@@samvanroon5041 It is. What it just has to be is creepy and not conforming to societal norms, but without doing in in a way that leads to intentional harm to people. Take the original, when people got hurt it was never through intent. But thats something they just don't do in reboots.
well, someone atleast appreciated the Addams's. those VIPs ate their food without complain and didnt frown when hearing it was eyes not eggs, they just figured "oh well... foreign delicacies" and then appriciated Lurch as amazing instead of horrifying.
Victor Iancu Not necessarily. There are plenty of foods that are typically poisonous that can be prepared safely. Case and point: puffer fish. For all we know, there could be an old Addams/Frump recipe that safely prepares henbane. Granted, we know that's not possible with henbane, but neither are half of the things we've seen the Addamses do, not to mention what's in their house. Of all the shows to overanalyze, this is not one of them.
are you aware that their is a bass player in a japanese heavy metal band that could be the reincarnation of Uncle Fester? look up, Ningen Isu / The Colour out of Space
Since the original airing of these shows, I've been in love with Morticia. No-one and no digital animation will EVER fill that black gown as did Carolyn Jones.
Morticia doesn't stop Gomez either lol...she just submits to his love. She softly admonishes him from time to time when its not appropriate yet very infrequently because you can tell by expression she really loves the attention.
I'm 36, watched this as a kid, didn't remember much about it. After deciding to give it a watch, I'm in love! The quality of the acting & jokes + how sweet Morticia and Gomez are, and I'm absolutely hooked! It's a shame this only went on for 2 years, because it holds up on many levels, and unlike a lot of shows, there's not stuff that makes you cringe about in retrospect. Can't say enough good things about this show
I am 35, same for me ! Though I watched it dubbed in the Latvian language, the translators did an amazing job, but now I am rewatching it in English, Addams family tv series really holds up! Amazing cast, amazing chemistry, jokes still funny, etc
That's why I like the Addams family so much. They do the opposite of what society expects and yet they love each other so much and they are always happy.
It's also too bad that in the 1990s Addams Family films that Lurch doesn't speak throughout the whole film. They even forgot to give Lurch his most famous line!

Problem is, I'm going to be very dissatisfied if that someone isn't ACTUALLY Lurch. (I kid, somewhat. Personality-wise he was darn near the perfect boyfriend.)
One of my all-time favorite episodes! I love the rare times they show that Pugsley is a scientific genius. He built a working disintegrator gun in this episode, and built the electronic brain for Smiley, Lurch's short lived robot assistant. Smiley was played beautifully by Forbidden Planet's own Robby the Robot in a guest star role! He also had a nuclear reactor at one point, but grew bored with it and gave it to Wednesday. Again in this episode, Gomez and Morticia fondly remember his anti-gravity machine and how the mailman liked it. It got him off his sore feet!
The fact that Carolyn loved this character so much she kept everything. Her dress, wig, her wicker chair… I was always kept in her room until the day she died. I wish her and John could have been together outside the show, but she died knowing how he really felt all long and he found that out too. I love that they got their backstage kisses when the 60’s era shows wouldnt allow people to kiss on the lips in television. Doesn't sense since they allowed John to kiss hey whole body… but a peck on the lips is out of the question. They were too sweet and their affection on camera was groundbreaking during this time period.
I have it set as my notifications and it went off while watching this. It didn't click at first but when Lurch wasn't on the screen and I remembered he hadn't been summoned, I realized it was my phone.
these guys are immortal! they drink posion like we drink water! Henbane i just looked this up is used to calm the digestive tract so moticia is right to use it to calm gomez but they do use posion like belladonna and nightshade in their food. a crazy wonderful show!!!!
For the kids out there, when one of the VIPs gushes, "This is fantastic," most persons under the age of 50 do not understand the ramifications of what he was truly saying. Before the late 1960s, the word "fantastic" did not have the same meaning as the same word used today. In fact, all one has to do is to follow the original Twilight Zone series (late 1950s through the mid 1960s) to hear many examples of the older understanding of the word "fantastic." It means anything which is not possible, being so ridiculously impossible as to be unrealistic or completely untenable. Hence, it was used as the adjective form of "fantasy." It was not until the "hippies" who revolted against everything their parents and the older generation stood for, that they used the word synonymously with "great," "far out," "cool," etc. The word "terrific" (which originally meant "terrible," "horrible") underwent the same evolution in meaning and usage.
It may be cuz English is not my first language but i use those words meaning exactly what old folks did and now i understand why people look at me weird when i speak.
I always liked this series. I suppose that with a beauty like Carolyne Jones like Morticia, it would not be difficult for John Astin to act that he loved in such a romantic way and devoted to his wife. Moreover, I love how he shows that he loves her. This is how spouses should treat each other.

@@Kirsten_is_cursed10 eh… it’s way different though. This coming from someone who wasn’t alive for these shows. Yes, I enjoy modern television, but sometimes it’s quite absurd compared to this stuff haha
@@Kirsten_is_cursed10 unfortunately modern day entertainment is objectively bad, but that's what we are stuck with, so some try to find something to enjoy from it. At least we have reruns of classics like this.

"Well if you'll excuse me; I have to go feed my plants, otherwise they'll get cranky." "Plants? Plants get hungry? Cranky?" "Well, after all; they're only human."
Carolyn Jones, the Godmother of Gothic! Such a beautiful talented actress and sadly missed. It's hard to believe she passed away from cancer in 1983, the year I was born. I maybe young, but I was brought up on all the good old classics before the 80's, the same goes for music, I'm a massive Elvis Presley Fan!! Aw, those were the days, I wish I was born before the 80's!!!!! 🏰🦇✨🌙🦉🍁🍂🔥🕸️🕷️👻⚡
This sitcom is simply awesome: -D.... They are really environmentally conscious, I have to say. If they have anything left during their meal, they simply give it to the piranhas in the aquarium. It's a nice idea: -D: -D
I came here after watching the new Wednesday show, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It ranks second to the 1960 original in viewership. I'm 30 so I didn't grow up watching TV in black and white but I certainly appreciate the creativity, humor and overall greatness of this show (and many other movies from this era). Very different from what we watch on TV now, that's for sure.
I am a young girl and honestly I just love this show ! I wish my generation know more about old show and not just all the remake 😔 Anyway love when Carolyn say “C’est la guerre” 😂
@@Samar3n I was too young to experience the genuine soviet functionaries, but it's very accurate to the portrail of the low to mid civil servants in the old soviet films.
@@Mafon2 Are you from any post-Soviet state? I wonder where you got that hostile depiction of soviet civil servants from. I had never seen anything like that in old soviet films. I'm russian, by the way.
This show has ruined romantic relationships for me (even more so than what Disney did!). Gomez and Morticia are the DREAM COUPLE. Everytime Gomez looks at her wife and says "Tish! When you speak French to me, you drive me wild!" and starts kissing her, my heart sinks a bit since men are not like Gomez in real life. 😭 Finding what Morticia and Gomez have would be the most amazing thing ever. They are couple goals times 666.
I'm so happy to say my girlfriend has been a perfect Gomez for 8 years now, even tho I'm a perfect uncle fester lolol!! Relationships like morticia and Gomez is actually real, it doesn't have to be taken that literal but when there's actual uninterested love and trust that passionate stare and devotion goes natural, you don't need to be hot af to be loved that way just find that person who aims to age with you and will adore your body having the shape and imprrfections it have by nature because it is you what fills their life and they what fill yours.
I like how they're the "VIPs", not "Russians" or "Soviets". Was this common on TV at the time? I don't watch any black and white shows other than this one.
Dont forget Vitto Scotti he was a great character on Gilligan's island ss the little Japanese sailor and the mad scientist- very funny many who could fit the rolls well
Is it ever explained whether the Addams Family are dead or alive? Are they just eccentric individuals or they're living corpses? Or is it a mysterious thing that it's up to us to decide?
These were days of no internet,cell phones,computers,video,or DVD players.If you missed your favorite show at its designated time slot tough luck ,you had to wait 6 months for the summer re-run season.The TV Guide was carefully studied (magazine only)in those days.

I did see the reruns too from black and white TV set we still had, I am glad you survived :)
Some of my fondest memories are of plopping down on the couch to this masterpiece of a show with my late grandfather. It almost makes me cry, love ya Pa
"Well if you'll excuse me; I have to go feed my plants, otherwise they'll get cranky."
"Plants? Plants get hungry? Cranky?"
"Well, after all; they're only human."

Very true
Uncle Fester was a genius. A pioneer of Sound Therapy Frequency
I just loved when uncle Fester smiled at the end of the intro.
Back when talent and innocence was rewarded with fame.
Carolyn Jones, the Godmother of Gothic! Such a beautiful talented actress and sadly missed. It's hard to believe she passed away from cancer in 1983, the year I was born. I maybe young, but I was brought up on all the good old classics before the 80's, the same goes for music, I'm a massive Elvis Presley Fan!! Aw, those were the days, I wish I was born before the 80's!!!!! 🏰🦇✨🌙🦉🍁🍂🔥🕸️🕷️👻⚡
@Jax You're absolutely beautiful. I'd like to get know you if at all possible. 🌹
It would have been awsome to see The working-class Munsters spend the day with the so-called upper-class Addams Family :)
The Munsters would not approve and the Addams family would be generous and open, for they are far more forgiving.
Upper class? my foot!...or should I say my hand?...the thing was a hand and no one said that.... was hand a taboo word on the series?.... LOL....
JoJo C, A TV Series cross over. What a brilliant idea. Let’s do it.
@@MissMarinaCapri Someone needs to do a mashup.
Boo
This sitcom is simply awesome: -D.... They are really environmentally conscious, I have to say. If they have anything left during their meal, they simply give it to the piranhas in the aquarium. It's a nice idea: -D: -D
the guys who played the VIPs in this were just brilliant
You can't beat the original Addams Family. I enjoy this series very much!
Why didn’t they meet Wednesday? She’s my favorite character. Bummer
She was very young she hadnt even learned how to read yet my guess they giving her a break:)
Wednesday was only good in the movies. My favourite character in this show is Gomez he's just so delightfully crazy.
I would`ve loved them to meet Kitty :) wonder what impression that would`ve made. OMG Americans keep lions as pets
@@avivastudios2311 Disagree. Wedensday is a great character in the TV show. Very underused.
@@dilungmoveityafool777 They probably didn't want to overwork the actor. Similar to why they rarely featured kitty kat.
I came here after watching the new Wednesday show, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It ranks second to the 1960 original in viewership. I'm 30 so I didn't grow up watching TV in black and white but I certainly appreciate the creativity, humor and overall greatness of this show (and many other movies from this era). Very different from what we watch on TV now, that's for sure.
Adams Family- Never a dull moment.
Thank you for sharing MGM!
I am a young girl and honestly I just love this show ! I wish my generation know more about old show and not just all the remake 😔 Anyway love when Carolyn say “C’est la guerre” 😂
"Tishi, you spoke French!"
They actually captured those bumbling soviet bureaucrats pretty well.
Mafon2 They did a pretty good job with the American variety as well.
How do you know? Did you meet any in your life?
@@Samar3n I was too young to experience the genuine soviet functionaries, but it's very accurate to the portrail of the low to mid civil servants in the old soviet films.
@@Mafon2 Are you from any post-Soviet state? I wonder where you got that hostile depiction of soviet civil servants from. I had never seen anything like that in old soviet films. I'm russian, by the way.
This is one of my top five favorite episodes!
The 90s Addams family movies where good but this version of Addams family is still the best.
I have been watching the addams family for so many times and i am not near to stopping. This is too nice to watch 😍
This show has ruined romantic relationships for me (even more so than what Disney did!). Gomez and Morticia are the DREAM COUPLE. Everytime Gomez looks at her wife and says "Tish! When you speak French to me, you drive me wild!" and starts kissing her, my heart sinks a bit since men are not like Gomez in real life. 😭 Finding what Morticia and Gomez have would be the most amazing thing ever. They are couple goals times 666.
Men adapt to what is in front of them.
Sadly women aren't like Morticia so men aren't like Gomez.
@@Gambit771 ...yes Mortica was smoking hot.....wait a minute that's right ... she was so hot she was smoking!!!
I'm so happy to say my girlfriend has been a perfect Gomez for 8 years now, even tho I'm a perfect uncle fester lolol!! Relationships like morticia and Gomez is actually real, it doesn't have to be taken that literal but when there's actual uninterested love and trust that passionate stare and devotion goes natural, you don't need to be hot af to be loved that way just find that person who aims to age with you and will adore your body having the shape and imprrfections it have by nature because it is you what fills their life and they what fill yours.
@@janineadrianareguengagomez3708 Gomiz Addams or Selena Gomiz?
Umm, 666 is a satanic number.
I like how they're the "VIPs", not "Russians" or "Soviets". Was this common on TV at the time? I don't watch any black and white shows other than this one.
I like how they are confused yet intrigued not Frightened
Enjoyed this show so much more than it's "rival" series at the time: THE MUNSTERS
There should have been a crossover.
@@shiningkingghidora There's some fanart. Some a bit more... Lets say spicy.
"Is strong bell"😂
Dont forget Vitto Scotti he was a great character on Gilligan's island ss the little Japanese sailor and the mad scientist- very funny many who could fit the rolls well
One of my favorite episodes. Its funny, clever and features guest stars who appeared on Star Trek and Gilligan's Island.
Poor Uncle Fester, He's energy efficient.
Is it ever explained whether the Addams Family are dead or alive? Are they just eccentric individuals or they're living corpses? Or is it a mysterious thing that it's up to us to decide?
They're just very sturdy people.
Thing? Did you say Thing?
they're alive. they're just real eccentric people
They were the invention of cartoonist Charles Addams. An eccentric family living in an old house.
I think Lurch is a living dead, but yeah, they seem like they are normal people. Or would they be immortal? Hmmm...
I used to watch the Addams family when I was younger.thanks.
I love the Addams Family it's very light hearted and happy with comedy stuff too.
Yes!! Very different from the "psychopath - cold blooded Wednesday" modern tv show!
I love this show! This is downright hilarious!
I laugh until I am literally crying.
Thank you for the full episodes, I grew up watching this show and I still love it. Likely always will~
It's the "Trouble With Tribbles" guy playing the Ruskie..
Bruuhhhhhh I’m obsessed with morticia she’s so finee😍😍
You had better learn to speak French...
David Peters For her, I’d be fluent. 😍
Yessss she put me in a trance no cap
Yes I see it now. Truly a golden age of television when actors could make a lifetime impression even if you never learned their names.
Can anyone get tired of looking at Carolyn Jones?
She was the perfect, the best Morticia.
Not so far, but I may be getting a little eye-strain!
She was A-list.
Nope.
Can't look away.
Please show us one with cousin It
Wife:what’s in the mail
Gomez:bills!
Wife:wonderful
Me:pay mine please!
this, lost in space, and twilight zone were some of my favorite shows growing up, and im not that old. these shows were classic, thats all.
‘’Darling you have such a way with trains’’
Yep,so did Beeching!
Clever
I absolutely love The addams Familty Tv series. When I first saw an epsode, I thought Fester was a kind of electric monk !
This episode explained a lot of things in the real world!
When Morticia Saids Back to our own beautiful World and it sure is the life of The Addams Family😄
If every family were like the Addams, life would be so much more interesting.
Love the Addams family
I love how they love each other
I love the consistency that the VIPs stabbed a page that was at the beginning of the phone book, in a realistic spot for the name Addams to be
These were days of no internet,cell phones,computers,video,or DVD players.If you missed your favorite show at its designated time slot tough luck ,you had to wait 6 months for the summer re-run season.The TV Guide was carefully studied (magazine only)in those days.
used to be the same with radio broadcasts.
MGM has the Lion in the Addam’s house is a museum. 😃❤️
