The Addams Family is an American
television series based on the characters in Charles
Addams' New Yorker cartoons. The 30-minute
series was shot in black-and-white and aired for two
seasons in 64 installments on ABC from
September 18, 1964 to
April
8, 1966. It is often compared to its
working-class rival, The Munsters, which ran
for the same two seasons and achieved somewhat
higher Nielsen Ratings.
It was originally produced by Filmways, Inc. at General Service Studios in Hollywood, California. Successor company MGM Television (via The Program Exchange for broadcast syndication, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment for home video/DVD) owns the rights to the show.
