From time to time,
we all face serious dilemmas during the courses of our lives, and one of the
worst has been choosing between [The Addams Family] and [The Munsters] for
many. Which side are you on?
Alas, with both
demanding total devotion, one cannot choose to fully enjoy both without having
the pall of adultery hanging over their heads for the rest of their days. Ah,
but Hollywood does have a very persuasive say in the matter.
P.S.
My mom would have been 88 today.

I never watched either of them very often. Out of the two, I probably saw more episodes of "The Addams Family"...but only a couple at most. I didn't watch a lot of TV back in those years. My friends and I always seemed to be doing other things.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! Yeah, and there wasn't all that much to watch on television back then. That is, at least not in comparison to today. I am talking about quantity--not quality, here.
DeleteI was thinking about this post and my comment last night. Back in those days my then boyfriend/fiancee(who years later became my second husband...long story) was a radio announcer. Most of his shifts were night shifts...I used to record his shows while listening to them and taking notes. When he finished his shifts he'd come to my home where, over coffee and snacks we'd go through the recordings and do constructive criticisms for all hours. That was one of the reasons I didn't watch much TV. I was also in the local Drama Group and was pretty involved in it for a while. There was always some going on It was just that there were lots of other things to do - being at the age we were. To be honest, it's only since I gave up work (aka retired) that I've watched more TV than I ever did throughout my working years. I'm catching up with a lot of the shows I missed out on when they were popular "first-runs"! "Mork & Mindy"....for one example....I'm presently catching up on all the re-runs of that brilliant show. I hardly got a chance to watch it much way back when it was doing its first rounds. lol
DeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Lee!!! You certainly have had a very full life.
DeleteTough decision there and I can't choose.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! Yep, it is indeed an age-old dilemma.
DeleteI know I never watched the Munsters, but I probably watched the Addams Family - just not a lot...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Grace!!! I suppose you are just a one-show woman--huh? (LOL?)
DeleteThis is a tough one. They are both great.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Lady Lilith!!! Well, I suppose an exception to the fidelity clause can be made for you.
DeleteI preferred The Addams family. Less slapstick and more wit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Stephen!!! What do you think of The Addams Family movies from the past few years? We think Raul Julia is wonderful in the role of Gomez, but there can be only one John Astin and that look in his eyes.
DeleteDear Jerry, I will have the say the Adams family!!! (snap..snap)!! Catherine
