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.
