| In the early '60s, after the classic Universal horror films of the '30s and '40s had become staples of late-night television, a new generation fell under the influence of these classic tales of terror, and this rebirth of interest in the scary movies of the past helped inspire two of the most memorable situation comedy series to appear on American television: The Addams Family and The Munsters, both of which aired (on different networks) between 1964 and 1966. Inside Television's Greatest: The Addams Family and The Munsters is a documentary which offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of these two classics of horror-comedy, and looks at their lasting influence decades after they went off the air. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide | |
