1	!!The TV Series
2
3	* The whole famous as they are are pretty awesome: Dracula, Dracula's daughter married to Frankenstein's creation, a kid werewolf, their pet dragon, pet bat, wisecracking raven, the cat that roars, and the Muggle that loves them all.
4	* Herman's famous speech to Eddie about how your race and appearance doesn't matter; it's what's inside that defines your character. It's the early 1960s, in the midst of the Civil Rights movement.
5	-->“The lesson I want you to learn is that it doesn’t matter what you look like. You could be tall or short, or fat or thin, or ugly- or handsome, like your father- or you can be black or yellow or white, it doesn’t matter. But what does matter is the size of your heart and the strength of your character.”
6	* Grandpa's experiments are all awesome, as kooky as they are.
7	* Herman and Grandpa winning the drag race in the Dragula. For that matter, the Dragula and the family car, the Munster Koach, are both [[ImprobablyCoolCar awesome vehicles.]]
8	* Eddie winning the race ''without'' Grandpa's magic pills. How did he do it? He cared that much about not making Herman, his coach, feel bad. Doubles as Heartwarming.
9	* In a way, how quick Lily is to go out and find work in a time where it was still expected of women to be housewives. She takes on a number of jobs, ranging from normal ones like secretary to nurse's aid, to more unusual ones like modeling or welding. She's clearly driven to support her family and has a range of talents. This was kind of progressive for the early 1960s.
10	* Lily was rather liberated for a 60s housewife. Besides working, she was independent, assertive, and never afraid to stand up to Herman, even during his fits. In fact, he was the one wrapped around ''her'' finger!
11	* Both the season 1 and 2 theme songs are pretty awesome, but notably s2's surf rock version.
12	* Lily beating Herman in arm-wrestling.
13	* The few times we see Marilyn in college, it is clear that her professors and fellow students are impressed with her intelligence; in those few scenes, it is made clear that there is much more to her than a pretty face, an uncommon thing for a television series of that time.

15	!!The 2022 Film
16
17	* Herman's punk rock band was pretty awesome.
18	* The ending, where it turns out Lester got the money back and repaid all he owed his family, who are overjoyed to finally have a stroke of good luck.
