"Why have children just to get rid of them." That is a comment from a parent who gets what being a parent is really all about.

So many sitcoms were based on the premise that the husband character dislikes his wife/kids or at least barely tolerates them. I always enjoyed how devoted Gomez was to his children and loving he was to his wife.

Can't believe this is more wholesome then most modern sitcoms...lol.

Also love how pugsley and Wednesday don’t mind about their parents open display of affection for each other ❤

"Morticia you can't send the children to school, I'll be lost without them!" Gomez is best dad

Get a guy who looks at you like how Gomez looks at Morticia. Gomez is sweet, fun, and charming. Morticia is graceful and kind. I love their relationship.

Gomez is a great example of what a father should be.

Seeing the addams here and then in wednesday, i don't get why they are made so evil and scary in the new versions when these people are literally the sweetest people you'd ever meet. Sure they like dark stuff but they still treat thier guests with kindness

“What is there for a 6 year old to read?” “Well, one day she’ll be 26!” “See ya then!” God I love this family

The Adams are the most polite family in America.

R.I.P. Lisa Loring...we will forever have Wednesday 🙏💜

This show emphasizes how looks can be deceiving. Families that seem so functional to the outside world tend to be the most destructive. Parents who seem “normal” to the outside world tend to neglect and abuse their children behind closed doors. The Addams parents are so loving and care about their kids regardless of them coming off “creepy”.

“Why have children just to get rid of them?!” That was a fantastic line, ❤️

I love how fast Gomez runs to find out why his daughter is so upset.

Gomez talking to that guy about the nonsense that school is made my day 😂😂😂 "Well, one day she'll be 26!" "See ya then!" 🤣

Gomez: "ridiculous! Why have children just to get rid of them?" What loving parents! 💗💗

I wish every child had a dad as loving as Gomez and a mom as loving as Morticia

2:26 "Who's that?" "That used to be a friend of my daddy's." I now really want to know more about Gomez's distinctive and sophisticated giraffe friend.

“She’s six years old!” “One day she’ll be 26!” “See ya then!” Honestly Gomez is a whole mood

I will always love how their family is meant to be creepy and weird but they’re all such nice people 😭😭 whenever someone comes into their house they make it as if they’re the weird one, yet they don’t treat them badly. I love this show so much 😭

They're not wrong, the original stories made by the Grimm Brothers were in fact really dark.

They're supposed to be creepy, yet they're really nice people. I like that.

This is an incredible pilot. The writing is excellent as the overall concept and all the characters are introduced to us in a very natural and entertaining way. I also really like the overall art direction. An instant classic for me, as I'm already re-watching it again, less than 24 hours after discovering it...

Who wouldn't want a husband like Gomez? He loves, adores, supports, respects and thinks his wife is the most beautiful woman on earth. Morticia adores her husband and they both love their children. The best family show ever.

A show from 1960s is still being watched in the 2020s. That is when you know that the directors, writers and cast did an amazing job with the show.

The Moment when you realize that the Adams are more normal than the average family today.

Thank you Charles Addams for these marvelously macabre characters. And thanks to the show's producers and the brilliant cast for bringing them all to life. May The Addams Family continue to bring delightfully demented fun for generations to come. :)

RIP Lisa Loring 1/30/2023

Morticia's the only one who can say "I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom"

Wednesday learned about the French revolution at home. She don't need no stinking school!

After 60 years. This show humour still hits hard

Its incredible, uncle Fester looks exactly the same in the new show as in the old show!

Isn't it absurd that the "strange controversial family" also has two loving partners who are deeply in love with each other and that are also wonderful parents?

How could anyone not like The Addams Family?

Even if she doesn't go to school, she is better than other kids going to school.

I love Gomez saying “Why have kids if your just gonna send them away?” It not only shows Gomez loves having his kids around, but also calls out the REAL intentions of sending your kids to school.

Love the way that Gomez and Morticia were such loving parents back then.

The irony is the Addams kids ARE even more educated that most kids their age. Wednesday is polite, kind, sweet, and charming for just being a little girl, and Pugsley is a loving little brother who can come up with some crazy inventions kids his age could only dream of doing.

"Why have children to just get rid of them" love that. Some parents need to hear that

I was 12 when The Addams Family was first broadcast (yeah, I'm that old, lol), and I was the perfect age to appreciate it. It was scary, creepy, kooky, mysterious, and whooky. Their house was a museum when people came to see-um, they really were a scre-um. I crawled on my broomstick, and I always loved to call on, the Addams Family.

“Father, it was terrible.....They killed him!” “Mr. Hilliard?” I’m dead😂

Gomez running after his little Wednesday and comforting her when she is upset, Priceless!

The funny thing is, the Addamses are super friendly and polite and not actually creepy or dangerous at all, just peculiar. I'd love to hang with them.

This show combines my two favorite things: classic horror archetypes and silly gallows humor. It's so charming.

“But there are no REAL dragons..” “What gave you that impression?” Priceless😂

If Morticia and Gomez knew what Grimm’s original fairy tales were, they’d gladly read that to Wednesday and Pugsley

Morticia Addams is always played by such beautiful women.😌🖤

Shows back then were so good and so pure. I miss that.

"If you wanted them to be happy, just let them stay home." Every students dream parents

I love Cristina Ricci’s performances and how Wednesday is written in the 90s films... but I just love this sweet Wednesday so much. In the comics she’s a normal little girl that loves her pet spider.

