DVD Reviews of The Addams Family - Volume 2

DVD Review: Wonderfully Wierd
Summary: 5 Stars

As the first season ends and the second begins, we are given some of the best episodes of this beloved series. My personal favorite is the show's only two-part episode featuring how Gomez and Morticia fell in love. Carolyn Jones does a superb job of pulling off a double roll, playing Morticia's blonde lovelorn twin sister Ophelia. One of my favorite parts in the story is when Gomez non-chalantly tells Morticia that to end all of his problems is "shoot myself" and Morticia response? "Sounds sensible. I'll join you." Classic! And a classic guest spot by Margaret Hamilton (the Wicked Witch of the West). The audio commentary and tombstone trivia are very informative to certain aspects of the series. The documentary is also informative and is great to know how much the Addams Family meant to people. It was great to learn the psychiatrists who reviewed the show found it the most "normal" show on television.

DVD Review: Addams Family Vol 2
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a killer set. If you like the Addams Family you can't beat the 2nd Season.


DVD Review: classic TV
Summary: 5 Stars

I grew up watching these shows. Own every season and now my children watch them too. Good classic tv without all the sex and violence. Perfect.

DVD Review: Well done fun
Summary: 5 Stars

I've ordered the set in a spur of nostalgia and am very glad I did... The show is funny, witty, and at the same time sweet in the innocent lack of true malice--something that is very missing in today's TV shows that are so chok-ful-of terror, horror, and human evil cunning. I still enjoy seeing current TV, but the nicely done set of these older TV shows, with the hilarious and endearing (yes, even with all the stuffed ickies in their house...) cast of characters. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Description of The Addams Family - Volume 2

They're baaaack! The Addams Family, TV's most frightfully funny family returns for more creepy capers and hair-raising hilarity, terrifying their neighbors and delighting viewers like never before! The Addams Family Volume 2 features the ghoulish gang in
Based on the original Goth cartoons by Charles "Chas" Addams that ran for decades in the New Yorker magazine, The Addams Family television sitcom portrayed a monster family whose moribund physical appearances were counteracted by each family member's exuberance for passion and adventure. This Volume Two DVD contains twenty-one episodes, including the last of season one and the whole of season two, plus commentaries, and a featurette about the cinematic impact The Addams Family had on American television culture. Premiering the same year as The Munsters, this short-lived series was one of the first two shows to take issue with the Leave It To Beaver aesthetic that dominated television throughout the 50s, in which perfect families narrowly defined normality in the American home. Instead, it starred a family feared by neighbors, who within the boundaries of their haunted Victorian mansion invented their own thriving, not to mention fun, culture. The Addams Family proved that outsiders could be extremely gracious, educated, and interesting, even if eccentricities rendered their looks a threat.

These episodes include the original cast: Gomez (John Astin) and Morticia (Carolyn Jones), Uncle Fester (Jackie Coogan), the two children Wednesday and Pugley, butler Lurch, hairy Cousin Itt, and the enigmatic hand, Thing, who plays castanets for the married couples' cha cha parties, and looks up things in phone books. Macabre humor in each episode reverses average, expected logic. Flower arranging, for Morticia, involves de-budding and stripping roses of all but the thorns. In "Morticia, The Sculptress," Gomez bribes a local art dealer to buy Morticia's hideous art at the Addams Family's own expense, revealing Gomez to be a strange but loving husband. In most episodes, such as "Lurch, The Teenage Idol" and "Cousin Itt and the Vocational Counselor," The Addams' aim to help their loved ones succeed, in these cases Lurch, as a harpsichord-playing pop star, and Itt, on a career search for an unintelligible, hair-covered little person. The Addams Family house interior still looks exquisite forty years later, full of taxidermied animals, antique furniture, carnivorous plants, and medieval charm. One watches this show not only for its sets and costumes, but also for its refreshingly wide take on what successful families can look like. --Trinie Dalton
