The Addams Family plot

The Addams Family is a satirical version of the ideal American core family. The Addams are an eccentric wealthy family who love everything grotesque and sinister. They are completely oblivious to the fact that others find them strange or terrifying. Bizarrely, the family itself is often terrified of 'normal' people.

The Addams Family season 1

Cartoonist Charles Addams used his own family name for a series of cartoons in the New Yorker. This early sitcom made the eccentric family internationally popular. They live in a creepy house with live and stuffed predators. With their dark clothes and make-up they anticipate the Gothic style that would become a subculture a few decades later. They are infatuated with all that is morbid and lurid, and amuse themselves by causing small explosions. However, they wouldn't hurt a fly. In fact, they rebel against the hypocrisy and mockery of society.

Many episodes follow a similar pattern. An outsider comes to visit and reacts with fear and confusion. The family itself seems unaware of its own eccentricity. The most bizarre thing is "the Thing", a hand that moves independently. There are a few supernatural things involved, such as telepathy and voodoo. Morticia looks like a witch, but she has a good character. Carolyn Jones gives her something sinister and gentle at the same time. The butler Lurch, played by the giant Ted Cassidy, has a bit of Frankenstein's monster. it's a nice combination of horror and laughter.

Favorite episodes: 1, 9, 15.
