The Addams Family - Original 1964 Theme!

[kamatemateLIVE]

duh duh duh

[iflarnted]

Loved both Addams Family and the Munsters. They each had their own appeal. Intro for Addams thought up by theme's composer Vic Mizzy, that's him singing the lyrics. Vic made a fortune off of that theme. R.I.P. Vic, love all your work.

[SoulfulSuperficial]

They keep testing it. They keep paying people off... It must be safe....

[YesWeCantaloupe]

Addams Family = original, creepy, and funny.

Musters = unoriginal, gay, thought up by a 7th grader.

[menslady125]

They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky...but we love the Addams family anyway!

[benderfry100]

How do you have this? They didn't have tapes in 1964!

[TheRocketExectutives]

ahhh crest!!!

[sammygrewe]

@TheRocketExectutives "Crest has been shown to be an effective, decay-preventive dentrifice,that can be of significant value, when used in a concientiously applied program of oral hygiene and regular dental care"...put THAT in your pipe, and smoke it!!!

[rogerstill71]

??? Wha's goin' on with the postings here?

[rogerstill71]

I always thought Carolyn Jones was a real babe, and Lurch always made me larf...

[Kagereneko]

Morticia's evil grin at 0:11... SO HOT; I also love John Astin's psycho smile...

[funkyfreya]

lol



[Emmamiley100]

OMG"! CRETS !

[purseonal2010]

I still think that The Addams Family and The Munsters shoulda merged into one tv show, just for once. It would be quite a great thing!

[r2c123]

@purseonal2010 idk i love the admas but i haunt seen munster is it good?

[TheColorofThesa]

Yessss. ;)

[QCumber1337]

Fluoride for everyone!

[MrBuch169169]

Well then if it's so good, how come it took 12 years to make sure?

[canneguenther]

Thumbs Up If you came here because you saw the Google Banner for The Adam's 100th birthday!

[lelopez86]

Over 12 years of testing!

[giuseppedisantomonte]

[Swackers90]

[peaceloveolivia100]

Screw the frikin Munsters! The Addas Family is te only tv show i watch. THE ONLY ONE. bac off munsters!

[stargazerr2012]

grandmama was a hot babe....lol

just kidding.

[VelvetCyberpunk]

I learned to snap my fingers just so I could snap along to this theme.

[gigaslave]

That explains why the Addamses have such good smiles, especially Gomez.

[kamenfp66]

great

[FuryInViolet]

Waah I'm only 20 years old but I still remeber this! :D

[angie131310]

yup the world has changed A LOT

[Draculauraforeva]

My dad always taught me:

The Addams family started

When Grandpa Addams farted

They all came out retarded

The Addams family!

Don't take it the wrong way...I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!

[TheAmericanEvita]

Personally I love both Addams and Munsters; grew up watching both shows in rerun form in the 80's and 90's on retro theme channels. I also watched a lot of Gilligan's Island I love Lucy I Dream of Jeannie Get Smart...back when TV was worth watching now it's garbage Happy Halloween

[winterjargon]

"The teat!"

[winterjargon]

"They're altogether 'OOky'..."

[jokermaniacJS]

The Munsters and The Addams Family are returning on Boomerang at 7:00 everynight.

[Ultimatem26]

crest toothpaste hasnt changed much over the years

[pbanta62]

I always preferred "Addams Family" to "The Munsters" because The Addams' were "creepy--with style!"

[MsMrReason]

@pbanta62  To me the Addams family were too rich, judgmental and severe. The Munsters were fun and down to earth and slightly unsophisticated - so I preferred them.

[ryoushii]

@MsMrReason Sorry, the Addams Family ruled, the Munsters were just a typical 60's family sitcom with heavy makeup - the Addams Family WERE creepy and weird and totally surrealistic, and hence more fun and surprising.

[MsMrReason]

@ryoushii They may have been fun to you but to me they were just boring and aloof. I can't change the way I felt and still feel.

