    Default The Addams Family v The Munsters

    With plans to reboot The Munsters, which was the better spoof of horror movies/family comedies, The Addams Family or The Munsters

    The Munsters was fun. The Addams Family was more clever.
    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    The Addams Family easily for me. I watched it more so my opinion is not totally uncolored by that, but still, I saw enough of The Munsters to know I preferred the characters and style of The Addams Family.

    J.Astin, C. Jones, J.Coogan and the rest were great fun. Hilarious clever writing.
    Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft

    Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

    I liked both, but the Addams Family seemed more subtle in its humor. The characters weren't just caricatures of Universal horror movie tropes.... thanks mostly to Charles Addams and his cartoons. Also, I really liked the house.

    I did enjoy the Addams Family movies, but I have a hard time seeing a TV reboot of either series doing anything other than sucking. We've just lost the ability to make shows like that.

    It's a draw?
    The Munsters spoofed horror movies better (as in the Addams Family barely did that at all) but the Addams Family is a much, much better comedy.

    Addams Family. Wednesday Addams is one of my favorites.

    The Addams family is easier to do. They have tried several times with the Munsters. It is impossible to replicate the magic of the Original.

    That sounds about right.