The way Lurch plays the piano is absolutely priceless

I honestly LOVE this version of Wednesday

i’ve always loved the way morticia crosses her arms. her hands are so confident and graceful ugh i aspire to be like her walking around so beautifully 🥺🥺

"Why have children just to get rid of them." Really speaks of Gomez and how he utterly love his family (especially his kids), he wants to spend just about every single waking hour with his two kids, learn of their interests and encourage them to do better than ever. Could even see it when Wednesday and Pugsley were getting dragged off by the teacher, Gomez almost couldn't bear the thought of his kids leaving him.

Rest in peace, Lisa Loring, we'll never forget you.

THE best family on planet Earth, and probably even beyond ;)

This is a family dynamic I like to see: A dad doting on his daughter (i.e. how he was waiting for Wednesday's hug after school & devastated when she cried) and proud of his son (i.e. boasting of Pugsly's octopus wrestling & respect towards his parents). Dad Goals 👨 ❤!

It's adorable how caring and loving Gomez is to his family. In so many shows and movies, the Dad is either dead, a deadbeat, or does absolutely nothing. It's so nice to see a father like Gomez actually care and adore is kids and wife.

Addams Family versions come and go,some better some worse, but the 60's show will always be my favourite.

"It's so nice and gloomy" October vibes 😂🎃🖤

"Why else would a grown man play with trains?" True that!

The way Gomez was comforting little Wednesday was so precious.

12:06 I love how Morticia interprets it like an acceptance letter XD

Rip Lisa Loring. You we're an icon

“Killing a poor harmless Dragon”. Like if you agree if you love dragons.

The addamses are honestly nicer pepole than some of the normal pepole they are just a little strange

*one of the most lovely family in tv history and now with the wednesday serie this is more evident*

Hard to believe that this was originally Wednesday. I miss this version. Don’t get me wrong, the new ones are ok but nothing beats the classics.

I LOVE the scene at 18:00 where Wednesday and Pugsley run to Morticia in her chair, and she takes Wednesday on her lap and calls her "angel." Very sweet.

"What is there for a six-year-old to read?" "But, someday she'll be twenty-six!" "See you then." I love Gomez! XD

RIP Lisa Loring. Thank you for being our Wednesday Addams 🖤🖤

My favorite show. We could learn a lot from the Addams Family.

A loving father/husband, a loving mother/wife, two well-mannered kids that respect their parents/elders, and a family of good hearted people. And these guys are considered “strange.” Pretty sad when you think about it.

The addams are such good parents. A perfect representation of what a parent should be.

This episode is hilarious! I love the scene with with Miss Comstock agreeing with Morticia and Gomez about Mr. Hilliard! 😂

Morticia's perspective on Hansel and Gretel here, it carried over into Addams Family Values, when Morticia made the children sympathetic to the witch who was killed. I enjoy the 2019 animated version of Wednesday Addams attending school. Initially she referred to homeschooling as cage schooling. Then she got to the public school and called it a children's prison. HILARIOUS!

The delivery on "that's a closet, I'm sorry" was perfect.

I like how the man gets scared of every thing that’s in their house and Wednesday’s like wut u scared of

Study at home, a family ahead of its time

This was such an oniric, awesome ode to tolerance, freedom, respect and anticonformism. ...What a lesson we take here from the old world.

Gomez was so worried about Wednesday crying and so quick to comfort her. Man, all parents should be like him.

Gomez and Morticia are such a beautiful couple. They love each other so much. They’re also amazing parents to Wednesday and Pugsley. Even in later adaptations, this doesn’t change. One of the best things about the Addams Family. No matter what interpretations of them, the 1960s series, the 1990 movies, even the recent 2019 movie, Gomez and Morticia are the best loving couple and the best loving parents.

I'm just getting into this show and love it. These older shows really are good :)

She RIP yesterday✨🕊....Rest in peace thank you for everything🕊

"They have to go to school , it's the law" Homeless people : What about us?

I like how the father is a success business man

They are such a warm loving family I wish they took the laugh track off and made it into an education video of how families should be Kind and lovingly to one another

Poor little Wednesday she seemed so upset over the dragon death

I like how the old shows like this didn’t leave you hanging on a question at the end. Fox would’ve not had that last part.

I could only wish there was parents like this nowadays , so well rounded! I was raised with this series

The Addams are really a wholesome family

"If we wanted them to be happy, we'd have let them stay home." IDK, that line broke my heart for Gomez a little bit. I think part of why he doesn't want the kids away from him is because he can't protect them from being socially outcast or discriminated against by the outside world. Because the Addamses are incredibly sweet and open hearted and generous, but they know the world outside hasn't always been kind to them in return.

3:14 Literally the most gorgeous woman ever to exist. She radiates sensual danger and mystery.

Can we just talk about how beautiful Morticia is? Like every time I look at her, I just go wow

Its from the 1960s but its still one of the best shows.

Unironically the happiest TV household of all time!

“There is nothing more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.” - The Odyssey, Homer

I love 60s TV series. Those have very short episodes but are able to tell a 1,5 hours of storyline in only 24 minutes. You don't get bored but also not get addicted to the whole series and have a need to watch a whole season in a day. Of course, as a 21st century person it is a different feeling to watch something shot 58 years ago, but little facts in this series are so satisfying to watch. The Addams Family is controversial and extraordinary in a creepy way, but mostly because the mother figure is more decicive and in charge of the control of her family, the father is very lovely and caring of his children, fulfilling the expectations of a 60s society when it comes to motherhood. The partners are so in love with each other and in a very healthy relationship. The children are also way more intelligent than their coevals and treated equally by their parents. Differences are understood and accepted by each family member and I feel like this show is quite much educating for the families who used to watch it on TV at its time.

15:27 Honestly isn't this like the first time a non-Addams just immediately fits into the family?

i love that gomez respects his wife's decision and loves his children.
