I like how in the original show, the Addams were weird but by no means malicious, just a loving family to each other and their guests. Wednesday in particular took that darker, sadistic turn in later iterations.
It's funny because all of them (except Pugsley) look so evil outside but in reality they're really nice people. It's a case study of judging a book by its cover.
I always like to think the Wednesday in the movies is just an older version of this Wednesday (since she was so young and sweet here), so she's going through the early stages of puberty, which was why she was dark in a way. Just a young girl finding her way. I'm sure she would've been just like Morticia in her own way if there was a third movie.
Which is kind of weird, if you think about it. The producers intended to show the opposite of the common American family. And the opposite turned out to be a wonderfully loving and supportive environment!
Only couple that I have ever thought worth emulating . They became my standard to strive for....tell them you love & adore them, that you are proud of them, talk to them openly, play together, surprise each other. When things are hard, keep talking & be kind for you shall regret rash, harsh words.
Really? So none of the other t.v. shows with couples or a family, for the last 40 or 50 years, never showed love and kindness towards each other and their family? That’s odd. I’ve seen tons of shows (and movies) where couples or families show a lot of love and kindness for each other that you can feel it. Even now there’s some really good lovin’ kind of shows! Lol
As far as I know, the marriage of Morticia and Gomez was a fresh breath for sitcoms during that period. Married couples were portrayed either as weirdly chaste and mushy-gushy (for more family-friendly sitcoms) or grumpy couples nagging and often cheating on each other. Morticia and Gomez on the other hand had some real chemistry, as well as a healthy sex life.
I think I read somewhere that the actors had a real life attraction to each other. I’m not sure how true that is. They both could just be really great actors too lol
I think in any period of TV history Morticia and Gomez are unique in how they are not only very much in love and affectionate, but always have chemistry and work well as a pairing. Particularly, the focus on affection as opposed to bickering is what sets them apart and one reason they are so likable.
I never realized until METV started running this show again that she was the centerpiece of the show. She played it well with poise and delicate femininity.
Carolyn Jones is such a babe! Even with today's standards, she will still be one of the most beautiful on screen. And she gave Morticia such a lovely personality!
When my mother was younger, before her hair went grey, she looked a like Morticia. There was also a period of a few years when she dressed mostly in black. One time, we had gone to a restaurant for brunch. The lobby had a wicker chair like Morticia's. While we were waiting for a table, my mother sat in that chair, in the Morticia pose. She got a lot of looks!
I always loved the romance between Morticia and Gomez. The Addams Family was the upper-class, sophisticated version of ghoulish clans as opposed to the Munsters.
The love they shared for eachother is Peak relationship and thats what all couples should desire.the passion they have for each other. This, as dark as it could be considered is still peak family value. 🤘🏼
Morticia is a witch and you can’t convince me otherwise :) The broomsticks by the front door That comment to the genealogist The way she “smokes” where smoke comes out of her body Her plants I could go on (ps these are all references to the 1964 tv show)
@Chloe Wangensteen Actually she is! She confirmed it in the 90s movies (I know they're separate entities though). She said her major was "spells & hexes". Literally went to school for witchcraft
The only thing better than 10 minutes of Morticia would be 11 minutes. I bought the full DVD series just to see if I somehow missed the episode where she and Gomez actually locked lips but it never happened. Oh, the tension.
I used to watch this w my grandma & pop! people used to always call me ‘elvira’ or say that i gave them ‘morticia addams vibes” - she’s such a goddess to me… especially the original!! with the release of the new wednesday series everybody’s suddenly so obsessed with wednesday but morticia is where it’s really at.
5:32 Tish: "P-O-L-I-C-E" Pugsley: "You mean the fuzz?" Tish: "WHAT is the fuzz?" Pugsley: "The bulls" Gomez: "You thought you had him their didn't ya" Gomez's reaction tho
She was such a lady on screen and out. You cannot fake it. She was so lady like, in a classic way. No wonder that I like to call her The Duchess Carolyn Jones.
i think my favourite addams family adaptations really are this one, the 90s movies and the wednesday netflix show. they all have their own charme and i love how you can tell wxactly when they were made. i know nostalgia can ruin new adaptations for a lot of people but i think when you look into the history and development of the addams family more it's easier to appreciate even the changes and the clear love that went into all of these different versions.
She is so sexy, so loving, so graceful, so polite, those blue eyes, just wow. She was great but the chemistry between the cast was magical, and they were all unique. The remakes come no where near the series.
How weird that in this serie Morticia in indigned by the hansel and gretel story ... but in the 1993 movie she literally narrate the story to a whole class of little kids and made them cry lol
To be frank, I think as a young boy Carolyn Jones triggered my first feelings of sexual attraction without having the knowledge or even physical ability to truly experience it. I just remember how the sight of her made me feel uniquely "happy" for some odd reason. I guess that's why to this very day I prefer brunettes!
Jeanie is from I Dream of Jeanie (Genie) and Samantha from Bewitched. Personally, I think all four ladies are amazing in their own way and paved the way for women in today's film/TV to be uniquely themselves and to have fun no matter what "stanards" society has for women.
“That child has got to be taught to play with his own explosives” is a line that’s only made funnier with the knowledge that kids toys in the 40’s 50’s and 60’s were just death machines
Ladies and Gentlemen: John Astin, the father of Sean Astin better known as Samwise Gamgee. And the lovely, beautiful, talented Carolyn Jones. I miss those two. Great show.
Carolyn Jones was a gift for us...she is my Idol since I first saw Addams family in TV. And I love her still, and forever..and now, thanks for internet and youtube I see her in interview, in Password and can read informations about her ..and see how beautiful, kind and funny she was. Such a sweetheart...her laugh is the most beautiful and warm I have ever heard..she gave the joy to us, she inspired me in many ways....I am so sorry she dead so young😥 I was born in 1985...2 years after her death..the God wanted her by himself maybe...I think we all will love her forever❤ Sorry for my english, hope it is everything right😅
With all the other oddities in the family, that was one line they did not cross. Probably too much for network TV, the Moral Majority and all the other nonsense. A wonder what an Addams Family reboot might be like today ...

