I admit it: I liked The Munsters until I was old enough to realize that the only thing funny about it was Fred Gwynne in the Frankenstein/Herman Munster outfit. After that, it was all Addamses. Much clevererererer.
I should note that both live-action series finished their runs of original episodes before I was on solid foods, so I only saw any of them in syndication, which makes it tough for me to place how old I was when my sensibilities shifted.
Munsters: Dumb. Mundane. Typical Hollywood inanity. (Something about that “Frankenstein monster crossed with vampiress begetting wolf-boy and normal girl” concept just totally disrupts my willing suspension of disbelief.)
FYI: Jackie Coogan (Uncle Fester) was a combat glider pilot in WW2, serving in the China-Burma-India theater. A brave man to volunteer for such a dangerous duty!
Adams
Addams!
Addams, of course! The Munsters were fun, but the Addams family had John Astin and Jackie Coogan.

No Contest, Addams. I do vaguely remember some dreams about Morticia… never mind.
Of course the question was confusing to me because I’d never heard of Addams cheese.
Addams … no question.
Addams, of course
Addams.
Addams of course!!
Um … neither?
Definitely, always and forever, Addams.
Addams: Smart. Satirical. Humorous.

The answer is The Addams Family – of course…and mostly because I was a lot like Wednesday.
