Pugsley is too precious. I love how sweet and open he is about missing his sister, and how happy he is while eating that potpourri.

[@TheYoutubeVarietyHour]

What is potpourri

[@ipopa1995]

@@TheKZbinVarietyHour it's not food but more of aroma sent. They use Essential oil in kombination with dried fruit and spices. XD

I wish Pugsley was in the show more. I always loved the dynamic of Wednesday and Pugsley together causing mischief. Hearing him say he misses their adventures together is great. Love the dark hair too.

[@GeorgiaDow]

Me too! and happy you like the dark hair I liked it also

[@connorbingham4764]

I really hope that the next season maybe he is sent to the school and has to help wednesday she that emotions aren't weak

It’s the Wednesday show, not the Wednesday and Pugsley show.

[@Sarawarawara-]

@@SuperDeadparrot So? They could still focus on the more meaningful relationships between Wednesday and other characters (Pugsley, Enid, Eugene etc) over that stupid love triangle

[@growingupwithdisney]

I can see him coming into the show more as a main character in a third season of the show

[@WinterCalmorium]

I find it interesting how whenever Wednesday is sitting with her parents, her eyes seem so subdued; like she lacks her usual confidence when around Morticia and Gomez. There are so many possible reasons as to why and it's amazing how you can see that in just how she holds her eyes.

[@Broomer52]

I don’t know the context of the show but Gomez is a ball of sunshine and Morticia is unbridled confidence. They fear very little for slightly different reasons their attitudes may make her feel smaller just by existing

[@ShyOff]

She also is always in the middle of her parents, literally and figuratively, you can kind of tell she's done with having to be the literal middleman in it. I think this is also a big reason Wednesday didn't want to be like her parents, especially Morticia, ie: "repulsed" by love, affection, dating, cause she's ALWAYS in the middle of her mom and dad sucking face 24/7.

[@WinterCalmorium]

@@Broomer52 Absolutely! They do an excellent job showing that in the show, and it's clear Wednesday feels she is living in their shadow at Nevermore. The actors are wonderful at portraying this sentiment and others which are rooted even deeper

[@bouboulroz]

"Subdued" ? I read her more as moody, or pissed. And she definitely doesn't lack her usual confidence, otherwise she wouldn't literally order them to stop with their lovey-dovey attitude. Heck, she even takes control of the conversation seconds later. To me she's not subdued, she's just done with a situation she's not interested in and wants to move on to something that does. Namely, the murder case.

[@pauhy5601]

Maybe she doen't want to say anything that would paint her in a bad light in front of her parent to the therapist,ha?.

[@angie.castle]

As a newer counselor, I do agree with your assessment that the therapist here didn't seem to have a goal in mind when having this family session, which leads to being unprepared to ask exploratory questions or to sit on emotions. The therapist here is also visibly uncomfortable which can make the clients feel uncomfortable or unwelcomed to speak honestly.

[@Dularr]

Went to marriage counseling once. The therapist picked up on my wife having serious mental health issues. The session ended badly.

[@GeorgiaDow]

Sounds like you are a thoughtful therapist. I wish you the best in your career and thanks for the kind words

I noticed little microaffections in this, like their facial expressions when pugsley shared, they accept him as he is even if the therapist herself behaved openly uncomfortable around pugsley. I also liked that as much as Gomez wanted to follow his wife n daughter, he waited for pugsley, you could see he wanted pugsley to be quick but he didn't interupt him talking to the therapist or rush him, he just waited and didn't leave pugsley behind. Which shows how loved the kids are and makes one wonder what makes Wednesday feel so unloved (I wonder if she holds some anger to her parents for her weirdness and being the target if meanness by normies her whole life while conflicted by her enjoyment of her weirdness)

[@jeffersonian000]

Love your “Subtle Morticia” cosplay! Something to note is that Niki Lindhome’s Dr. Kinbott was being positioned as the potential killer, so her out of line therapy sessions were meant to question why she was bad at her job, rather than her character actually being bad at her job. I liked that, because if she actually was good at her job, her not being the killer would not have been a surprise.

