Storyline

The Addams Family is not your typical family: they take delight in most of the things that "normal" people would be terrified of. Gomez Adams is an extremely wealthy man, and is able to indulge his wife Morticia's every desire: be it cultivation of poisonous plants, or a candlelit dinner in a graveyard. People visiting the Addams Family just don't seem to appreciate the 7 foot tall butler "Lurch" or the helping hand (which is just a disembodied hand" named "Thing".

Great Cartoon!!!

This is an animated version of THE ADDAMS FAMILY television series. This is one of the most entertaining cartoons I have ever seen in my entire life. It's pretty nicely animated for a cartoon from the 1970's. It's strange and hilarious just like the live-action THE ADDAMS FAMILY television series. Kids will love it, but adults may enjoy the live action THE ADDAMS FAMILY television show more.
