Creator: Charles Addams
Starring: John Astin, Carolyn Jones, Ted Cassidy, Jackie Coogan, Ken Weatherwax, Lisa Loring and Marie Blake
The misadventures of a blissfully macabre family. The Addams Family is not your typical family: they take delight in most of the things that "normal" people would be terrified of. Gomez Adams is an extremely wealthy man, and is able to indulge his wife Morticia's every desire: be it cultivation of poisonous plants, or a candlelit dinner in a graveyard. People visiting the Addams Family just don't seem to appreciate the 7 foot tall butler "Lurch" or the helping hand (which is just a disembodied hand named "Thing").
