I didn't mind the Addams Family but, being a Universal Monsters fan growing up, I liked the fact that the Munsters actually had the Frankenstein Monster as the head of the household, whereas the Addams Family often came across as just very weird humans.

They were created of course by Charles Adams and started off, I believe as a newspaper strip...





... whereas The Munsters were cooked up by Universal as a way of exploiting their Monster franchise.

I believe both shows ran at roughly the same time and got cancelled at roughly the same time too.
