The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

  • “They're​​Creepy​ and They're Kooky Mysterious and Spooky They're All
    By Ursine the Mad Bear and SJ-Chan Version 21.4 “They're​ ​creepy​ and they're kooky Mysterious and spooky They're all​ ​together​ ooky The​ ​Addams​ family.” So, for the next ten years, you are living in a world that seems normal, with the exception of the titular clan and their associates. You can choose to be part of the family from the show, or start your own branch. Take these +1000 Choice Points and have fun. ​ ​ AGE AND GENDER You can choose your age and gender as you wish, as long as it fits with your Origin. LOCATION Your starting location is up to you, as appropriate for your Origin and identity, though I suggest the Addams Family mansion. It has its own graveyard and quicksand! ORIGINS The Addams are often quite different from each other. The only real constant is that they are devoted to their family. So, who do you take after? GOTHIC ROMANTIC Suave, charming, elegant and with a soul darker than midnight, you are the more civilized and subtle side of the Addams. As civilized and subtle as they get, anyway. CREEPAZOID Manic, morbid and stupendously strange, so-called ‘normal’ people may think you a monster, but your family knows you are just an Addams. EXTENDED FAMILY The Addams clan is extensive and full of unique individuals, of which you are one. Don’t let it worry you, no Addams is ever truly alone. NORMAL Maybe you aren’t an Addams after all. Or maybe you are their weird freaky cousin that just isn’t like the rest… you might even pass for (gasp) normal! Don’t worry, they will still love you.
