@iorioriorio Oh o.k. theres John Astin...great seein them, but this set is not as good, no cobwebs, not gothic......comes off as a cheap 70's sitcom....original: much kooler
I love Uncle Fester in this, he was SO funny! I loved it at the end of the story 'hey wait a minute! You forgot to say 'and they lived happily ever after'!'
@carolynsdreamer Me too, I thought that was hilarious. That Poncho guy bugs the hell out of me. I notice how Carolyn is always affectionate and loving with John, but with Poncho, she seems so cool and reserved. I love the cruelty in her voice when she delivers that line--sort of like she's saying, "You can look all you want but John's the only one I love."
@carolynsdreamer She did have something for him...they both fell for each other. John mentioned that before she died he met with her one last time and they told each other everything they'd held in all those years. :) Yes, she's great, isn't she? Such a shame that she created this iconic role but almost no one seems to know who she is. :(
I love the old Addams Family most. It just had it's own caracter and nothing else can come up to it. But nice to see all the nice actors and actresses again!♥
You can't do better than the original cast but I have to say wednesday really wasn't that entertaining until a young Christina Rici played her in the first movie 15 years after this.
@cromwellian13: Actually, the original 60's sitcom--from which this special was derived--and the first Hanna-Barbera cartoon in the 1970's were more truthful to the Addams' charm in the comics made by Charles for the New Yorker magazine. I mean, sure the movies of the 90's gave the family a gothic makeover, but in truth, despite the "horror" motif, being completely dark was not what the Addams were about. They were just a weirdly eccentric family living life as they saw fit, plain and simple.
@TherealRNO No, actually the family in the original comics were just plain evil. You can see that in the strips where they pour boiling oil on some carolers, and one where Fester waves a car behind him forward - into the path of an oncoming truck. They were not just eccentric, they were malevolent.
@MnesomnesTears: No. Sure, they did that kind of stuff for fun, but they never were evil. They just lived their lives their own way, often seeing others as "abnormal" when compared to their own lifestyle.
@TherealRNO Don't you think the fact that they murdered people just for fun makes them even more horrible?
I know I'm taking the strip very seriously, but if they were real people, pouring boiling oil on carolers and rolling boulders onto cars wouldn't be tolerated for a minute. Truthfully, in the movies the Addams Family was STILL a lot lighter and softer than their comic strip counterparts. And they were having fun too.
@MnesomnesTears: Here's the thing...despite all of that, Charles Addams never once wrote the creepy family as being truly morbid. His humor was dark and different, sure, but it wasn't evil. Remember that the comics had to have had some impact, since without them, the sitcoms, cartoons, movies, and stage musical wouldn't exist.
What do u mean? Do u mean that Mortivia, Gomez, Lurch, and fester look the same but the other kids don't? Well that's because first Lisa(Wednesday) and Ken(Pugsley) are a lot older. And that there r two different sets if Wednesday and Pugsley: Wedneday Senior and Pugsley Senior, and then there is Wedneday and Pugsley Junior.
Hey...the original actors from the intro when the family was brushing each other's hair looks different than the kids in this clip...what's up wit that?
Is Part 1 uploaded ? I didnt see it...thanks for posting this...I've never seen it. I was born in 1980 so I wasnt around in '77 for this. It's great to see them in color! The house isnt "scary" looking though, Pugsley is grown and - not fat! Wednesday is all grown up...Morticia looks great but she was much much older here so I wonder how they did it..she died of cancer in 83 - 6 years after this!
@AmericanEvita Actually, Carolyn Jones (Morticia) was only 48 here, so she wasn't old by any means. She does still look very sexy though; she was beautiful until the end.
I know how you feel...I would give almost anything to meet her, and it saddens me to know I never will. She seemed like such a wonderful woman. At least John Astin is still alive, if I ever get to meet him (doubtful, but oh well) I'd love to ask him about her. He seems like a great man.
Since when does Gomez need to take the bus? He has enough money to have his own private jet, I like this movie because all the old cast is in it, but there are some glaring problems with the writing.
Thumbs up if you know about Cousin Shy.
