Did my usual Friday night girls thing, then Sat it was nails and a little shopping for the Dragon’s Lair which will hopefully be up and selling on line by April to May. Nasty storm in afternoon so we took a break for an Italian lunch and then I picked up a new phone, my old one hasn’t done well since it went swimming. Sunday I read and played on computer BORING.

I’m still stuck in the 60’s and today we’re doing another Iconic ’64 TV show: OK I gave you a hint in the title….Guess….time’s up.

The Addams Family was originally a cartoon series in the New Yorker. The sitcom Featured a bizarre set of characters (who would later be featured in a Broadway musical and movies. They also reappeared on TV in an animated series).

“The 30-minute series was shot in black-and-white and aired for two seasons on ABC from 1964, to 1966, for a total of 64 episodes…
… Family includes Gomez Addams (John Astin) his refined wife… Morticia…(Carolyn Jones),” along with two children, relatives and servants. “The Addamses are a satirical inversion of the ideal American family; an eccentric, wealthy clan who delight in the macabre and are unaware…that people find them bizarre or frightening…Much of the humor derives from their culture clash with the rest of the world. They …treat normal visitors with great warmth and courtesy, even though their guests often have evil intentions. They are puzzled by the horrified reactions to their…good-natured and normal behavior since they are under the impression that their tastes are shared by most of society.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Addams_Family_(TV_series)
