Correction- "THE MUNSTERS" [9/17/64] and "THE ADDAMS FAMILY" [9/18/64] premiered the same week, and went off their networks the same week ["MUNSTERS", 9/1/66, "ADDAMS", 9/2/66].
The Addams family is actually much older than the Munsters.
They were originally created as cartoon strips that go back as far as the 1930s.
However, the success of The Munsters was enough to convince ABC to make a TV show based on the Addams family comic. But it didn't actually have quite as many episodes as The Munsters before it was cancelled.
Although one could argue that Addams family, having had multiple cartoons and live-action movies, was more successful in the long run.
hey Tmitohy.. I have put stuff on youtube and it is harder than you think. If you do not like it just move on. bruceleetortoise put it on and I think anything is better than nothing. Good to be critical for no reason I guess from your standpoint. I always wonder why people come to someones video and insults it. It isn't like you are going to a movie and paying 10 dollars. This is youtube.
Somebody loved this enough to film it back when they had to use an old fashioned home movie camera to do so, then kept it all these years, and then put it on Youtube! That was from the heart! "We thank you Thomas Edison. The movies are great medicine. You've given us the best hours of our lives!
Great memories.

I don't care about the quality. The fact that I can hear the reel playing is awesome.
