Damn...this is a question over which I myself have long wondered and struggled...usually I end up picking The Munsters though, since they are much cheesier. Which is a bonus.

Dragons under the staircase tend to beat out crewmen sticking their hands through a box most days of the week.

The Addams family for me, altogether darker and cleverer than the Munsters, although Fred Gwynne (Herman Munster) was an excellent comic actor who made The Munsters very watchable.

When I read this post all I could think of was "they're altogether ooky, The Addams Family".

The Munsters, due to my love for Universal Monster classics... The Addams were good, though.
I didn't like the Addams movie...

I grew up with both, Munsters were more campy. I liked Addams more stylistically. Don't ask why.

The Addams Family.
I won't even bother to give more points to my argumentation.

There's no need to argue something as important as the preference for one of these two defunct series...

Gotta go with the Munsters because I must've been watching something else when the Addams Family was on. I can picture Herman groovin' on "Giant Hogweed" for some reason.

Angelica Houston is a good actress, but she just did not have the sex appeal which is necessary to play Morticia

I lean towards the Adams Family, but I do like the Munsters as well.
It's been ages since I last saw either of them.

Munsters for me, the plot was better, just monsters trying to live a regular life. While the Addams were creepy weird people with a lot of issues in their heads. But Morticia was a lot more sexy than Lilly. No matter, at the end, Munsters for me, easily...

The Munsters as a family unit were a sham; either Herman is covering up his deep inner depression and anger over his wife's obvious adultery or he was given a poor quality brain and Lily is taking complete advantage of that by making him pay for some punk Werewolf's b*****d son.

I never liked The Munsters and I've always loved The Addams Family so that's my vote. Gomez FTW