[@GeorgiaDow]

Thank you = ) I enjoyed dressing up as her

[@davegreenlaw5654]

Agreed. In fact, I've seen three of her videos now, and loved the subtle cosplay in all of them: Enid's 'claws', Wednesday's braids, and now Morticia.

[@kaithdvd]

I love how a lot of people love Pugsley. The actor is underrated (he's the least promoted Addams family member) but he's so adorable. I know this show is all about Wednesday and Pugsley might not be "weird" enough to be in Nevermore, but I do wish we could see more sibling dynamics and teamwork between the two siblings

[@sarahmarcoux6092]

I don't think him not going to Nevermore is about his level of weirdness. If I'm remembering the Addams Family lore correctly, Pugsley is younger than Wednesday. It looks like Nevermore is a residential high school. Pugsley may not be old enough yet.

[@kaithdvd]

@@sarahmarcoux6092 maybe so, but Nevermore is also a school for mythical creatures. Wednesday is the only normal human enrolled (until we found out she's a seer) what makes her an outcast is her psychopathic tendencies and her family's macabe nature. But still, I'd love to see how Tim would get Pugsley into the school if he wanted to

[@sarahmarcoux6092]

We are never shown what it is about Eugene that makes him an 'outcast' in this universe. Just his love of bees wouldn't be it. I hope that they give Eugene more back-story in the next season. I really enjoy his character and Wednesday's friendship with him.

[@Jandypoptvstars]

​@@sarahmarcoux6092 Eugene can actually control the Bees. Hence he sent them to attack Laurel Gates/Thornhill. It is possible that he also has some control/affinity with other insects. As he seems to constantly be referring to them and finding them in the forest.

[@yuh.kxyla15]

@@sarahmarcoux6092 Eugene and Pugsley are actually the same age. I think the parents only sent Wednesday to Nevermore because Pugsley never got expelled or anything like that from his old school.

[@LoneHowler]

I work security at an airport. We were taught to address people in wheelchairs directly, and to do the same with other people in with assistants, even if we might believe there might be communication barriers, we do our best to communicate the process and their options. The assistant can step in with translation, or help them understand with their means of communication. This should be a standard society wide, and I find it upsetting that the place where it should be the most important place to find it, is where it's lacking the most for your experience

[@davegreenlaw5654]

Forgive me for being blunt, but that is just plain rude on their part.

[@rdmrdm2659]

Morticia is sitting in a way to absolutely dominate and control her space. She has that “king on the throne, I’m the boss” pose.

[@karencarter18042]

I am not sure Gomez is happy that Wednesday is no longer home but rather he know if he shows too much emotions that Wednesday will not be comfortable with that. I say that cause Gomez does touch his son to comfort him, he know his son needs that. I also think it shows Gomez has a level of trust in Wednesday, that he is suggesting they do talk about the "murder" , however I don't think talking about it in front of the therapist would be a good idea .

[@hannesh234]

I do say, the ticking of the clock was giving me anxiety during that scene, but I think it also helped for the ambiance of that scene, making it feel a bit more uncomfortable on purpose.

[@travismiddleton8218]

I love Wednesday's facial expressions throughout this therapy session. She reacted so strongly to her parents display of love. I wish she had reacted more to her brother saying that he misses her. Great breakdown 👍

[@rainy4902]

It’s very cool, from what I’ve seen of the addams, family (not a lot, aside from Wednesday) how each iteration of Addams family can near perfectly convey the family dynamic through staging and visual storytelling. For instance, morticia always demands the most presence in a scene, it’s always clear she’s the top authority, towering over the rest of the family always with an unwavering confidence and calm pose. Gomez looks to still have authority, but is not one to enforce it, he’s the only family member to show such extreme emotion, most of the time joy or anticipation, with a level of eeriness, his width clashes with Morticia’s height, reinforcing his authority. Wednesday is put front and center, naturally we expect this from the main character, but it seems she’s almost on display as Morticia’s and Gomez’s model kid, Wednesday is trapped in between two other characters who visually speaking, have the most authority, the perspective makes Wednesday feel smaller, she’s tensing up her shoulders, clenching her hands, it’s clearly uncomfortable for her, but Wednesday still takes her position with determination, with a focused expression, she’s almost on the same level as her parents. The only one than who’s not on that level is pugsly, the runt of the group, he’s at the lowest level, he’s contrasted with everyone else, he’s alone, and it’s clear that it’s because Wednesday isn’t with him, he wants to be around his sister, because most of the time that’s the person who’s cared for him the most, and who brings him closer to the rest of the family. Goddamn, where was all this energy during my English class! The Addams have a very clear dynamic that is accentuated and exaggerated by the posing and staging of characters, to the point where still images can tell a full story. And that’s my presentation on why Wednesday rocks

