![]() ![]() In high school, I found some episodes of the 1960s sitcom and watched those too. I have vague memories of a direct-to-video movie where Tim Curry plays Gomez. I regularly watched the 1992 animated series in syndication, as well as the 1998 live-action “New Addams Family” series that committed the egregious crime of changing the iconic theme song. Though these movies are the entries into the “Addams Family” canon I am most familiar with, I actually grew up watching this creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky family on TV. The mom and dad are constantly getting into stupid misunderstandings, can sometimes barely tolerate each other, and ugh, in-laws, amirite? The Addams family does away with all of this, not just in the early 90’s classics The Addams Family and Addams Family Values but in the franchise as a whole. ![]() The children want nothing to do with their embarrassing parents. The parents just don’t understand their children. Most family fare that I was used to watching as a child had a few fairly predictable tropes. ![]()
