Good employers

@@raymondweaver8526 I’m sure some friends wouldn’t even do that!

@@raymondweaver8526 i think lurch aint an employee he is definetly a family member i mean whenever lurch have a problem gomez and morticia care for him a lot i think thats wholesome

@@raymondweaver8526 It would be nice if every employer can do this in a perfect world. I do admire The Addams Family for doing this for Lurch. So sweet! :)

@@melissahoffman4687 Nah then every employee would take advantage

I’m sure you’re just as lovely as Morticia!

At 73 your a great comedian

You fox, you. 😉

@Santiago E. Juárez Martinez Blossom Rock portrayed Gomez's mother; Morticia's mother was played by Margaret Hamilton (Wicked Witch of the West, "The Wizard of Oz")

That's beautiful my sister dressed as Morticia for a party because people would say she looked like her , my late Nanna ❤️ and my mum look alot like her mother . It's sweet and nostalgic ❤️ thankyou for sharing

Yes, but how many wives call their husbands bubalah?

FACTS

56squadron I suppose they could start doing so!

It’s because they have no sense of self. It’d be nice if people didn’t nowadays but if they didn’t they’d be toast in the real world.

maybe not-so-much the bed of nails or the Iron Madien

They are couple goals

Gomez: speak french for me dear!

Me too.

I mean, look at her

That’s Amore Querida Mía

@@Books_Makeup Better a bottle than half a glass, unfortunately there are plenty of great shows out there that didn't even get past season 1

Brilliant

I would give you a like, but it's perfect at 666. . .

I never in a million years thought I'd enjoy this old of a show.

This compliment for old shows is really good

Gaea Ranee Ibanez hahahha

But then morticia admonished him. Shouldn’t lying be a good thing to them?

I thought they would be Republicans with all those Ill-gotten gains. Pirate gold...

Investments, a legal practice, salt mine, uranium mine...what ill-gotten gains?

Gaea Ranee Ibanez Gomez?!

Gomez is Boss but Morticia is Too and lurch is obviously adopted

Which made this and the Munsters the best two family sit-coms of the 60s.

Oh yes!!

Trust me it's not just TV husbands

@@elavke5441 ikr,?

True. Too much sarcasm and jokingly putting each other down

They are supposed to be the anti-thesis of the typical family So yeah

Y'all get much more kinder greetings & more respect in a bondage dungeon today than y'all do at Walmarts so go figure huh

That's cause BDSM fetishists understand that trust is most important and most fragile and want to make sure everyone thry meet is given the same amount of respect. Walmart knows their people will come. Ack regardless so they don't care.

"Goodnight Johnboy!", "Goodnight Elizabeth!" 🎵🎶

One more thing the Gomez's were RICH so they had no money woes.

Michelle A. Murray what creepy and not sending kids to school lol

That's just your fantasy talking, as we see man utterly worshipping his wife. Which we, men (aka males), do 99.95% of the time.

@@catholiccrusader5328 well maybe

Absolutely!! The women were always portrayed as lesser than the man…. My favorite show as a kid. Well that and creature feature lol

​@@Itunudeboraholowoyeye no.

@@dianem6951 We know it’s a tv show - it’s beautifully written and so well acted..

@@lavieenrose5954 You don’t seem like you know it’s a TV show. Seriously, it’s just entertainment. People need to be able to tell the difference. They seriously don’t have that ability.

Have you ever seen colour pictures of the set ? It's quite something

It prob would look to colourful

Lurch saying "momma" melts my heart ❤

Ted Cassidy the Actor, ad libbed the line "You Raaaang!" Great comedic work here. They all sold it so well, camp but took the characters seriously.

@@Alvan81 and in this episode, Ted got to use some of his talent. I see him in many old oaters.

This was an incredible performance of a non-talking character! I figured how they would solve Lurch explaining the issue of the episode to them without breaking character... Gomez guessing it and Lurch groaning "SERVANT..." was perfect.

Wasn't he the Judge in My cousin vinny?

Adam family is a awesome show,was1965,year before I was born,I remember watching in 1972,I was 6, Morticia a pretty lady,her and Gomez great actors

He was pretty cool in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Never met anyone from this show, but in '68 or '69.....while on a tour of Universal Studios....I did meet Grandpa Munster ( Al Lewis ). I was 13 or 14 at the time.

@@195511SM Did you watch "Car 54 Where are You?" It had Al Lewis and Fred Gwynne.

you're so lucky omg

I did get a chance to briefly meet Jackie Coogan (Uncle Fester) who had started acting in silent films working with Charlie Chaplin, Little Rascals and was the reason for child labor laws as his family stole his fortune. Charming man.