[@Mambo1061]

It’s so interesting to see how they depict therapy in this show having watched the films from the 90s, the therapist is a hokey con artist in that but it’s still surprisingly coherent and miles better therapy that Morticia and Gomez are incredibly receptive to It’s kind of sad imo to see their trademark affection be depicted as something that could ever prevent a healthy loving relationship with their kids It’s like the mother daughter tension was just the easiest place they could create tension that wasn’t there before I understand the necessity to adapt, hopefully there’ll be more family growth and closeness to come in this show

[@MatildaV1980]

Well, this show is called Wednesday, not The Addams Family. Wednesday is a teenager in this show, while she was a tween in the 90’s films. I personally think it’s natural development of her character to feel the way she feels towards her parents, distancing herself from them to ”blaze her own path”. So I don’t really get this particular critizism the show gets from a lot of people. To have a 16 year old Wednesday idolizing her parents and they always seeking eye to eye would be weird to me.

I'd probably try to mirror her by expressing appreciation for her dry wit, demonstrating genuine interest in her morbid hobbies while always showing concern for her safety and well-being, and not "taking the bait" when she says inflammatory or shocking things. Wednesday's only going to accept help, advice, and feedback from someone she trusts, I reckon, and you build that trust by proving that you're congruent, genuine, and not easily rattled, offended, or freaked out.

Watching this with my husband, we both very much didn't vibe with the therapist for the reasons you listed in the first few episodes about this show you created. It's nice that it's been put into words. It felt that she wasn't really there to help Wednesday, but to fix issues that she has that she may not be particularly ready to deal with or want to deal with. Not to say that she may be /bad/ but she sets a bad example for thearapy in my mind, though I myself am not one. My heart went out to Wednesday in hopes that she finds someone better.

Both of mine have been incredibly awkward, which I decided not to judge since I’m studying Psych and am myself incredibly awkward, but neither ever offered me any water even when I had an asthmatic coughing fit in one session.

[@Voodoomaria]

John Astin who was the first to play Gomez on Television said in an interview [and many family psychologists at the time agreed] that the Addams Family were probably the healthiest family unit on television in that era. Their unconditional love, support and acceptance for each member of the family was without equal at the time, there was no judgment, and their primary concern as individuals was the happiness of all the other members of the family. Even when Pugsley joined [shivers] the Boy Scouts, although his parents were deeply disturbed by this deviant behaviour, they tried to support him in his choices, even though their first impulses were to force him away from it. There was deep and intense love between Gomez and Morticia, as Astin said, you KNEW this couple was having sex, and in the early 60's even implied sex on TV was completely taboo. Even more, they were comfortable open and demonstrative of their love in the presence of their children, and the rest of the family, they saw no reason to treat it as a shameful secret. No, if you wanted a family with issues, That was the Cleavers from "Leave it to Beaver". Sure they appeared normal on the surface, BUT; Two sons with absolutely NO moral compass, a father who sits in suit shirt and tie on Saturday Morning just screams controlling, and you just KNEW June was gooned on Miltown, it's the only way she can deal with the stress of a controlling husband, and two completely out-of-control sons. Sorry, they were just so CREEPY.

[@redhead0122]

2:27 one time we had a group session with my sisters therapist. I met him the first time and my dad knew him a little bit. And there was also another one as a neutral no one from us had any meetings with. But because my sister has this tendency to say no one is on her side and we manipulated the others to have someone we didn’t know eliminated this from the start. So when they protected us from her verbal jabs and shifting blame she kinda had to accept that it was like that. And she also had a part in her problems and not everything is the fault of tue people around her.

reminds me of the very short time I went to family therapy when I was 15. not going into too many details, it was mostly fine when it was just me and my mum, but when the therapist said she wanted my dad to be involved things got pretty bad. Again, I don't want to go into details here because it's not really the time or place for it, but basically my dad just aggressively dodged every question and made me and mum uncomfortable and we just stopped going because of it. I don't really think the therapist was that good either, at least not for me. And she didn't ever talk to my dad individually which might've actually got us somewhere but... it just didn't work out. The whole experience was just awkward.

