Creepy, Kooky, And Animated.

Lennie Weinrib and Janet Waldo replaced John Astin and Carolyn Jones as the voices of Gomez and Morticia, respectively. Jackie Coogan and Ted Cassidy voiced Uncle Fester and Lurch which they played in live action. Astin, Jones, Coogan, and Cassidy performed in "The New Scooby Doo Movies". Astin reprised Gomez's voice in the 1992 version of the cartoon series. Rip Taylor played Uncle Fester, Carol Channing played Grandmama, and Frank Welker played Lurch in the 1992 series.

Co-animated by the Halas-Batchelor studio in England.

Jodie Foster played Puggsley.

Janet Waldo noted that Jackie Coogan was a heavy smoker and had some problems during the voice recording with coughing fits.

The 1973 cartoon series used an original theme composed by Hoyt Curtin.
The 1992 cartoon series used the famous original Vic Mizzy-composed 1964-1966 tv series theme (Neat...Sweet...Petite...snap snap)

I had not seen the 70s Addams Family cartoon growing up. In my day CN played the 90s version on the regular. I'll save my thoughts on that one if there's a thread made on that one here. (i assume if there isn't one yet it'll come)

When this one came to DVD, it's another i originally passed on. But I decided to go back and give it a shot. The show to me seems an interesting take. You would think animated Addams would be more a HB sitcom show, which is it is except it's just nonstop on the road episodes like the Flintstones often pulled. I can't help but wonder is some of this because HB had spent so long trying to sell their own monster family in the J Evil Scientists and Gruesomes and didn't want to do a standard monster neighbor's cartoon, so went about it this way? That being said the set up here works for me. The creepy camper is cool looking and the Addams are bringing a variety of fun in their own creepy kind of way.

It's great this show utilized Ted Cassidy (who of course already was a regular HB voice actor) and Jackie Coogan. Admitedly Lennie Weinrib's Gomez was a little hard on the ears at first, but as time has gone on through repeats i'm not really bothered by it any more. A lot of the fun also comes from the scam artist bad guys too, while all usually working on the greedy side of things play off as good minor baddies. Also on a side note the script writers were digging Jonathon Livingston Seagull back then as he gets referenced in two different episodes. (fun book if those are unaware, never watched the film version of it but Warner Archive put it back in print for Paramount)

Overall i think the show goes down well. While it's got some things i think could have gone better, i'm not regretting my purchase on this one. In fact i'm a bit more happy with it then i originally thought i would be.
