TV Review: The Addams Family

Release date: September 18th 1964 - April 8th 1966 (2 seasons. 64 episodes).

Story: The many happenings and adventures of a macabre family named the Addams family. Whose family members include Gomez, his wife Morticia, their children Pugsley and Wednesday, Uncle Fester, Grandmama, their butler Lurch, and the mysterious unseen Thing.

My thoughts: This show was based off the newspaper cartoon strip by Charles Addams. It has been often mistaken for The Munsters (a similar comedy show about a family of monsters) and they even share the same musical clips. The cartoon strip later spawned two animated shows, four movies, a musical stage show, another tv show, and loads of merchandise. The theme song is widely known all over the world and it is one of the best known tv theme songs. If you like comedy shows like the Munsters then I would give this a watch.

My score: Three stars.
