Customer Reviews of Addams Family, Vol. 3
They Really Are a Screa-um! "The Addams Family" is a great treat to watch on video. The family famous is back with all it's glory on these videos. This is one of the few ways to see the show these days since TV Land dropped it in 1998. Though it was taped in SLP form, there wasn't much difference, partly because SP and SLP/EP modes record mostly in the same condition if it's in B&W. Now, for the episodes them selves:
"The Addams Family Tree"
Pugsley and Wednesday insulted at a neighbors party for their strangness, and according to the neighbors, 'they have no class'. The Addams quickly get a geniologist to find out their history, and find out some interesting things about themselves and their neighbor. Grandmama (BLOSSOM ROCK) does not appear in this episode, which is quite strange, since she probably knows the most about their history.
"Gomez, The Polotician"
Election fever grips the household. Gomez backs a man who is for the draining of swamps. The Addams are famous for backing many losers during campaigns ("Lincoln backed for our help. But we went for old Douglas!" says Gomez). The Addams go to extremes, and Uncle Fester even makes himself lightup. In the end, their canidate joins the traditions of Dewy, Douglas, and others, and becomes a loser.
All in all, these were great episodes!
Pretty good
These two shows were both pretty good, though not my favorites. I enjoyed the return of Mr. Hilliard, the emergence of Kitty Kat (their pet lion), and the way the Addams family terrified one or two people who rather deserved it. Some good parts: Wednesday and Pugsley's scuffle with an obnoxious boy (in which they get the better of him); Morticia and Gomez's swordplay; the feeding of the piranhas; and Morticia's beloved plants strangling each other. I also loved it when Gomez told Morticia not to worry that Hilliard would drain the swamps -- all politicians do exactly the opposite of their campaign promises!
The old Addams family show doesn't have the gloss and style of the movies and cartoons, but it's charming and funny. The laugh track, though, is unnecessary and too loud.
