This episode should have been called "Pugsley and the Gorilla," since that's the focus of it. The Ladies League plays such a minuscule role in it, taking up less than four minutes of screen time, it shouldn't even have been included as a plot element. The gorilla performance, by George Barrows, is lively, clever and funny and dominates the action in the piece. Pugsley's initial interactions with it at the circus are hilarious. It's nice to see Pugsley get such a large chunk of screen time. Lurch's jealousy of the increasing role the gorilla takes in household chores after it has followed Pugsley home and been adopted by the family is also amusing and allows Lurch to play a greater role in the narrative as well. The Ladies League should have been left out of it entirely.

Pugsley's New Pet
Jimmy_the_Gent410 May 2021
Gomez takes Pugsley to the circus and the boy makes friends with Gorgo the gorilla.
An amusing episode. Gorgo follows Pugsley home and he stays with the Addams. Lurch becomes a bit jealous as Gorgo takes over some of his duties. Morticia invites two women from the Ladies League, hoping to join their club. Funniest scene is when Gorgo tries to serve them tea.
