I remember watching the black and white shows and longing for the simple joy and laughs that came from a TV era not that distance before my own. While cartoons are the clear choice for a kid, you cannot deny that these slap-stick comedies of lore are classics.
That nothing more sincere and innocent could captivate and entertain one for episode after episode year after year, pondering that same question each time...how many times have I seen this one again?....

Looks like the Munsters' neighbors don't they?
Nope, this is the
Addams family.
Make no mistake though, they seems just as serious about blending into the community as the Munsters..

Lets see if I can remember them all now, Uncle Fester, Wednesday, Gomaz, Mortitia, Pugsly, Gran-mama and Lerch.
