The Addams Family And Munsters Program Guide

by John Peel

Two of the wackiest and cultiest TV shows - "The Addams Family" and "The Munsters" - first appeared on American TV in 1964. Both have been continually repeated on both sides of the Atlantic. This book explains the background of both series, introduces the stars behind the corps-white make-up, and contains every spooky little detail of each episode. All the spin-offs are described. An overview chapter sets "The Munsters" and "The Addams Family" in the context of 1960s fantasy TV.

About the author

John Peel is the author of Doctor Who books and comic strips. Notably, he wrote the first original Doctor Who novel, Timewyrm: Genesys, to launch the Virgin New Adventures line. In the early 1990s he was commissioned by Target Books to write novelisations of several key Terry Nation Dalek stories of the 1960s after the rights were finally worked out. He later wrote several more original Daleks novels.

He has the distinction of being one of only three authors credited on a Target novelisation who had not either written a story for the TV series or been a part of the production team (the others were Nigel Robinson and Alison Bingeman).

Outside of Doctor Who, Peel has also written novels for the Star Trek franchise. Under the pseudonym "John Vincent", he wrote novelisations based upon episodes of the 1990s TV series James Bond Jr..