"Over some tea and crumpets." Lol :) I need to have crumpets the next time I drink tea. Excellent point about Kinbott's tone too. It definitely was counterproductive.

When I was a child I went to family counseling with my siblings and parents and the therapist made me sit quietly while my family told me how I was ruining their lives just by existing. I had an abusive mother, an autistic sister, and a workaholic dad. I was 13. A few years later my mom had a psychotic break and put a gun to my head and tried to kill me. Because of that therapist I never sought help again until just recently. I'm 26. A bad therapist can destroy lives. If that woman had listened to me at all rather than attacking me based on my family's views maybe she could have stopped the abuse and saved a child.

[@schiffelers3944]

Visual storytelling, and Pugsley Addams seating and eating, we don't see a lot of Pugsley in this season or story, but he is the catalyst in this story and season. Why is Wednesday at Nevermore? Because she retaliated on the bullies of Pugsley. Wednesday is seated in between the parents, and the parents are the focal points with how they position/drape themselves in their seats. Like you said posed for a picture perfect photograph to be taken, or a portrait to be painted. In this session for Wednesday it is about the secrets of her parents, and their skeletons in their closets. Look at the evasive eye contacts of the parents, vs the deep intense focus from Wednesday. Both parents have thoughts and feelings, clearly, but make the choice not to react/answer. Also Gomez seems to have more mixed feelings and thoughts on this than Morticia, she even seems the least bit bothered and actually maybe enjoying this. In a previous video the question was if Wednesday might be coded autistic in short hands or if she her personality/character could be autistic. Pugsley opens up this session, as presumably the youngest member of the family, seated on the ground, using "food" as a comfort, but also being the most emotional open. You can hear his voice under the emotional pressures crackling. Reinstating the brotherly & sisterly bond between them. And as the mamasboy we get a shot of Morticia having more facial expression of her thoughts and emotions then before with Wednesday. But this tells us she feels similar hearing this, opposite to the raised eyebrow expression we had before, with her own response to the same question. Also Wednesday has a reaction and even a moment with eye contact with Pugsley in response to his reaction. She blocks of her emotions but feels similar to him, but doesn't want to go there, and wishes Pugsley wouldn't open up like this, because it effects her in a way she doesn't want to be effected. The story on Nero her pet scorpion and her crying and then blocking her emotions off and masking since then. The therapist then pulls the focus to Morticia, and we see how Wednesday is stoning/freezing/masking over again, regain her focus in her eyes. The words of he father throw her off, and she notices the inappropriate clinging bond between her parents being triggered and coming up, and wished this would stop. Looking at the therapist for help, to interrupt this/them. Look at her eyes focused, willed, emotional pleading but still stoic in a way. She is not vulnerable, her mask, her wall, however you want to name it. As the father goes in for the hand and arm kissing her eyes shift away, she doesn't want to see this, be part of this, etc. The parents are enmeshed, always were always have been. And the secret they harbor is part of this, we will find out later. Also Gomez is more like Pugsley, showing emotion (counter character of the norm which the Addams family was about in concept) Wednesday and Morticia are more iced over. It is not just Wednesday they lost it is also the son seated on the ground, in his own special way. The children are not number one in the relationship Gomez and Morticia. Especially in this rendition of the Addams family. She is like 15/16 y/o a teen/adolescent and that also shows in her dominance to tell her parents off, "Enough!". She (Wednesday) has regained the control over the session, the scene, and immediately pulls out the file. As you said, this setting is a way for her to find out answers to secrets her parents are holding from her, but she is unraveling. Also she wants her parents to tell he their side of this, in a way letting their biases be the first she gets exposed to thus believed. But her parents flee and run, as this did with this secret. Or is it both, her wanting to understand but it also bringing up trust issues. Roles and masks - we all have them, some more than others. "Decades old witch hunt." Also funny forecast with Goodie and the Pilgrim from hell in the end. Pugsley is the only one with the socialization or social awareness to thank the therapist because the session is over, the rest all is involved in their own minds and drama and just storm off. Wednesday followed by Morticia - this is all about excavating the secret. Her secret and lesser that of Gomez who was blamed. But if one lacks family and friends a therapist might be a good substitute at times for tea and crumpets. So, the setting was not optimal for a family setting, the office. Also the therapist is not the best.