Definitely! I cracked up when Lurch knocked Gomez over when running to answer the phone out of habit.

It's like a cartoon in live-action!

Me tooooo

I still do that today and every time I smoke a friggin good cigar my family tells me to stop it...

I know, right? But the episode where Mortisha asks a guest if he minds if she smokes, and she doesn't actually light anything! She just smokes. I thought I might need help getting off the floor.

A bit stereotype wouldn't you say

Me too XD

@@clearsky1572 Agreed, it is actually a long lost art called acting.

Me too..

"Now, about pinching the maid......."

6:40 I don't think that was only Gomez checking Tish out, I believe that was ALL John Ashton (not saying I blame him).

Reminds me the character of Jamie Lee Curtis in A fish called Wanda 😂 That's the love for foreign languages!

Yeah.

We are the Addams family. People find us kooky and spooky. But they envy our love.

Such is the life of unassuming Immortals. Loving, devoted, and kind.

@@CJ-hz1uj Yes, well, when doing experiments as an undergraduate in organic chemistry the entire 3 story science building had to be evacuated for the day because even the hazmat people were having trouble getting into the lab I had mixed up something I got into no trouble. Why? Because everybody was happy to take the day off. They knew it was me because of my habit of washing my hands with concentrated sulfuric acid to show off. Who else could breathe the noxious fumes and not complain? My sweat was so acidic when I was young that I had to change the latex gloves every 10 minutes in anatomy class. They would first turn dark brown and fall off my hands in pieces. I of course was elected to saw the cadaver in half with a hand saw. However, the thanksgiving evening I literally blew up my kitchen with the entire meal prepared for 30 people; well the women were not happy. Especially when I said "no problem, I'll order pizza". The men and grandchildren loved it though. I was barred from the kitchen over a year. I would tell you about other members of my family but each "peculiar person" would take their own book to do justice. Only would mention Mishu, our now dead black cat, who decided to stick her but into my armpit at 3AM so I would midwife her as she gave birth. The kids were small then and my wife called them to see it. They kept going on about, "you see, Mishu knows Dad's a Doctor." Anyway, 2 months ago I spent 5 hours explaining things to the FBI, again, no charges will be filed. I just don't seem to fit "the parameters" but nothing I do is illegal, just unusual. Like having homeless men in our house to detox not as part of any program. Or cooking up medicine in the kitchen, no controlled substances, just stuff. I am NIH certified and principal investigator at 2 human research centers. I was great when the kids went to kindergarten for show and tell. I would have them answer to the whole class when asked, "what does your daddy do?" He makes and recommends drugs. I would also make whymes out of their Dr notes. Long and epic stories of rhyme. My wife with her clam elitist Morticia pose would explain at the parent teacher meetings about me. Mi querida. Yes, we are all immortal. I am not joking.

@@JRRodriguez-nu7po You have had a very interesting life by the sounds of it. I had to reread your statement "I was elected to saw the cadaver in half." A few times. 😳 Have you thought about writing a book about some of your life stories? I would purchase the first autographed copy. 📓 And I would love to hear more about ... "we are all immortal."

@@silverrabbit7854 Thank you, and if I were to write it despite documentary evidence and a plethora of witnesses it would immediately be classified as fiction. However, my life continues so "interesting" it leaves little time except for occasional net musings. My entire family is nuts, but somehow productive and we actually like each other.

Her demanding lurch make eyes at her was hilarious lol

Lurch winking at Morticia was priceless 🤣

Yes! Love the show. I have Charles Addams book on my coffee table

Best couple!

Could have worse neighbors

I'd live there id let them adopted me 😈

Every woman needs to find her Gomez.He is the best husband and companion ever!!

I always answer my phone with 'You rang?'.

“You’re sloppy and inefficient.”

bloemundude & he was a very intelligent & intellectual man who wrote & produced many series && a few films😉

He was! I don't think he ever got the admiration and respect he deserved in his lifetime.

Carolyn Jones

She was a huge Hollywood star in her day, very beautiful!!

Check out Carolyn Jones in the 1953 thriller "House of Wax" with Vincent Price. It's a fun retro flick set in the early 1900's, that was made for the 3D fad of the time. She looks so pretty in it, and has a teensy little waist that you see when her friend laces up her corset.

@@eduardo_corrochio You got that right! She's gorgeous in that movie!

So sad that she died young @ 53 from colon cancer :/

Ted Cassidy had such a presence about him. Yes,he was VERY handsome,but there was just something else about him. He carried himself better then much smaller men. He had charisma,charm.

Lurch is Ted Cassidy. Ted Cassidy made Lurch

Absolutely true 👏

I'm Sean Cassidy, Ted's son. I am so happy to read all the kind comments.

