Based on cartoon characters created by Charles Addams for "The New Yorker" magazine, this series introduces us to "The Addams Family," with father Gomez, mother Morticia, their children Pugsley and Wednesday, and an extended macabre family that includes zany Uncle Fester, witchy Grandmama, hairy Cousin It, their creepy butler Lurch, and a disembodied hand named "Thing."
