The Addams Family was a live-action series based on the newspaper cartoons of Charles Addams.

Generally funnier than the more child-friendly The Munsters, it gained new fans after two highly successful movies in the early 1990s which featured a completely different cast.

The New Addams Family — the TV remake recorded later in the decade — is best avoided...

Just you average home-loving family...

Meet the Addams Family. There's Morticia, who snips the blossoms off roses. There's Gomez, whose idea of a warm handshake is a good sword fight. Then there are Pugsley and Wednesday, their two delightful children. Pugsley collects road signs — like BRIDGE OUT, and Wednesday's favorite toy is a headless doll! Last but not least is Thing, the Addamses' beloved pet hand, who is always willing to lend it when two aren't enough.

Now the long-lost Uncle Fester is back lock, stock and burglar tools. He looks like Uncle Fester. He sounds like Uncle Fester. But is he Uncle Fester?
