Addams Family vs. Munsters? I think not
Tony Figueroa of blogcritics.org has written an interesting opinion piece about the comparability of the original Addams Family and Munsters shows and their many contrasts:
The Beauty of The Munsters & The Addams Family
I do not want to repeat my Blake vs. Potter debate, but comparing The Addams Family to The Munsters is like comparing Laverne & Shirley to Cagney & Lacey.

M&MS vs. Addams Family Lawsuit
Hot on the heels of a lawsuit charging they infringed on the image of Times Square icon "The Naked Cowboy," the makers of M&Ms have been slapped with a $10 million federal suit for using characters from the old "Addams Family" TV series in their dark-chocolate candy ads.
A freelance entertainment broker is suing Mars Inc., claiming she originally pitched the concept of having characters from the 1960s-era show interact with animated M&Ms in an ad to cross-promote the release of an "Addams Family" DVD.