You just have to accept I did not like them

[VelvetCyberpunk]

@MsMrReason Okay so you just came here to tell their fans that you don't like them, why? I never understand that.

[MsMrReason]

@VelvetCyberpunk They are not real dear - they are just actors in a show. It should not matter one iota if I like them or not. It is juts trivial banter like Star Trek Vs Star Wars.

I was not aware that your life was so devoid of problems that something so insignificant warrants any memorable emotion.

I am not attacking the actors or their families just the show - get over yourself sweetheart - they are not a cause that needs defending. Oh Yeah long live the "Munsters". You twit

[VelvetCyberpunk]

@MsMrReason Your condescending attitude isn't needed nor wanted. The fact that you think it's cute to talk down to people and go to a page for a show you don't like to tell people who do like them that they're wrong tells me you're a troll and not worth anyone's time.

[MsMrReason]

@VelvetCyberpunk I think the attitude was very much appropriate for your asinine comment. If I was attacking the actors that would be another matter. Please don't insult your intelligence by calling me a troll. I obviously watch the Addams Family and probably know more about the show than you.

I made a valid comparison so you need to get your head out your ass and lighten up - not everything has to be a playground battle. You silly wench.

And I still prefer the Munsters - so there!

[gomezaddams42]

@MsMrReason How do you prefer the munsters? The Addams Family is much better!

[MsMrReason]

@gomezaddams42  Funnier !

[MsMrReason]

@gomezaddams42 The Munsters was more slapstick and I liked the repeated visual gag of people being frightened by their appearance, The Addams just looked like eccentrics - the Munsters werereally monsters. I have nothing against the Addams family I just thought the Munsters had more gags.

[artemishunter1999]

huzzah for crest toothpaste!

[Billybob1715]

ah 60s advertisement at its best

[Paganguy1]

"The Addams Family" is the original "goth" archetype. And it was invented when I was born... I have been a goth since before there was a name for it... Although, I always loved vampires as well.. I do not know when the schism happened between goths and vampires...both are part of Satan's pantheon.... is my feeling.... We may as well get along... I'm jus' sayin'

[coppertweed]

munsters ftw

[homercat1000]

this theme song is great back in the 1960s especially lurch and the rest the family snap their fingers and today 2011

[SpockLover27]

@homercat1000 Which is the one that plays the piano? Is that Lurch??? I wish I knew. I love him. <3

[artemishunter1999]

@SpockLover27 yes it's lurch but I think it's a harpsichord.

[KaguraThWindGypsy]

I freaking love this show..

[maritheOChotmailcom]

one of the best shows ever,no matter how old it gets or how manny new versions there are,its still a must watch and an unforgetable classic!

[ALExXxRUSSOofAN]

haha i love this theme song, oh and wednesday is my fave addams lol.

but i always wondered which came out first the addams family or the munsters ????

[KaguraThWindGypsy]

@ALExXxRUSSOofAN It was really close.

'The Addams Family' aired from September 18, 1964 to April 8, 1966.

'The Munsters' aired from September 24, 1964 to May 12, 1966.

[kezie666666]

[BigAndTall666]

Vampires would buy Crest. :-D

[pegasigirl2010]

Carolyn Jones used to be my idol. She's just so cool.

[SSHeil123]

[DominusLuna]

[clintbronson5]

Love you ADDAMS! EASILY one of the best shows ever

Yes I love you MUNSTERS too

[MrEoin2]

Actually, it is slightly different from the one used on the pilot which at the line "when people come to see 'em" appropriately has a clip of the school official at the front door trying to use the bell pull

[dakotagerman1]

Check out the Bush-Windsor bio!

Wonder if Cousin Madonna will drop by for a visit? Maybe Aunt Sarah Palin will??

[subliteral]

Wow. I forget how beautiful Carolyn Jones was.

[clintbronson5]

@subliteral Yes she was very "GRRRRRRRR"

[Sonara33]

i love the toothpaste ending ;]

[MsTiredofit]

[xemxi142]

R.I.P. Vic Mizzy. :((

[MishLDirnt]
