'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Is Commando Krav Maga something different? Because that's what his shirt said.

Jesse, my dirty mind assumes it means doing Krav while not wearing underwear. Probably wrong though, cause that could get VERY painful.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Commando Krav is different and I have absolutely nothing not-snotty to say about them. Where was it set?

I like this idea. I'm sure it doesn't have to be that expensive. Someone gimme some. Of course, this idea just looks stupid.

So which one is the realer deal--Addams Family or The Munsters?

Charles Addams is the real deal. The series is a crude approximation of the cartoons, but still better than the Munsters.

Ah. It was only a two-minute bit anyway. I assume it was LA-ajacent, but couldn't swear to it.

You know, I never really thought before about elite soldiers not wearing underwear. Huh.

I like them both, but I think The Munsters has a few things going for it that the Addamses don't, particularly because they're the Immigrant Experience writ large and weird, trying to fit into their American suburbia while remaining true to their roots. I also appreciate them because they love Marilyn and accept her exactly as she is, which a number of families I know in real life could do better with similar-in-spirit situations.

Also, they have Al Lewis and Fred Gwynne who are clearly having so much fun....

I have a suspicion that you don't find any old, bold, elite soldiers going commando.

I adored the Addams but couldn't stand the Munsters. I think I just had a crush on Gomez and Morticia.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Addams Family: gothier, mordant, wicked. Gomez/Morticia chemistry and Lurch are big pluses. Plus former child star as freaky Fester.

Munsters: More rock and roll (better theme), goofier. Fred Gwynne actually a very cool and interesting guy (among other things gave Tom Waits the song title for "Yesterday is Here" when they both worked on The Cotton Club). Former movie star Yvonne DeCarlo (who inspired Sondheim's song "I'm Still Here."
