The Addams Family, which aired on September 18th, 1964, was a television sitcom that was wildly different from any television show anyone had ever seen before. Sadly, it only ran for two seasons before ABC canceled it, but that short amount of time was enough to seal the show into popular culture for years to come. The TV show was a hit from the moment it aired, and people continue to reference it even today. After the original show ended in 1966, it would go on to inspire several reboots of the series, as well as multiple movies, and even a musical!
The Addams Family was based on a cartoon of the same name, which was created by a man named Charles Addams. He first created the cartoon in 1938, and it was a bit darker and scarier than the TV show it inspired. However, despite some creative differences between the two pieces of media, they still went hand in hand.
The Addams Family had some of the most charming characters of any sitcom. From morose Wednesday to strong and silent Lurch, every zany character on the show was sure to garner a laugh. The characters were well-written, and the actors who played them had fun stretching their skills and finding fresh ways to portray the lovable characters.
Even today, people still enjoy reruns of the iconic television show. It doesn’t have to be Halloween to enjoy this spooky and kooky show. It was an ingenious spin on typical sitcoms at the time, which usually revolved around average families. The members of the Addams family may have viewed themselves as normal, but to the viewers, they were anything but!
