Acceptable Fandoms

As a history-based community, we're obviously focusing on fandoms that occurred in the past. How FAR in the past is up for debate, but something that takes place in, say, the 1980s is probably not going to fly. Most acceptable fandoms will fall under the category of "period" or "costume" drama, but there's definitely some wiggle room. Fandoms may

Does the Addams Family TV Show count? It's from the 1960s (and set in the present time there, so that's why I'm super unsure if it's a yes or no) AND they even had a Beatnik in an episode once :P (Why am I having such a déjà vu when typing this? Haha)

Also, The Mummy Series is set in the 1920s-40s (three movies for three decades), so that should be good, right?)

SO! I think yes to the Addams Family. It's right on that borderline, but I wanted to include the 60's so I could play around with Pan Am, so... XD Go for it!

With regards to The Mummy...I've not seen any of the movies, but it seems like there's a good amount of focus on supernatural elements? I said no to Van Helsing for that reason. BUT if the Mummy is more Indiana Jones-style and focuses on archaeology with a side helping of magic-type stuff, I'll allow it. But if it's primarily sword-and-sorcery, I'll have to say no.