Have you ever considered doing a crossover with Cinema Therapy at all?

[@GeorgiaDow]

if they ever ask = )

[@arianeturcot25]

Can you do a Ginny and Georgia review? Especially when she is in therapy with her mom!

[@CakeDaWire]

I honestly wish I had u as a therapist because I used to go to therapy as a teenager and it didn’t go well. One day, I expressed to my therapist that there are things that my mom does to me that make me upset or uncomfortable and I wished that she would listen to me. My therapist suggested I invited her to a session so we could talk it out. I hesitantly agreed, so when the next session came around, I asked my mom to come in with me and she said yes. It became a terrible mistake because from the start to finish of the session, I was never able to express my feelings and it just became a therapy session for her. I was just there in the background. It was all about how her life was hard, how I needed Jesus in my life to cure my depression, I needed to listen to my mom more, etc. After that I never wanted to do therapy again, so after a couple more sessions of just me and my therapist, I lied saying I was better, and now I never want to go back to therapy. I don’t remember the details but now I have trouble opening up again.

[@GeorgiaDow]

I am sorry that it didnt go well it is hard to control a group situation and it is so important to give everyone their space. Unfortunate that this stopped you from going anymore but understandable, I hope if you ever need again you do try again. Thank you for the compliment

[@CakeDaWire]

It’s alright I know that someday I need to overcome my fears. And I just wanted to say as well thank you for making videos like these 💖

[@ThatGUY666666]

I am really glad that even I was able to see that this therapist was really bad and unhelpful, I was even able to identify some of the problems on my own. On another note, I would be very curious to get your thoughts on the last couple episodes from the Harley Quinn show, specifically how she did in being Bruce Wayne's unofficial therapist. Granted I doubt that would be favored by the KZbin algorithm but it would be interesting because lets face it, if anyone needed serious help, it is Bruce Wayne

happy you are enjoying them

[@nublock5000]

I really appreciate these videos for their content, but you going to the trouble of creating unique cosplays for every episode is really such a great touch. PS, you're a more legit Morticia than the one they got for the show.

[@GeorgiaDow]

AWW such an awesome compliment Made my day !!

[@whitneybauswell2032]

You said one person shouldn’t feel ambushed what if the therapist is the one doing the ambushing? (Blaming/really rude/ asking inappropriate questions) that happened to me with a previous therapist and when I first went to the therapist I have now I was terrified because of that previous lady

[@AnoAssassin]

1:01 Well, to be fair it is the Addams way to hit a pose, especially for the parents

[@EsaKarjalainen]

Pugsley is done dirty by many adaptations. He's apparently something of a genius tinker/maker, and makes a lot of the torture devices Wednesday uses.

Totally understand have been to group therapy a couple times.

Oh my god. It's like watching me my mom and dad in a room lol. This is my childhood playing out. And funny thing my mom use to be a therapist lol.so watching Wednesday is like me with my mom and dad lol

[@Al77343]

Potpourri roughly means spoiled/rotten pot I didn't know what it was but just thought that it didn't sound like something that would taste good

[@crunch13leaf]

It’s basically an air freshener. Dried flowers and pine cones and stuff that have been soaked in perfume.

Wednesday is someone who is alone but not lonely.

[@davegreenlaw5654]

Yes, group therapy - especially family therapy - can be quite difficult, and the right or wrong therapist can make or break it. I recall one family session with me, my mom and dad, and the two young female therapists. While I didn't really know much about what 'toxic feminism' was (sorry, can't think of a better phrase) I was getting a vibe from them that seemed to be bordering on hostility towards my father, finding any way to vilify him while vindicating my mother. I know that sounds harsh and cruel, but none of us can say that it doesn't - or worse, can't - exist.
