Impressions

It totally could have happened. They�re both from the �60s. Both had sitcoms appear in 1964. The theatrical movies and the revival series (The New Addams Family) came out the in the �90s.

Really? I only know the ADDAMS FAMILY movie with Christina Ricci on it, and of course the MUNSTERS! (i remember finding the mother really cool!)

The Addams Family themselves have been around since 1938, they were single panel cartoons published in the New Yorker by Charles Addams. The first names though did come from the television show.

I like keeping The Addams Family and The Munsters separate because of their different comedic styles.

I'm not a Star Wars fan. I fell asleep during one of them a long time ago. It's not my cup of tea. Doctor 10 seasons of Doctor Who are about as sci fi I'll get

I don't want you to have to feel like you need to be careful when you post on here. I'm just asking you be respectful of other fans opinions. It's all good

With all the remakes taking place, I'm sure something like this will happen. Remakes of the classics seem to be the hit thing these days.

I remember The New Addams Family. It was one of the original shows when FOX Family Channel first started in 1998. It wasn't that bad. The theatrical movies from the 90's were the best for The Addams Family. Part 2 is still my favorite because of Joan Cusack.

Thank you Christopher! (it's all good with me too!)

On the ADDAMS FAMILY topic: i didn't know JOHN CUSACK was on it? (i only remember CHRISTINA RICCI and the main guy who later died of a heart attack RAUL JULIO, and of course ANJELICA HUSTON)

Joan Cusack, Valentina! (She played Debbie, Fester's love interest, in the second film).

Silly me!

I enjoy Doctor Who as well (I didn't like the Capaldi years, and can't watch them, but have hopes of eventually trying the Whittaker years). For me, Tennant is the best modern Doctor.

Christopher

I stopped watching after Tennant left. Doctor 10 was the best IMO. I also thought Donna was the best companion and was so pissed at the ending she got. She should have had her memories back I tried a few episodes of Matt Smith's Doctor and got bored. Doctor Who is another show I started watching when it came out here in 2005 or 2006 and then stopped watching because it wasn't good anymore. I've been encouraged to watch the Capaldi years, but I'm not a huge science fiction fan. Space ships and aliens are boring to me. David Tennant's years of Doctor Who had a good cast and that's what I kept watching. Oh and Torchwood. That was another good show that was gone too soon. I liked how dark Torchwood was. It reminded me of Buffy.

RetroGuy2000

I, too, enjoyed Torchwood, and you are right: there was a strong feeling of Buffy, there.

David Tennant was just so good. But all of his companions were excellent. Yes, the ending of the Donna storyline was horrific. I have hopes that they will one day fix that. After all, during David Tennant's years, they fixed Sarah Jane Smith's abandonment from the 1970s, so old wounds can be healed. And I would definitely consider that quite a wound: no memories of The Doctor.

I started watching Doctor Who in 1985, and got to see the original 1963-1989 run (nearly all episodes available at that time), so I still remember the era of tin foil monsters. The 2005 revival was fantastic. I have a TARDIS mug that the TARDIS dematerializes when coffee is poured into the mug, something I had wanted since I was a kid, back when you could order them on PBS.

80s Dude

The Addams Family TV show in the 60s stared Andy/Mackenzie Aston's father John Aston as Gomez. He and Lisa Loring, who played Wednesday are the only surviving cast members from the 60s TV show. You can see John Asten on the Facts of Life episode where Jo reviews her hidden piano playing skills at the Night Club with Mrs. G.

The only science fiction programs i like are the old ones:
STAR TREK from the 1960 s when we had William Shatner on it; LOST IN SPACE is a favourite one of mine (the doc was always my favourite character), THE PLANET OF THE APES etc.... (all from the 1960 s i guess!)
My favourite of all times is THE TWILIGHT ZONE though (although it's more eerie/mysterious to be considered science fiction?)

There is a few more, but my favourite monster movies i enjoyed watching when growing up, were the Japanese ones: they had those dinosaur movies i had never been able to find on the telly again! (i'm not even sure it was ever made into DVDs lol!)

RetroGuy2000

Classic Star Trek is wonderful. I didn't care for Lost in Space. My favorite classic Twilight Zone episode is "Time Enough at Last" (the guy with the glasses).

Another favorite, for sure, was Land of the Lost.

Christopher

Donna is someone we all can relate to. She wanted her life to mean something and feel like she made a difference. All the things she got to do while with the Doctor showing her importance were wiped away. It still irritates me all these years later because Rose and Martha got their happy endings. Why couldn't Donna with at least knowing how special she really is? Not gonna lie, that's another reason I quit Doctor Who as you can tell I'm glad David and Catherine are friends in real life. It was so awesome seeing them act together again on her variety skit show.



Ugh, I hate Star Trek It just seems silly to me a story about a bunch of people on a space ship with their little "phew, phew" guns exploring planets I'm surprise how famous that show got. Trekies are serious fans too. Worst than FOL IMO. They protest if they don't get their show. I remember when that Scott Bakula Star Trek show ended. They surrounded UPN with their signs saying don't make the same mistake whatever other channel canceled the original Star Trek.
