I wonder hwo the Addams family would work as guests in the Munster house or vice versa.
shareThe only ones I think that could pull this off is Herman and Lurch since Lurch looks like a Herman Munster reject.
"For your soul, I'll give you rock n' roll and that's all you'll ever need."
Gomez would smash up Herman's trains and Herman would have a fit.
Gomez doesn't do it be be malicious, he just figured that that is what everybody does to trains.
I never thought about it, but that would have been terrific if the Addams would have stayed at the Munsters house for the weekend or vice versa. Unfortunately, the two networks would never have agreed to it though. I think The Addams Family was on ABC and The Munsters were on CBS.
shareI could see Grandpa and Grandmama getting along and comparing spells. Eddie and Pugsley might be cool with each other with Wednesday trying to kill them both. I see Lily probably saying something in French and Gomez grabbing her arm and going into a kissing frenzy, much to Morticia's and Herman's jealousy. Oddly, I could see a little romance between Fester and Marilyn, much to everyone's surprise.
Yippee: "For king!"

I don't know if Uncle Fester would settle for Marilyn though. After all, (speaking in hushed tones) she was the ugly duckling of the family. But I do know one thing. If Fester wouldn't be interested in her, eh I believe I could make myself interested in her...LOL.
shareFester has been interested in "ugly" women. Remember that woman he thought was a showgirl but found out she only worked as a seamstress in the place?

That's true. And I always got a kick out of the way Herman, Lilly, Grandpa and Eddie and even Marilyn considered herself to be some sort of unattractive oddity. And the way it never occurred to any of them that the reason her dates always ran off into the night was not because of her, but because of her family. LOL
shareSort of like that "Twilight Zone" episode "The Eye of the Beholder" where Donna Douglas (Ellie Mae from "The Beverly Hillbillies") is thought of as the "ugly" one to be banished from society.

Yeah, very true!! And boy, she really was a knockout back then. Also, I remember seeing an episode on Rod Serling's Night Gallery back in the early '70s about a guy who was extraordinarily physically deformed. The setting was sometime in the future. And the guy was sent to some far off planet where the people looked like him. In return a person from that planet who looked like a human being, but nothing like the others on that planet was sent to Earth. I thought it was a pretty good episode and I used to really enjoy watching Night Gallery when I was a kid. Rod Serling was a genius at that sort of show.
shareThe "NG" episode was called "The Different Ones" and Serling wasn't too fond of it because it was too similar to "Eye of the Beholder". However, I thought that was a rare hiccup in the early seasons of the show (which often featured John Astin in some episodes).

<<<Eddie and Pugsley might be cool with each other with Wednesday trying to kill them both.
no, no, no. The 1960's Wednesday would have never done that.
This is the board for the 1960's munsters
and the original Addams Family tv series aired during the same years.
Well old school Wednesday would not be trying to kill them, she was the sweetest one in the family, the movies and new TV show did THAT to her character, I dunno why they were so intent on making her lucifer in the flesh.
Just because we lose today's battle doesn't mean we've lost tommorow's war.

Although in the 1970's, the two actors that played Oscar Goldman and Rudy Wells simultaneously appeared as Oscar Goldman and Rudy Wells on both "The Six Million Dollar Man" on ABC and "The Bionic Woman" on NBC.
In every episode of both shows at that time.
(during those seasons of the shows).
well not quite, but sort of.
In one episode, there is a picture of some of The Munsters relatives.
And they are all dressed up exactly like The Addams Family. 1960's version.
Although not the actual actors of that show, it seemed like it was an intentional reference of The Munsters being related to The Addams Family.
I'm glad they gave Wednesday some sort of personality in the updated versions. Besides, if they were to do a crossover, it would have to be with the recent incarnations of the characters from both families. Even though I'm not exactly thrilled with the casting of the current Munsters.

Would be cool to see spot chow down on the lion.
shareSuprisingly, Fred Gwynne aka Herman Munster IS associated with "The Adams House"
Adams House is one of twelve undergraduate residential Houses at Harvard University, located between Harvard Square and the Charles River in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Its name commemorates the services of the Adams family, including John Adams, the second president of the United States, and John Quincy Adams, the sixth president.
