They're one of the few examples of a good relationship based on love, respect, and communication in all of television, isn't that magical and spooky enough for you?

All the conflict comes from outsiders not being able to deal with them so they never had to rely on some dumb family drama.

Morticia and Gomez are legit relationship goals

Wednesday is an intelligent, confident, and socially conscious child that any parent should be proud of but I can't remember a thing about Pugsley's personality aside from fat.

I think Pugsley is supposed to be pretty smart as well

An energetic monster of a boy…blond red hair, popped blue eyes and a dedicated troublemaker, in other words, the kid next door…genius in his own way, he makes toy guillotines, full size racks, threatens to poison his sister, can turn himself into a Mr. Hyde with an ordinary chemical set…his voice is hoarse…is sometimes allowed an occasional cigar.

he is also fat

quote:

In all incarnations, he is overweight. In the original series, Pugsley is 1.42 metres tall and weighs 112 pounds. In the television series, Pugsley usually eats over five pieces of cake at birthday parties.

Cannibal Llama sounds like it could be a zany intentional throwback to mid OOs Penguin of Doom tier usernames but it also sounds like it could be the name of the lamest possible Metal Gear Solid boss so please don't make fun of it.

Who cares The Munsters were better.

Wtf The Addams family kicks the poo poo out of The Munsters. I mean don't get me wrong I don't hate The Munsters and Lily Munster is hot and all but it always came across as a fairly generic 60s sitcom with a classic horror theme gimmick.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

They're a cool, kooky family. Their customs and beliefs might seem strange to you at first, but they ultimately are a warm and loving family that embraces creativity and personal expression.

Ghouls usually eat human flesh, so I don't think the Addams Family falls under that.

Gomez is just like a gangster guy, right? He's the patriarch of the family and all but he feels the least supernatural of them all. Fester at least can make light bulbs shine in his mouth and stuff, and the kids are seemingly immortal.

A live action movie with Oscar Isaac and Chalize Theron as Gomez and Morticia could have been amazing, but we got a bland insipid cartoon instead :sigh:

I saw the first one for free and found it just so generically average and quite boring. I know the character designs are closer to Charles Addams’ drawings, but I couldn’t get over Wednesday’s encephalitic head.

A Youtuber did an updated "Adult Wednesday Addams" series a few years ago that had some pretty funny moments, IMO:

Naturally, she received a cease and desist order and then Netflix optioned the idea for a series with a different actress.

Thanks for this. They're pretty good.

So to lighten myself up after thinking about the bland animated remake, I thought of the slide scene in the first movie and smiled.

Yeah, and what his parents did to him inspired the Coogan Act, which forces adults to put the funds that child actors earn into a separately held account so their parents can't use it on themselves

Also you know Gomez has like a monster hog. It's just gargantuan. It puts Milton Berle to shame. That's why Morticia is happy all the time

The acting in the original series is great. They’re a wonderful, loving, supportive family. It’s the mysterious and spooky part that makes them interesting compared to all the bland family sitcoms of the 60s.

Also the original 1 panel comics from the 40s are really weird and sometimes dark. The only New Yorker comics I’ve even been able to understand.

The Cleavers would probably be the worst neighbors because you can tell they would flip out into a full "28 Days Later" murderous rage if they saw anything that contradicted their socially conservative lifestyle.

they also clearly love each other and their kids. like alot of sitcoms back then(and now to various degrees) the couples were weird assholes who just quietly hated each other. like not every relationship in media needs to be a mountain goats song.

He's a defense lawyer who loves losing cases and boasts about how many criminals he's put in jail because of how bad he is at it.

I think the rest of his wealth supposedly comes from bizarrely lucky investments or something like that.
