1. Morticia was the shit!

16. I wanted to be her when I was like 12ish!

:hide: She was SOOOOOOO freakin' cool!!!

[Deja Q]

2. I wish I could remember the episode...

Morticia was making some food and two "normal" people visit (trying to buy the house or were government or something) and ask what it is. She says something immensely funny about what it contained.

I gotta rent the disc sets some time - or buy them when the final volume comes out.

3. Carolyn or Yvonne?

Tough choice.

6. both dead sexy...

18. I see what you did there...

I can still masturbate to them though, right? It would seem to be in the spirit of things.

4. The Munsters all thought they were perfectly normal...

and couldn't understand why people were afraid of them.
I loved them.

7. Fred Gwynn was a laugh riot.

5. I was Morticia for Halloween for 4th and 5th grade

I had very long hair that was worn in braids on a daily basis, but was allowed to wear it down with a long black dress for halloween. Being kind of a bitty little girl, I could crouch down and also do Cousin It! :hi:

9. comparing the munsters to the addams family is like

comparing cheese in a can to aged cheddar

[Whoa_Nelly]

10. 'Tish! You're speaking French!

[Orsino]

11. Can we agree that the Munsters had the coolest theme song...

...and the baddest, pimpin'est rides on TV?

[Deja Q]

13. ...and the baddest, pimpin'est rides on TV? Dude, that's

Except I mean the 1982 TV show. Not the 2008 movie remake?! :eyes:

14. man, would I have loved to drive that hot rod of the Munsters....

[hippiechick]

17. aw hell yeah!

I LOVED that tune ... not the hokey one, but the other hippie beatnik version.


:yourock:

12. no contest: Addams Family...

[nuxvomica]

15. I remember an article at the time declaring AF the healthiest...

family on television. The kids respected the parents, the parents nurtured the kids, Gomez and Morticia were not afraid to display affection for each other and they didn't spend each episode scheming against each other. Compared to them, all the other sitcom families were dysfunctional.

[Lithos]

19. Yes

And they all accepted people for who they were, not what they looked like.

L-

20. what I think is wierd-

Both of the shows were on from September 1964 to September 1966.
Maybe they were just competing with each other but they have the big-scary-family-in-big-scary-house thing in common and no one's done it again I don't think.

21. Morticia was my role model.

And I became a Lutheran when I was 24 because the pastor's voice sounded like John Astin. My husband golfed on Sundays, I was bored, so I visited a church one week and thought, wow, the pastor sounds like Gomez Addams. This is cool.
