Editorial Reviews

The Addams Family -- inspired by the amusingly macabre Charles Addams New Yorker cartoons -- introduced John Astin as Gomez, lawyer, philanthropist, and joyfully loony patriarch of the titular clan. The Family includes Gomez's slinky bride, Morticia (Carolyn Jones); sweet daughter Wednesday (Lisa Loring); inventive son Pugsley (Ken Weatherwax); Morticia's bald and bizarre uncle Fester (Jackie Coogan); Gomez's mother, Grandmama (Blossom Rock); Lurch (Ted Cassidy), the family's Frankenstein-like butler; the disembodied hand known as Thing; and the chattering hairball dubbed Cousin Itt. This collection of The Addams Family features the ghoulish gang in fine form: Gomez runs for mayor; Lurch becomes a pop star; Uncle Fester turns Pugsley into a chimp; and Cousin Itt loses his hair. This DVD volume contains the last 12 episodes of 1965's Season 1 and the first 9 episodes of 1965's Season 2, along with commentaries, featurettes, and more.
