Based on the original Goth cartoons by Charles "Chas" Addams that ran for decades in the New Yorker magazine, The Addams Family television sitcom portrayed a monster family whose moribund physical appearances were counteracted by each family member's exuberance for passion and adventure. This Volume Two DVD contains twenty-one episodes, including the last of season one and the whole of season two, plus commentaries, and a featurette about the cinematic impact The Addams Family had on American television culture. Premiering the same year as The Munsters, this short-lived series was one of the first two shows to take issue with the Leave It To Beaver aesthetic that dominated television throughout the 50s, in which perfect families narrowly defined normality in the American home. Instead, it starred a family feared by neighbors, who within the boundaries of their haunted Victorian mansion invented their own thriving, not to mention fun, culture. The Addams Family proved that outsiders could be extremely gracious, educated, and interesting, even if eccentricities rendered their looks a threat.
These episodes include the original cast: Gomez (John Astin) and Morticia (Carolyn Jones), Uncle Fester (Jackie Coogan), the two children Wednesday and Pugley, butler Lurch, hairy Cousin Itt, and the enigmatic hand, Thing, who plays castanets for the married couples' cha cha parties, and looks up things in phone books. Macabre humor in each episode reverses average, expected logic. Flower arranging, for Morticia, involves de-budding and stripping roses of all but the thorns. In "Morticia, The Sculptress," Gomez bribes a local art dealer to buy Morticia's hideous art at the Addams Family's own expense, revealing Gomez to be a strange but loving husband. In most episodes, such as "Lurch, The Teenage Idol" and "Cousin Itt and the Vocational Counselor," The Addams' aim to help their loved ones succeed, in these cases Lurch, as a harpsichord-playing pop star, and Itt, on a career search for an unintelligible, hair-covered little person. The Addams Family house interior still looks exquisite forty years later, full of taxidermied animals, antique furniture, carnivorous plants, and medieval charm. One watches this show not only for its sets and costumes, but also for its refreshingly wide take on what successful families can look like. --Trinie Dalton

I've ordered the set in a spur of nostalgia and am very glad I did... The show is funny, witty, and at the same time sweet in the innocent lack of true malice--something that is very missing in today's TV shows that are so chok-ful-of terror, horror, and human evil cunning. I still enjoy seeing current TV, but the nicely done set of these older TV shows, with the hilarious and endearing (yes, even with all the stuffed ickies in their house...) cast of characters. I HIGHLY recommend it.

We love to go through the Adams Family episodes! We own them all. They are great short watching (30 minute episodes), and harmless to all ages. Brings a chuckle to everyone.
They aren't "preachy" or just totally silly. Lots of fun and well done!
The episodes are way different than the movies of the same titles, but just as good (in a different way)

I have been a huge Addams fan since I was a little kid. I remember loving the Charles Addams books my grandmother had. (I was an odd child raised by some odd people)
This show is just so fantastically fun. I love that instead of portraying the Addams' as the weirdos, it pokes fun at how weird "normal" people are. And of course, I think Morticia and Gomez may have the best marriage ever portrayed on TV.
Get all three volumes.

The Addams family hijinks is back in all of its crazy glory. I still watch these with my own son who thinks this is the craziest family that he has every seen. The parents that tango, the giagantic butler, kids that blow stuff up and a uncle that is a human light bulb, what more could you want? As crazy as the characters are they display more healthy family dynamics than most modern day families. Considering that these were make when most TV parents were not affectionate, Mortica and Gomez come ... Read More
