We were having lunch at a restaurant in Berkeley with a spectacular view of the San Francisco Bay and a couple tables away from us was Grandpa Munster having lunch with his real grandkids one Sunday afternoon and some people said hi Al  and he just smiled & waved and said "Happy Happy"

The Munsters. The Addams Family was less on.

Addams Family are a far and pale second to Fred Gwynn, Yvonne DeCarlo, Al Lewis, Butch Patrick (later to go on to Sid and Marty Crofft's "Lidsville" fame)
Check out Fred Gwynn's latter years career..... artist, stage actor, and the cheesy "My Cousin Vinny" judge actor.......
Chcck out Yvonne DeCarlo's long acting career that started in the late 1940's..................
  Check out "Grampa" Al Lewis's career............................

Like 'em both, but I had to go with the Munsters. For one, the Munsters had a much better theme song, plus the Addams Family never had one of these:

"Addams Family," hands down, no question.  "The Munsters" was a cheap knock-off.


Wendsday Adams could kick Eddie Munster's butt!  (With one hand tied behind her back) :) :) :)

Amen!

Furthermore, I love the original one-panel Charles Addams cartoons, which appeared in the New Yorker magazine circa 1930s--1950s.  The film "The Addams Family" (1991) was even better than the TV series because Sonnenfeld et al. were trying to adhere more closely to the darker-themed Addams cartoons than the light comedy of the '60s TV show. 

Addams the cartoonist was a genius for more than his "Addams Family."  I've heard psychometricians used this cartoon in their tests.  If the patient could understand why the cartoon is funny, it was a sign of mental health.  This might be apocryphal, however.

The origonal cartoons done by Charles Addams were pure art.  There is a biography on him out that I have to read. :)

Pairs of skiers proficient enough to run the slope on one ski each often recreated Addams' cartoon, most likely causing injuries to other skiers who crashed while studying the tracks!

Yes.  Interesting thing.  All the parental figures of The Munsters are now deceased.  I never imagined that would happen.
