Well, be honest it is the BSA, and that one is especially more connected with militarism, sexism, weird religions, child molestation, inadequate supervision, and considering thinking you are a large bird of prey as a good thing, than your average Scouting association, it is one thing to be a scout, but belonging a scouting association with the same initialism as a motorbike brand? The Addams Family is not that weird.

[@imogenonscreen8054]

I actually love that even with the Addams family's 'oddness' they are pretty much the ideal family.

Two sweet kids, a comfortable home with a butler and also have close and supportive extended family living with them.

[@johnhardin4358]

Envious?

[@jalapeno1119]

Well, that's kind of the point of them isn't it? Back in the 50s people were so obsessed with having a seemingly perfect family that looked good. This family spends less time thinking about how other people think of them and focus more time on actually being a good family.

[@AvengerII]

Most TV broadcasts back in the 1960s (up until 1966 when the first network, NBC, went full-color) were in B&W. Color costs quite a bit more and it made no sense to do color broadcast when at least 85% of the TV sets were B&W sets. Color sets didn't overtake B&W TV set sales until the early 1970s!

[@elastoid5459]

This is subtly one of the greater episodes. While typically the formula will involve a guest gradually learning that the Addams are creepy and kooky, they keep the situational irony with Dr. Black going throughout. Black mistakes Pugsley's preferred behaviors as unpreferred and vice-versa, but by failing what he sets out to do, actually succeeds in what the Addams family is looking to accomplish. The misunderstanding is stretched almost to breaking point, but it never results in the typical Addams trope of the visitor being horrified by the Addams family and scoffing angrily. Beautifully executed, modern comedy could take a lesson.

[@llydrsn]

[@ChestersonJack]

I think there’s an interesting parallel between this and the baby in addams’ family values. Here when presented with normalcy, it’s not only worrisome, but it’s deplorable. It means pugsley is a “problem child.” In the film, it concerns them, but they don’t see the harm in it. They’re disappointed, but they let their child be themselves. Although people love to hail the Addams’ as the pinnacle of unconditional acceptance, which they are in several portrayals, I feel their distain for the “normal” here feels a little more true to the original comic illustrations.

[@fmlazar]

The movies hark more to the original New Yorker one panel comics in which the Family was both unnamed.... and evil.

[@ChestersonJack]

@@fmlazar Yes. I was strictly speaking about their attitudes towards normalcy.

[@the-reclining-roleplayer]

Old post but I think you've got the right of it; they indulge because there really isn't anything else that can be done; they love their kids too much to tell them to stop doing what they want. It's ironic that the newest movie is the example that has Morticia showing outright intolerance to her kid's face--and that is the big difference. Here and in Values, they don't like it but they go along with it and don't brow-beat their kids. In the animated film, Morticia not only dislikes it but makes certain Wednesday knows it.

The Addams Family is so great! They're so affirming of each other regardless of the circumstances.

[@patrickfreeman8816]

I was a youngster when this show came out. It was everything I loved: Medieval torture racks, beheading dolls, the whole Gothic theme called to me. Of course, I instantly fell in love with the most beautiful woman on television (I certainly wasn't the only one). Unsurprisingly, when I began dating, I was a sucker for pale women with long midnight hair - but no one measured up and I got over that fetish. Poor Caroline's ashes share a crypt with her mothers, about 5 miles from me. About every other year or so I stop to pay my respects, and there are always cards, poems, drooping plants, black roses, and the obligatory clipped and upended rose stalks. Makes me smile that so many still care for our coal black-hair beauty.

[@cynthiaahern9081]

[@manikdreamer4103]

Well, I actually was infatuated with Wednsday, and as the character matured, I fell in love with her. Morticia was always like a mother figure to me. .Then I got older, .and I fell in love with Morticia.. But none of the Gothic girls did it for me. Then I met my wife. 18. She was perfect! Sweet, odd, fearless, and strong. Kind of a mix between the 1977 Wednsday and young Morticia. After my wife became a mother, she became more like Morticia. I guess what I am saying is: what makes Morticia so special is her matronly demeanor and years of matrimony, which is where we first saw her. So find an adult Wednsday, and maybe the rest will come🖤

Emmanuel Goldstein You can catch the end of the intro, and by extension the song, at the beginning. Also, the first two uploads like this used a different intro with the classic bit and the snapping. Maybe it’s because of the conception that people don’t watch intros anymore(although you prove that not true)

[@l9878]

@@totallycrazystudios1801 A psychologist has a doctorate degree in psychology and either does psychotherapy or psychological testing or engages in research. A psychiatrist is a physician or medical doctor that has gone to medical school and then has done a 4 year residency to become a psychiatrist and can prescribe medications. Psychologists typically (few rare exceptions) do not prescribe medications and psychiatrists do limited psychotherapy.
