Pondering it a bit more, after Typo's comments, Grandpa was an Addams and the rest of the family were way too self-conscious Munsters. Herman should be blithely oblivious to his nature, and this one was constantly thinking and worrying about it.

I was thinking the same thing about the differences between the Hermans.
Gwynne's unselfconscious innocence would not play well in this day and cynical age...I think. So the 'he loves too hard' seems an appropriate compromise.
I totally agree that Grandpa is very Addams. In fact, I actually found myself looking for Wednesday at one point.
Spot being visible shook me out of the story, for some reason.
Ah, the difference in the technological ages. Invisible dragon vs. cgi.
Yvonne Decarlo's Lily was much more the head of the family, which is the role Eddie seems to be taking over. I can't say that I mind that, really.
I loved his transformation at the end being presented without comment.

I thought Spot was just never clearly shown due to budget contraints rather than actually invisible. I seem to recall seeing eyes in those scenes where they opened the stairs to reveal him breathing flames, and maybe a tail slipping past an open doorway a time or two?

Now that you mention it...I think you are right about the tail. I'd forgotten that.
...it's been a loooong time.

Once upon a Time: I'm glad they introduced Dr. Victor Von Frankenstein, because the show has really been suffering lately from not having enough characters for us to follow...

Since when is Frankenstein a fairy tale character?

The definition of "fairy tale" is quite loose. Although I have to say that I'm confused that Frankenstein ended up in Storybrook, since the Hatter took him back to his world. So, when Regina cursed the fairy tale world, he wouldn't have been there.

Matt,
I'm not quite sure why you asked a sensible question about this series.
