Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

OllieSuave-007 This is one of those oldies black and white TV shows that I used to watch when I was younger - a fun, whimsical series about the misadventures of an odd, grim and macabre loving but friendly family.From the toe-tapping theme song to the family's creepy house, this is a series that shows even horror and ghoulish elements can be something to laugh and have fun with. Each character gives off his/her own brand of uniqueness and charm, like Gomez's clearing his throat with a sword to Morticia letting off steam as her way of smoking, and from Uncle Fester's lying in a bed of nails to Lurch's towerly presence.A fun classic show that is great for the whole family.Grade B+

RNMorton I don't get it. I was a kid of about 10 or so when this was being shown. There was a lot of junk on TV even then with just 3 channels - nothing like the tons of junk on now - but stuff well below the quality of this show. Case in point, the pretty mindless Munsters, which lasted longer than this show. Astin as Gomez, Carolyn as Morticia, Coogan as Fester, I could go on and on about TV's most unusual family and their orchestrated toy train wrecks, odd meals and even odder household pets. So why did it all end so quickly? Were the jokes too sophisticated for the viewers? I don't know, but I know we watched it to the bitter end of its run and well into syndication. This is being shown on This TV locally so keep an eye out for it, one of the top 10 television gems of the 60's.

Morbius Fitzgerald The Addams Family is a TV show from the 1960's which was, in general, a satire on society as most people knew it featuring a rich family with strange characteristics and the way they get by in everyday life. Does it still hold up? Surprisingly it does and quite well as a matter of fact.Okay I'm not usually a fan of sitcoms because in general they only have one joke (for example, in Big Bang Theory, the joke is that they're geeky) this show is no exception. The main joke is that they are strange. The reason this works is that you can go anywhere with this joke. They can sell their items at an auction and they're sold for 35 cents, a kid from the family becomes a stereotype and they call for a psychiatrist. These jokes still hold up and they are genuinely funny.One thing that I genuinely like about this show is that with these strange oddities, the Addams Family are happy with it and act like its normal. Picnics at graveyards, a hand that serves them called "Thing", not once did they question whether this was strange. I love that they are so used to all the strangeness that they never once question it.The acting is rather well done, especially for the time. The kids are probably the weakest actors and they deliver their performances okay enough. The best one, strangely, is Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams. She manages to have amazing screen presence, even when in the company of two male actors (John Astin and Jackie Coogan) who chew the scenery.So if you want a sitcom with a satire and a surprising way to keep people entertained, nearly 50 years after it first aired, then I hold this show up with high recommendation.

SanteeFats I watched this series when it first came out, yeah I know, I am that old. I find this series funny, funny, funny. I actually own the entire series and break it out now and then to watch again. Wednesday is always trying to put Pugsley in some kind of killing situation and loves to Marie Antoinette her dolls(chop of their heads)!! Gomez is always turned on whenever Morticia speaks French. They are extremely wealthy but most of the time you have no idea where the money comes as Gomez is constantly making bad choices. I like cousin Itt, Granmama, and Uncle Festus. They make a great support cast. The different relatives that pop in or visit from time to time are also funny. When the outside world becomes involved it can ramp up the humor.
