Premise
[
edit
]
The Addamses
are a close-knit
extended family
with decidedly
macabre
interests and supernatural abilities. No explanation for their powers is explicitly given in the series.
The very wealthy, endlessly enthusiastic Gomez Addams (
John Astin
) is madly in love with his refined wife, Morticia (née Frump) (
Carolyn Jones
). Along with their daughter Wednesday (
Lisa Loring
), their son Pugsley (
Ken Weatherwax
), Uncle Fester (
Jackie Coogan
), and Grandmama (
Blossom Rock
), they reside at 0001 Cemetery Lane in an ornate, gloomy,
Second Empire
-style
mansion
, attended by their servants: Lurch (
Ted Cassidy
), the towering butler, and Thing (billed as "itself", but portrayed by Cassidy and occasionally by Jack Voglin), a disembodied hand that usually appears out of a small wooden box. Occasionally episodes would feature other relatives such as Cousin Itt (
Felix Silla
), Morticia's older sister Ophelia (also portrayed by Carolyn Jones), or Grandma Frump, Morticia's mother (
Margaret Hamilton
).
Uncle Fester (Jackie Coogan) and Lurch (Ted Cassidy)
Much of the humor derives from their culture clash with the rest of the world. They invariably treat normal visitors with great warmth and courtesy, even though their guests often have evil intentions. They are puzzled by the horrified reactions to their own good-natured and normal behavior, since the family is under the impression that their tastes are shared by most of society. Accordingly, they view "conventional" tastes with generally tolerant suspicion. For example, Fester once cites a neighboring family's meticulously maintained petunia patches as evidence that they are "nothing but riffraff". A recurring theme in the epilogue of many episodes was the Addamses getting an update on the most-recent visitor to their home, either via mail, something in the newspaper, or a phone call. Invariably, as a result of their visit to the Addamses, the visitor would be institutionalized, change professions, move out of the country, or suffer some other negative life-changing event. The Addamses would always misinterpret the update and see it as good news for their most-recent visitor.
The tone was set by series producer Nat Perrin who was a close friend of
Groucho Marx
and writer of several Marx Brothers films. Perrin created story ideas, directed one episode, and rewrote every script. As a result, Gomez, with his sardonic remarks, backwards logic, and ever-present cigar (pulled from his breast pocket already lit), is often compared
[

]
to Groucho Marx. The series often employed the same type of zany satire and screwball humor seen in the Marx Brothers films. It lampooned politics ("Gomez, The Politician" and "Gomez, The People's Choice"), the legal system ("The Addams Family in Court"), Beatlemania ("Lurch, The Teenage Idol"), and Hollywood ("My Fair Cousin Itt").

The Munsters Today
The Munsters
is an American
television sitcom
depicting the home life of a family of benign
monsters
. It stars
Fred Gwynne
as
Herman Munster
and
Yvonne De Carlo
as his wife,
Lily Munster
. The series was a satire of both traditional
monster movies
and the wholesome family fare of the era, and was produced by the creators of
Leave It to Beaver
.

It ran concurrently with the similarly macabre themed
The Addams Family
, though had higher figures in the
Nielsen ratings
.
The series originally aired on Thursday at 7:30pm on
CBS
from
September 24, 1964
, to
May 12, 1966
; 70 episodes were produced. It was broadcast weekly on
BBC1
in the UK. It was cancelled after ratings dropped to a low due to the premiere of
ABC
's
Batman
, which was in
color
.
[

Though ratings were low during its initial two-year run,
The Munsters
found a large audience in
syndication
. This popularity warranted a spin-off series, as well as several films, including one with a theatrical release.
[

On October 26, 2012, NBC aired a modern
reimagining
of
The Munsters
called
Mockingbird Lane
as a pilot. The series failed to be picked up by
NBC
despite success with Munster fans and good ratings.
A 90min documentary film titled
Our Munster Memories
was announced in May 2014 set to be directed and produced by award winning UK film maker
Frank McGowan
, a noted fan of
The Munsters
and in particular its '80s revival series
The Munsters Today

Main article:
List of The Munsters characters
The Munsters live at 1313 Mockingbird Lane in the city of Mockingbird Heights, a fictional suburb in California. The running gag of the series was the family, while decidedly odd, consider themselves fairly typical
working-class
people of the era. Herman, like many husbands of the 1960s, is the sole wage-earner in the family, though Lily and Grandpa make (short-lived) attempts to earn a little money from time to time. While Herman is the "head of household," Lily makes many decisions, too. According to the episode in which Lily and Herman Munster were both trying to surprise one another for their anniversary, they were married in the year 1865. Despite the novel approach of the family being (mostly) supernatural creatures, the show followed the typical family sitcom formula of the era  – the well-meaning father, the nurturing mother, the eccentric live-in relative, the naive teenager and the precocious kid.
There are some superficial similarities between
The Munsters
and
Addams Family
in that both were shows with a Gothic look that featured families of horror-movie characters incongruent with their mainstream suburban communities. However, the two shows were quite different in tone and characterization. Overall, the characters of
The Addams Family
were wealthy eccentrics who generally stayed at home, while the Munsters were a blue-collar and generally outgoing family of legendary monsters.
The costumes and appearances of the family members other than Marilyn were based on the
classic monsters of Universal Studios
films from the 1930s and 1940s. Universal produced
The Munsters
as well, and was thus able to use these copyrighted designs, including their iconic version of
Frankenstein's monster
for Herman.
[

]
Other studios were free to make films with the Frankenstein creature, for example, but could not use the costume and style of makeup originally created by
Jack Pierce
for the 1931
Universal Studios
film
Frankenstein
. The make-up for the show was created and applied to the actors by horror make-up legend
Bud Westmore
, who pioneered many make-up effects and designs for many of the Universal Monster movies.
