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.

I guess they had the same writers using pseudonyms.

The Addams were normal looking, but monsters. The Munsters looked like monsters, but were normal. The Addams have had much more staying power, while the Munsters are kitsch for gen xers. The Addams would be MK Ultra and related. The Munsters would be conditioning to accept "others" and the coming clown world.

It's not a psyop. The writers were taking inspiration from the same myths, dreams, fables.

I remember pointing these similarities out as a kid and my parents acting like I was crazy
My family always liked the Munsters more
I even watched both those as reruns when I was young

Munsters are like a typical family except they're monsters.
Addams are joos.

I'm sorry but nobody will explain this clearly to you. We're all afraid of repercussions if we say too much. Some people are also jealous of their knowledge and wouldn't share it here anyway. I'll say this: there's a great secret in this world, and countless works of art have been inspired by it.

>one network creates a knockoff of another network's show
>OP has an IQ of 40 and thinks this is paranormal
They did this again decades later, with fox having a groundhog day knockoff show where a chick repeated a day on loop until she solved whatever problem she was supposed to solve that day, then abc some time later making the same show but with a male lead. Not paranormal. Just ripoffs.