Jc, Lurch could Lurch with the best of them!

Yeah, which ones died again?

Good, nobody should to live so long, it's a torture.

John Astin and Lisa Loring, who played Gomez and Wednesday Addams, respectively, are the only surviving cast members of the original series.

@Estrella That would be Raul Juliá, who played Gomez in the two live-action movies. He passed away in 1994, shortly before the release of the Street Fighter movie where he played M. Bison. John Astin was the first actor to portray Gomez, and he's still alive and well.

@Estrella morticia died of cancer years ago. Pugsly died a few years ago. All are dead but Wednesday and Gomez from the tv series

I love this show! So beautifully written and with a talented cast!!!

He was also 6'1" by then

Christopher Zapata What on earth were they feeding that boy?

I like him when he played the android Ruk in the Star Trek TOS episode “What are Little Girls Made Of”

Thank GOD.

billfinger : that’s a comment that I have thought of when I see him. I figured that his mom would be short and oh-so-much less overpowering than him.

i know right its so cute

Can she wear dat twenty four seven

Matthew Fogarty please no

I honestly didn't like that outfit. She looks better in her normal one.

🥵 she would be 70 years older than me tho

“Its his most outstanding characteristic” 🚬

I wish we had shows like this and Warner bro cartoons to teach us values and music. No wonder things have gone downhill. What has the modern times brought? 2 broke girls? Excuse me!

Very Good?? eccch.. I found the remake totally cringeworthy, lacking all subtlety, and the Uncle Fester character was a real barfbucket. They should’ve all been boiled in South Tasmanian oil, to use a Gomez line.

So true!!

Nothing like the original .

Fredriik Forkbeard are you talking about the live action or animated?

Problem is that not all people would appreciate it. But well. Their loss

unfortunately we'll never have wholesome comedies like this anymore just like there'll never be good pop music anymore

No other character couples displayed such love for each other. John Astin's Gomez made you believe how much he loved Carolyn Jones Character of Morticia and had you laughing at the same time. Only Raul Julia and Angelica Houston have been able to get right so far. Really miss Raul Julia. What a rare actor he was. But I think the original Gomez John Astin is still alive.

agreed + the same goes for Julie Newmar being the best Catwoman

Agree

Best all around Addams cast. No offense to others. This is the one that worked best, together.

Absolutely

Beautiful too.

I highly recommend you watch Carolyn Jones Morticia and more. A great biography special on her and her career. She loved doing the character and the show because it was so much fun and unlike many other shows at the time with its very weird, witty macabre humor.

Her sister was also an actress, Jennifer Jones. She was a successful film actress as well as being very pretty. But overall I prefer Carolyn's warmth and humor.

One of the things I enjoy about this show is how much the actors/actresses put into their roles. I think everyone portraying a member of the family had fun performing here.

@@galebailey5583 interesting that most of these comments are females and about Morticia. She really was a cultural icon of her time, I wonder if she received the accolades from that or did it take years of retrospect to find out

Who wouldnt?

he died so young (aged 46) too.

and I think this works better for comedy too.

For me since I only ever watched a few re-runs of the animation and "The Addams Family" and "The Addams Family Values" This being the first time I actually watched this version. I'd say "The Addams Family" and "The Addams Family Values" weren't terrible. Though considering I'm 22 I have a soft spot for the older movies.

Javier Whitefield I’m 20, so I also grew up with the movies. I liked them until I watched this show. 😂

Victorianism extant in the sixties.

The same thing for Ted Cassidy and Jackie Coogan as the original Lurch and Uncle Fester.... As Morticia and Gomez I must admit that I liked a lot Anjelica Huston and Raúl Julia, but still I rather Carolyn Jones and John Astin every day.

The whole television cast outshines the movie's questionable ensemble .

I love the show, and the movies. I don't like the 90's cartoon, but I do love the comics.

The Charles Addams comics and the original show are just timeless. I feel like as the 90s movies age more, they show less polish.

Out of all the pinball games, I always prefer The Addams Family one.

the 90's movies has better casting and chemistry. I do feel like the show offer more possibilities for the characters tho.

Relationship goals, right?

I had the same thought just a moment ago :) I dare to say that even as a fictional couple, they are wonderful role models. Their ego's are outrageously playful but they never cross the line by using hurtful, condescending words or expecting others to make amends. Passionate and nurturing, indeed the best relationship goals.

That was the iconic line of the episode for me

she was more neck in this than when she was Walton matriarch in hills of Virginia

My favorite part of hers was on the Andy Griffith show.

Thank you. The credits buzzed by too fast for me.
