grawk 8,050 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 I watched Munsters more as a kid. I appreciate Addams way more as an adult. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sherwood 1,414 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 (edited) 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? Edited January 5 by Sherwood 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sherwood 1,414 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 (edited) 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 by Sherwood 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
