I follow Rob Zombie on social and he posts a lot of shots of the new Munsters show he is working on. I have no hope for it because I don't think there is a market for it, but it looks like they're having fun at least.

I heard the working title is More Herman than Herman.

This displeases Dev- ..van. Shut up.
The Addams Family are a goth version of rich liberals, living their best life because they have so much money they're basically not the same species\ on the same planet as the rest of us and, yes, I am jealous.

The Munsters are white trash but they can afford a house in the suburbs and a hotrod. I'm still jealous.

they're the exact opposite of the ideal american family OP.

they aren't middle class or hard-scrabble working class they're ludicrously aristocratic.

they aren't hard workers they've inherited all their wealth and gomez has a magic ability to make anything he invests in succeed.

they don't play baseball and drink beer with the boys while mom cooks apple pie, they grow venus fly traps and collect coffins.

they're obssessed with death and the gothic rather than picket fences and jesus and childhood innocence.

they love each other and have a healthy relationship because not a single one of those things makes them bad people. the franchise is about how not understanding something or being different doesn't make something evil. that's why in values all the native americans are the Jewish kids, handicapped kids, black kids, asian kids etc and they take over the thanksgiving scene to tell the story from the native americans perspective.
indeed, this was the real fundamental joke

The TV press at the time said Gomez and Morticia were the only TV couple that came off as being actually likely to produce issue

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.


I watched the OG Addams family sitcom and there’s an episode where Gomez gets upset because his property tax bill is too low and he thinks the governments calling his family’s house cheap. He tries to get them to raise his tax bill and runs for office out of anger when the mayor tries to lower it further to earn his vote.

He’s asked his opinion on slums and says that historic neighborhoods need to be protected. And “humorously” says that demolishing a slum is like demolishing a swamp. Unthinkable!

It’s loving crazy that his joke positions that no sane politician would propose are all actually really reasonable and forward-thinking policy opinions now

The scene where they're locked in the happiness cabin at camp is a wonderful. First there's the little "I'm steeling myself for what is to come" motion that Wednesday does, then it cuts to the outside and you just hear the happy, syrupy songs. Perfect.

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
There's a great episode of the old show where Pugsley dabling in wanting to be a boy scout and Gomez is distraught. He goes through all of the phases from confusion to disgust to blaming himself and finally around to acceptance because he loves his son no matter what.

It's very wholesome, and not in that forced American exceptionalism bullshit way typical for the time period.

Just :lol: If all your sexual acts don't already centre around Addams Family roleplay.

And Thing roleplay is great for masturbators, just sit on one of your hands first until it stops feeling like your own, then stick it through a tissue box.

I recommend the episode Lurch Learns to Dance. Carolyn Jones is Anjelica Huston's equal, in my opinion, and John Astin is a fantastic Gomez

They're the best family in the world but they're unkillable monsters and if they were real they would actually probably not be supposed to interact with other people because we would all die from them

The original Charles Addams cartoons (both with the family and others) were genius. The series was great too.

The fun part is the fact that the family had no last name. They eventually were called "The Addams Family" simply because it was easier than "That Family That Chas Addams Keeps Drawing In His Cartoons". He was the inspiration for Gahan Wilson, who was also a morbid genius, and who I admire greatly, as well.

When I was a kid, I used to intensely fantasize that I was a member of the Addams Family. I still would love to be a part of the Addams Clan. Majorly. As in I would ponder this day in and day out sometimes because I just wished that was my life. And that was my house.

They're also somewhat the inspiration for Ray Bradbury's Elliott Family, which started in 1946 with 'Homecoming' which could be describing an Addams Family gathering of sorts.

Addams Family Values really deserves to be in that Godfather Part II/ Star Trek II/ Aliens/ Empire Strikes Back/ Terminator 2 tier of greatest film sequels. Like, the first movie was solid and all the cast and elements are all there, but when all is said and done it really was a dry run for Values.

That movie actually rules really hard and Christina Ricci as Wednesday Addams should have won some sort of award for her role

Gomez Addams is such a great character to play, I like everyone's version, even that late 90s ytv version when I was young. They brought Peter Boyle back to be Grandpa Addams for a minute I think which was also really nice.
