Gomez and Morticia are total couple AND parent goals. Not only do they have a loving, supportive marriage, but they encourage their children to embrace their weirdness.

Minty should've dressed as Fester Addams.

One of the greatest original feel-good family tv shows... ever.

They were actually the most well adjusted couple on TV, who visibly loved each item deeply.

I've seen many researchers say that the Addams Family and the Munsters  actually had the best family interactions of any sitcom of the period. They were healthy, non toxic and always empathetic and honest. Shame all that got lost with people focusing only on the macabre aspects of the shows.

First thing is first Minty. That's a DOPE Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hoodie

I love John Astin so much.  Not only did he give us such an iconic character but he helped raise Sean Astin to be the gentle, kind man we know and love.

Another fun tidbit, Morticia's mother was played by Margaret Hamilton, who was none other than the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz.

The boiling oil gag was depicted in the 1991 film.

Thanks, minty. On Wednesday's name: it's from an old rhyme about the day you're born on, "Mondays child is fair of face, Tuesdays child is full of grace, Wednesdays child is full of woe, Thursdays child has far to go..."❤

I’m currently watching all of the Munsters in order. Crazy how iconic these shows were considering their very brief runs

A Crossover with the Munsters and the Addams family would’ve been awesome back in the day

John Astin said that he discovered that "wild eyed" look for Gomez when he first moved to New York. He lived in a dangerous neighborhood and not having a car, had to ride the subway or walk everywhere. He learned that if he looked crazy, people would leave him alone. So whenever he was on foot in the neighborhood, he'd adopt those wild eyes and mutter to himself. He never got mugged or harassed.

I'm told enough to remember the show when it was on. Both my parents would have been kids. I always liked the Munsters too, but they had a REASON for being ghoulish. They were just monsters. The Addams were just regular people who were also ghoulish. That spoke to my little, gothic heart as an adolescent. I was 8, the same age my Dad was, when the movies came out. I was Wednesday one year for Halloween. My mother still wonders why I "turned out" the way I did. Oh, I duno, Mom. Maybe because you were addicted to horror movies and I pretty much kept The Crow on repeat. I have sense made the typical evolution from goth to modern vintage lol. I still know how to decorate with safety pins though lol.

The real difference between The Munsters and The Addams Family is that the Munsters are people that look like monsters and the Addams Family are monsters that look like people.

They're both so beloved that on programming blocked in syndication they were often shown back-to-back.

Our family dressed up as the Adams family for Halloween years ago.  We had a speaker in my suit jacket playing the theme and we still use the BW pics we took as decorations every Halloween.  My son had a cigar and my daughter had a rubber hand for Thing. We looked great

Gómez & Morticia have to be the greatest on screen couple of all time. I love their interactions and I like to emulate them with my wife as we go about our lives. They’re the perfect couple.

I was born in 64...loved both.

By the time Addams family and Munsters were going off the air in 1966, dark shadows TV series was starting on ABC.

This is a bit of the childhood in the 90s, the movie, the cartoon.
Recently i watched the Wednesday show, it's great!
