The Munsters and Addams Family were to weird for TV

  Otto Jansen

One of the greatest mysteries in TV is to why these two programs were canceled at about the same time despite strong ratings. The theory goes that network producers canned these two programs as they were considered too weird for that time. In the mid sixties society was changing and hippies were evolving. The networks were concerned about their images and shows like the Munsters and Addams family had to go. ABC was particularly concerned about their image with the Addams Family. there were those in power at the network that said this mess had to go. the Munsters would soon follow. Both shows were awesome and it is a shame that the cowardly conservative networks let these two programs go in the late sixties. What was so wrong with a program about men loving their wives. Which brings up the latest TV quiz at the left Shark. Who loved their wife more Herman or Gomez? I would say Gomez because he would kiss her about every sixty seconds on the show. Its funny to think how the networks would fail and society would get very weird anyway in the few years after this program went off the air.
