Another similar coincidence is the two similarly-themed TV sitcoms
about monstrous or supernatural families, The Addams Family and The
Munsters. They began just six days apart, so neither could have been
at all based on or inspired by the other. (TAF was based on a comic
strip, and TM was based on Universal's monsters.)
_The Munsters_ was inspired by the Addams characters, but by Charles Addams' cartoons rather than the TV show that was directly based on them. Allan Burns, creator of _The Munsters_, said, "We sort of stole the idea from Charles Addams and his New Yorker cartoons."
