I remember as a kid liking the Munsters and Addams Family openings,
and closings.  Let's see, the Munsters' credits were written in a
ghosty style.  And the look on Herman's face (when he comes thru
the door) always cracked me up.

As for the Addams Family, the song was great:
    ("They're creepy and they're spooky, mysterious and ooky,
      they're altogether kooky, the Addams Family.
      The house is a museum, when people come to see 'em,
      they really are a scre-am, the Addams Family...")
The family "portrait" pose and the snapping fingers was funny too.
And remember in the closing credits,

    Thing.....Itself

Da da da da, Neat, da da da da, Sweet, da da da da, da da da da,
da da da da, petite!
