Added DiffLines:

* BookSmart: The few times we see her in college, it is clear that her professors and classmates consider her rather intelligent. She is also the most sensible and perceptive member of the family in the original series (though not the sequel series), often given by the script the "leading questions" to ask the others (and set up their humorous answers).


Added DiffLines:

* StraightMan: Unfortunately, most of her dialogue consisted of feeding straight lines to the rest of the family.

* FighterMageThief: The three adult members of the clan- tall, super-strong BumblingDad Herman is the fighter; Lily as the most rational, organized [[OnlySaneMan OnlySaneWoman]] with vampiric abilities but with the most physically weak build (despite being able to cold cock [[TheBigGuy Herman]]) makes the mage; and MadScientist Grandpa is the thief, given that he usually resorts to slyness and spells behind the others' backs to solve problems.

* InformedAttribute: The number of times in the entire franchise that Eddie actually transforms into a werewolf on-screen can be counted on one hand.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Expy}}: While she is named after Marilyn Monroe, her actual hair and clothing style as well as demeanor seem much more based on teen icon Creator/SandraDee, a beauty icon in her own right who starred in many beach movies and rom-coms.

* QuirkyHousehold:

to:

* QuirkyHousehold: A supernatural immigrant family from TheOldCountry:
** {{Adorkable}} FrankensteinMonster Herman, the patriarch
** Spunky CuteMonsterGirl daughter of Dracula Lily, the matriarch
** MadScientist and DotingGrandparent Grandpa, aka the Count
** Eddie, the little AllAmericanBoy who howls at the moon and sleeps in random places in the house
** Marilyn, the sweet and attractive adopted daughter whose normalcy not only highlights her relatives' own quirks but comes off as very odd on its own considering how she's a human who thinks haunted houses and dragon pets are ordinary


Added DiffLines:

* CheeryPink: Lily is as upbeat as June Cleaver or Donna Reed, and lots of official art and merchandise has her wearing a pale pink gown.


Added DiffLines:

* GenkiGirl: The modern remake depicts her as somewhat flighty and more hyper in her youth compared to how more mellow and proper she is in the 1960s series as a married mother.
