"They're creepy and they're spooky...and they're back! The New Addams Family is an updated version of the popular mid-sixties series about a decidedly off-beat family who reside in an eerie mansion. In the series, the ghoulish characters are pitted against the mundane world - the school board, the truant officer and the mailman. To themselves, they are a normal family, but to others they are most frightening."

The Munsters (pilot episode)
The New Munsters (which is no longer on tv) really sucks despite Lee Meriwether as Lilly (she also played Catwoman in the 1966 Batman movie). The New Addams Family (on the FAM channel) is apparently using the original 1960s scripts, and even had John Astin in one ep as Grandpa Addams. New Munsters pilot episode (1988)
After an I Dream Of Jeannie Barbie (with miniature bottle), Wonder Woman Barbie and the recent release of Ken and Barbie as Gomez and Morticia Addams from the 1960s tv series, the new release for August, 2001, is Herman & Lily Munster for $79.99 at a toy or gift shop near you (or try eToys if they haven't been taken over by kbkids.com by now). TV Guide says it "captures the Transylvanian Ozzie and Harriet down to the bolts in his neck and the golden, bat-shaped choker around hers." No comment from Grampa Munster, last seen sulking in the basement and looking for a hex spell to put on the Barbie Collectibles line (don't laugh, he knows the guy who put the hoodoo on the Edsel in one episode).
"It's much better than most of the other ones I've seen," says Yvonne DeCarlo, 78, who played Lily in the 1964-66 series now seen on TV Land, "but the bat is wrong. It should be silver." Next up will be a Barbie Samantha Stephens from Bewitched for $39.99 - Ken couldn't decide between Dick York and Dick Sargent, so there's no Darren counterpart doll. And the senior product manager for Barbie Collectibles says they haven't run out of female icons for Barbie yet

Fun fact:
At age 8, little Charles Addams was caught trespassing in an old Victorian house in his neighborhood. It would later serve as the model for the Addams Family house. He also liked to visit the local cemetery and "try to imagine what the people in the graves looked like." An early job for a detective magazine involved airbrushing corpse photos to make them less gruesome for publication. During the 1960s, he was forbidden by his editor at the New Yorker Magazine from doing any cartoons about the Addams Family (since it was on TV and then reruns), death, or spaceships(?). He outlasted that Editor and the next one allowed the Addams Family to return. Fans sent him all sorts of Addams-related things over the years, and he once joked that he could use the crossbow from one if his apartment were ever invaded.
Al Lewis obit (2006)
Although President John Quincy Adams only spelled his name with one "d" he did have a pet alligator in the White House, a gift from the Marquis de Lafayette, and Mrs. Adams raised silkworms to make silk gowns out of.
It seems as though every time I turn around, well, I get dizzy...But when it starts to get me down I remember the story about the tortoise and his hair. If I recall, the tortoise had hair that grew very quickly. For some reason this was a problem. The Tortoise eventually triumphed by beating his hair with his flipper. Now you might say that tortoises (torti to be proper) do not have flippers. But if that's true, how could they fly?" Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert
