      My favorite point about the Addams is that they care about each other. That was one of my problems with the Munsters, as much as they "loved" each other, they still seemed to need to needle each other in a way that the Addams never did.

    I can't be the only one that thinks Lurch is kind of cute... I mean he's tall dark handsome and if you pay attention to him he's actually very expressive. Him being such a minimalist you know he's more akin to a Vulcan like Spock or an elf in Lord of the Rings. He's completely capable of expressing himself and showing his feelings and even having them it's just it's more subtle than it is with other people.

He wasn't meant to speak at all until Ted came up with "you rang"... and John Astin the groan...
