Where To Watch
How well do you know the very first episode of The Addams Family?
They made quite the first impression on TV in the 1960s!
When The Addams Family premiered in 1964, it kicked off an ooky onscreen legacy that continues to this day. The strange exploits of this spooky but loving family are as timeless as they are funny.
The show starts off wonderfully weird and hilarious right off the bat. The first episode is the perfect introduction to Morticia, Gomez, Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester and, of course, Thing.

African Strangler no such plant. But to my two year old mind (how old I was when it the series was) is similar to Venus Flytrap.
It always amazes me that Carolyn Jones really DID knit. (Not sure how much she did in real life...probably to kill time between filming scenes in various TV shows and movies). I can knit too but nothing fancy or complicated.

I think it was cool for them to let Carolyn keep Morticia's chair!
12 out of 13 my memory is pretty good
13 out of 13. I love The Addams Family. And don't forget that Madge Blake played Larry Mondello's mother on Leave It To Beaver. The poor kid, his mother never treated him kindly, and couldn't wait to get rid if his nameless sister.
Much better than The Munsters. I would've loved to have been on set with the lion (safely behind scenery). As long as I'm not a food source...
When I was a kid, I preferred The Munsters....when I grew up, once I found I could understand the gags better, The Addams Family reigned supreme!
I loved them both. I once tried to drink from a straw while upside down. I got choked, and I got a whipping when I trooped through the vegetable garden trying to imitate Herman Munster with his huge shoes. I got mud all over my shoes.
12/13
12/13 I watched most of the AF episodes that have aired the past few months on ME. Seems it wasn't quite as I remembered it from my younger days. The show is pretty stupid...but...it's sort of like "it's so bad it's good"...if you know what I mean.
Same score! Love the show because the jokes are fast and clever!
You got 11 out of 13
Go ahead, show off! You did great!

13. Smart girl!

Got 10 out of 13. I knew most of the answers. Episode 1 shown yesterday, so that helped. Also used recent episode of "Time Tunnel" (Marie Antoinette), just shown last week to get the answer about Wednesday's doll's head.
11/13. Missed 8 and 10.
11 for 13, could kick myself for missing 8 and 10
10/13, guessed on most, not a watcher of the Addams Family.
11/13. It makes me mad that I missed two of them because I saw the episode last night.
Mind wanderer!

6 out of 13. Eh, not bad considering I don't remember that episode at all.
You got 9 out of 13
When did Tish start speaking French and push the envelope with the censors?
6/13...😟 That's just pathetic 😜

The neat thing about the Addams Family is that still holds up so well today. The gags are classic! We're very lucky to have MeTV including this in their lineup every night!!!
