blessingx Posted December 31, 2020 Report 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
Torpedo Posted December 31, 2020 Report Posted December 31, 2020 That's an easy one for me, clearly The Munsters. The Addams weren't even aired here. 3
ironbut Posted January 2, 2021 Report Posted January 2, 2021 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.
grawk Posted January 2, 2021 Report Posted January 2, 2021 I watched Munsters more as a kid. I appreciate Addams way more as an adult.

skullguise Posted January 2, 2021 Report Posted January 2, 2021 About equal viewing for me, liked them both. But I LOVED Carolyn Jones....!
Sherwood Posted January 5, 2021 Report Posted January 5, 2021 (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, 2021 by Sherwood 1

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)
Sherwood Posted January 5, 2021 Report Posted January 5, 2021 (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, 2021 by Sherwood 5
