As a child in the 1960's, Uncle Fester was my favorite. As an adult, I found Morticia to be the character of choice. Overall I believe the cast as a whole were a perfect combination.

There was an episode were they were celebrating Halloween and invoked either Satan or evil sports, I don't remember which, during a ceremony. It's cited as the reason.

Of course the all deciding ratings were not high enough at the time. Like many shows, it took on a life of its own in syndication.

I remember helping my neighbor delivering newspapers for around 1 month so that I can buy a light bulb like uncle Fester had. That bulb cost me 4.00 and I had to beg my old man to drive me to the magic shop to buy it because it was too far away for me to ride my bicycle there. I remember calling up the magic shop and making sure they had it and if it's the same kind like uncle Fester had. Hay, what do you expect from a 8 year old kid. Lolololol.

Fun Fact: Caroline Jones' Morticia walk was because they dressed her in an old-fashioned corset. Initially she was moving that way because the corset was uncomfortable, then she incorporated it into the character. Also, on the Mike Douglas Show she joked about not wearing underwear because the Addams Family set was so hot.

Always a train fan, I enjoyed Gomez's train set. There were 2 of them, the first with traditional Lionel track, and the second with Lionel's then new Super O track. Great show! Every bit was well written. It holds up years later for both kids and adults. "Pugsly" Weatherwax is also related to the Weatherwax animal training family, who were the breeders/trainers of the Lassie Collies.

I think the best episode was when the Addams ran across the motorcycle junior delinquent 'Rocky', and sort of took him in to the family. It provided perhaps the series' most serious and poignant scene when Rocky's father realized and then verbally acknowledged that while everyone else had rejected him (Rocky) for much of his life, Gomez, Morticia, their children, and Fester instead wholly recognized, embraced and accepted him simply for who he genuinely was deep down inside, thoroughly changing his erstwhile and otherwise angry attitude and outlook. It showed the underlying 'true colors' of the Addams clan.

I do remember that a special was done (a Hallow'een Special, of course), and Grandmama was trying to brew up a potion to allow her to fly, but kept failing; she was about to give up, and told the other Addams in the family cemetery next to the house; but later came back out, apologized to the departed, said she was an Addams!, and would keep trying!

Thanks for this video. I was 16 when the Addams Family premiered in 1964. This series is my favorite TV show. I have the DVD's, and have watched them over and over. It's a great escape, besides excellent comedy and creativity. I don't agree with the words of the theme song: they're not creepy or spooky or ooky, whatever that is. They're off-beat, unconventional or anti-conventional and benign, and their lives are normal, to them (the food, their house, their clothing, their behavior, for example). It's a great satire and good clean harmless fun. I do not know why the show was abruptly cancelled. The writers had by no means run out of good ideas.
I've had trouble liking the episode about the beatnik boy (Tom Lowell) as much as the rest, even though the quality is as good, and it did have a seemingly happy ending between the boy and his father. The comedic parts aside, there is a subtly serious side about alienation of young people and estrangement from adults, especially parents, and the need for tolerance.

I LOVED Ted Cassidy as LURCH the ALWAYS put upon yet loyal Butler to the Addams Family. His multiple appearances in Star Trek TOS as the voice of the puppet BAALOK The Corbomite Maneuver, ROK What Are Little Girls Made Of, the voice of the GORN Arena, MADE those episodes for me!

Andre The Giant played BIGFOOT originally on The Six Million Dollar Man. Ted Cassidy replaced him on the show in the same role in 2 sequel episodes on the show as well as The Bionic Woman.

I was intrigued to find out THAT he ad libbed his line "YOU RANG?" on The Addams Family. In the comic strip, LURCH was mute. Ted opened up the character to SO many hilarious situations with his vocalizations. SO SAD that he DIED that young.

Morticia as a Florist...how fun! Bloomless roses, carnivore plants...who knows what else would've been in that shop 😁.

They're all my favorites even Morticia's sister she was funny.

Carolyn Bares

Mortician’s sister was Ophelia, and was as blonde dressed in white flowing gowns as Mortician was brunette in her ultra form fitting dress. Ophelia wore a crown of daisies on her head. Carolyn Jones played both characters.

6:05 What an actor he died 69 years old and his acting carrier span eight decades. That's some dedication!

@Cindy Knudson Yep. Right now a 42 year old person has been a part of 6 decades.

It could happen... 4 years in this decade then 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, and 5 years in the last decade. Eight different decades!? 🤔 maybe? 🤷‍♀️

Lurch is my favorite, the butlers ball and the one where his mom comes to visit are the best.

I like the episode when Morticia & Gomez reminisce about their first meeting & falling in love when they were young.

In 1965 I was 10 years old. I acted out Gomez, and before each show my five year old sister (as Morticia) would take my arm and I would escort her into the TV room
to the couch, and then we'd watch the show together. Sometimes I would kiss up her arm. :-) I loved that show!

7:22 Actually Tarzan in the CBS animated series was voiced by Robert Ridgely. Ted Cassidy voiced the character Phoebeg in a few episodes. Also, Captain Cave Man was none other than voice legend Mel Blanc, not Ted.

@Nicole Knight Ted Cassidy was also the narrator in the opening sequence of The Incredible Hulk TV series as well as the voice of the Hulk.

He did play Injun Joe in The Adventures of Huck Finn. He also voiced the bad guys, all of whom were an animated version of Injun Joe. He also did the theme song to Atom Ant.

Having grown up in the 90’s with the cartoons of The Adams Family and having seen the films which are probably more recent, my favourite character is Uncle Fester
