ABC's The Addams Family and CBS' The Munsters: both shows debuted and were cancelled in the same weeks, and played the same plots with the same particulars, sometimes even at the same time.
>Both families went on a treasure hunt, discovering a chest of fortune on their own property.
>The children of both families ran away.
>Both families filmed spacemen episodes (common in the 1960s)
>Both show devoted a storyline to the parents' mistaken assumption that their little boy had been transformed into a chimp.
>Beatniks discovered both families
>Both show presented a leading character going on a hopeless diet.
>Both families built robots.
>Arguments erupted in each family and someone painted a white line to separate the house [which also occurred on Gilligan's Island at almost exactly the same time),
>Family pets were missing in both shows (with the Addamses, it was Thing).
>Both Herman and Gomez suffered from massive amnesia.
>Both cantankerous Characters, Grandpa and Fester, ran newspaper ads advertising for a mate.
