Well, The Addams Family, of course. Why? Because it has much better jokes than the other two.

My personal preference is for the Addams Family. It's hard to compare the Twighlight Zone with the other two, as it's the only drama of the three. But the Addamses are much funnier than the Munsters; although each presents a unique dynamic in a gothic/monster-based sit-com family.
That and I've always had a crush on Carolyn Jones.

Twilight Zone; because many of the shows were well written by people with endless imaginations. That alone made it just that much more interesting to watch. Not only that, but there's alot of variety in the shows. You're never really subjected to the same cast, nor the same premise, so it's like watching a completely new show everytime.

I voted for the Twilight Zone. It was just fascinating time and again in a way that the Addams Family and the Munsters just weren't. In fact, the Munsters kinda bored me a lot of the time.

well, thank you. these just happen to be my 3 favorites, and i do think that the addams family and the munsters were pretty similar... at least for back then, they were 2 that were the most alike 2 each other. (obviously, my opinion). they were all characters that were originally scarry, althought they turned the addams family and the munsters into comedys, they couldn't been in some kinda cheesy horror film.

How about other shows?
I'd like to see what people thought about other shows. The Munsters was just completely commercial schtick, a ripoff of the Addams Family, which was based on a great comic strip.
There was a show called "UFO" which was 6-season summer precursor to "Space: 1999". UFO was a much better story and had much kewler costumes. And some real hotties to watch on that one. A popular video game was based on that show decades later.
I guess the problem is you never get to see it anymore, so perhaps few people here have even heard of it.

The human spirit is a very hard thing to break... even with a chain saw.
I voted for the twilight zone.
Retro, The Young Ones are hilarious- and Monty Python's flying Circus, or British comedy in general. Red Dwarf is another good one. I'm done.... NOW.
ok, one more:
Girl Scout: If you give me a glass of your lemonade, I'll give you a box of my girlscout cookies, but I only eat things that are 100% organic and no preservatives. Is it a deal?
Wednesday: It depends... are they made of 100% real girl scouts?

I agree with Jane.. Red Dwarf was good too..
As for the 3 in the poll.. i picked the Addams family.. the Munsters were a retarded bunch..
and the twilight zone used to scare the pissfire out of me when i was little.. so i didn't watch it much..

Did anyone watch the Nightstalker? I guess that was a little more recent, but not much. There was also a show called Cliffhangers where each week they would end the show with some suspenseful something or other. one segment of the show was about vampires, so I watched it every week, cause you gotta support vampire shows, right?
Oh! BTW I voted for the Adams Family too. I hear once that they were considered the healthiest family on TV because all of their problems came from outside the home. Does anyone know if that is true?

No you don't. Not if it's Buffy :x No offense if anyone likes her. I'm really into Vampire myths and legends, but I'm really picky about vampires in entertainment. I understand where you're coming from, though.

Whoa!
The Munsters were a rip-off of the Addams?No shit?
The Addams ~ A bunch of insane people that keep to themselves
The Munsters ~ A family of monsters that try to fit in with society
Hhhhhmmmm........................
I think that was a bit of a stretch to call it a rip-off.
Me,I couldn't choose one favorite out of the three!

Ok... I have something to say about the outer limits- there's this one episode where this guy goes into a macheine that makes him "evolve" and he grows another finger... WRONG!! IT's proven that during the process of evolution, animals LOST digits (fingers, toes, arms, what-have-you). That's why today there is no such thing as a mamal that has more than five digits on each foot/hand/paw (except by freak of nature). ALSO- I read an article in a science magazine that I freeked out over for weeks- THE HUMAN PINKY IS DISSAPEARING! Each generation they get smaller. :oops: :oops: :oops: I'm done being a geek... for now :P

Re: Old T.V. Shows.
I grew up watching all 3 shows & loved them equally. So there's no 1 programme out of the 3 to call my "most favourite". However, I'm with Wolfmoon on this: The Addams Family pretty much kept to themselves, whilst the Munsters attempted to fit in with a "normal society" that never truly accepted them. Then again, the Munsters had a tricked-out, cutty family car: Dragula! Gotta give Herman & the fam credit for that! And Morticia looked hella attractive than Lilly Munster. Which was a better oldschool TV programme? Still a tough call.

Young one's is so the best programme ever, Rik Mayall is brilliant!
Addams family has to be the best of those listed, but the Twighlight Zone music...I start humming that every time something wierd happens, even if I made it happen.
"Hey, my video was here a minute ago..."
"Or was it? Do do do do...(That's the tune, OK!)"

Twilight Zone, Twilight Zone, Twilight Zone!
I think that the old Addams Family was my favorite show when I was four. And then when my parents went on the super-religious kick I wasn't allowed to watch it. But I digress!
Twilight Zone is one of the best shows in the history of television. I only started watching it when I was maybe 12 or 13, but I really love it. Does anyone else feel that the TZ marathon on Sci-Fi is the BEST part about New Year?

I totally agree, it's friggin' awesome! Yet I feel the New Years marathon to be a drag because I have have to go to my grandma's every year. The adults are too busy watching sports or some other crap; but I look foward to the Fourth of July episodes, do you?
