They were so successful that they also made it possible for two seasons of a 1992 animated Addams family series with Gomez’s voice over performed by the original actor John Astin.
19 saw a revival of the characters in 2 academy award nominated films, The Addams Family and Addams Family Values starring Raul Julia and Angelica Huston which captured an even more morbid version of this family. It may be the macabre nature of the show, but this newer color version didn’t quite have the same magic as the 60s version, but it was nice to see the original Gomez and Morticia back together again played by John Astin and Carolyn Jones. Most of the cast however got back together for the 1977 reunion halloween movie. Unfortunately it only lasted two seasons, but did have a brief 1 season of an animated series in 1973 by Hanna Barbera maintaining Ted Cassidy as Lurch. A lot of immigrant kids like myself felt a kinship with this show because maybe we were the weird family on the street surrounded by “normal Americans.” Anyone can see when this show premiered that the characters were fresh, hilarious and interesting. The Addams family television show aired from 1964 to 1966 for a total of 64 episodes about a morbid family scaring their neighbors with characters like Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Grandmama, Pugsley and Wednesday. We all remember that tune from hollywood composer Vic Mizzy:
