Arguably, Wednesday was a “darker” take on The Addams Family — while still retaining the comedic roots of the source material.

So in theory, The Munsters could do something similar. The trick is getting the balance right. For example, depicting the odd-but-funny protagonists as actual murderers might be too subversive, too dark…
