Addams Family (1964-1966) was a classic television show that lasted two
years. Gomez Addams was hilarious whilst Morticia was a hot number.
Pugslie and Wednesday were their creepy son and daughter. Uncle Fester, Granmama, Lurch and "thing" rounded out the principal cast of characters. Gomez was a rich businessman who married into a family of ghouls and
freaks. Every since he was a young lad he was an outcast because he loved
oddities and weird people.
The show competed with a rival station's version called The Munsters.
Today the clear winner then and now is still the Addams Family. The
show's writing was excellent and Gomez and Morticia played off of each
other greatly. Instead of being monsters and characters of fantasy like the
Munsters, these kind of people could actually exist. The show stretched
the boundaries of decency, standards and practices. If you can tell I love
this show.
Overall, the Addams Family is pure classic television. John Astin and
company were great. I have to recommend this show for all lovers of
American pop culture and television!

memory of the original Addams Family!
