Re: Mockingbird Lane - It didn't suck!

I don't think this was derivative of "The Addams Family" - Fuller's sense of humor is pretty well established and this show fits it to a "T." The humor is macabre, whereas the one joke of the original "Munsters" premise was that they really were a prosaic suburban bunch who didn't get the way they appeared to others. That got stale pretty fast.
