The Addams Family (Click Click)

andertoons2 Comments

Tish-1 I’m watching the first season of The Addams Family right now from Netflix. and a few things have already struck me:

The amazing casting – Jackie Coogan’s Fester, Carolyn Jones’ still oddly sexually fascinating Morticia, and John Astin’s perfect, and I mean perfect Gomez.

Vic Mizzy’s theme is iconic of course, but the background music for the show itself… I’m gonna be humming those themes all weekend.

The set decoration – how much fun must that have been?!

Man, I’m gonna enjoy this even more than I thought.

(BTW, click on the thumbnail for a nice musical moment.)

I Love It When You Speak French!

Tom Richmond’s Batsuit blog got me thinking…

If you could dress up as one cartoon/comic character for Halloween, who would it be?

And don’t hold back – we don’t have to have the costume be practical or economical or, heck, even adhere to the laws of physics!

I’ll get things started.

I’d love to be Addams’ Gomez. Not the John Astin Gomez…

…and certainly not the Raul Julia Gomez…

but an honest to goodness Addams Gomez:

OK, everyone, now it’s your turn. Who would you want to be?

(BTW, I simply MUST get one of these t-shirts!)

The Addams Family on DVD

Addams Gomez5

According to the Unofficial Addams Family site, The Addams Family TV shows should start coming out on DVD this October.

I know The Addams Family and The Munsters both came out in 1964, but the latter always felt like a cheap knock-off to me. The Addams Family seemed a little weirder, a little more dangerous, and, as far as I was concerned, a lot funnier.

Anyway, looks like another addition to my Christmas list…
