			Oh, what a fun topic.  I honestly can't choose.  I preferred The Munsters as a child, but later realized The Adams Family was somewhat more sophisticated.  Haven't watched either show in decades.  You all remember details worlds better than I do.
Wasn't The Adams Family based on a series of New Yorker cartoons, maybe by Jules Pfeiffer or some such name?  And I think he called them the "Adams" (or Addams?) family as a parody of the Massachusetts Adamses.
I'm originally from Mississippi, so make of that what you will.  Hey, Shanda, I am a Tennessee transplant, too!  But I live in Middle TN, near Nashville.  We are Vandy fans, not UT.
ETA:  Never mind.  Just did a quick Google check, realized the cartoonist was Charles Addams, so I guess he named them for his own family!  Must have been an interesting bunch!