Creepy, kookie, mysterious, ookie, spooky but never malicious.
@@thgritic102 Well in the movies Morticia did say that Wednesday is at that very special age
So Im suggesting puberty too
@@thgritic102 "she's at that special age where she thinks of one thing:homicide."
They showed more love and kindness than any show on the air.

@@HappyGirl92593 maybe not in a natural or "organic" Morticia and Gomes dynamic have. At least to me lol.
@@HappyGirl92593 The key word being ‘more’
Beauty, grace, elegance, and just the right amount of macabre. Morticia is just about perfect.
Yaaaas
I wish I will ever meet women like her
agreed
My role model ❤❤❤❤
It’s a pity they don’t make gals like her anymore. But then I’m no Gomez.
By 50s standards she's goth. By modern standards she's just a very attractive brunette with long hair and a long black dress.
Well by 50s standards she also firmly rejected the beehive hairdos of the 50s and 60s seen in most TV wives. So long-flowing rebel.
She's still goth by modern standards lol
Just to clarify: The Addams Family premiered in 1964.
I’m just sayin’…
That fivehead ... sigh ...
Apparently the lovely Carolyn Jones was naturally blonde.

I heard it said, they were one TV couple that looked like they *could* actually have children.
Totally agree! I thought they were the best TV couple.
@@lawrencedoliveiro9104 They've actually been credited to be the first television couple to actually imply they had a sex life.
I never realized until METV started running this show again that she was the centerpiece of the show. She played it well with poise and delicate femininity.
Morticia sits on a throne in the center of the frame during the theme song
The subtle costume choice of her barely being able to move in her dress is so funny to me. She literally wiggled everywhere.
I think she was trying to give the impression of having something other than legs.
Carolyn Jones is such a babe! Even with today's standards, she will still be one of the most beautiful on screen. And she gave Morticia such a lovely personality!
Heh, i find the hollywood women in the old days better looking than the ones, now.
@@demonkingbadger6689 You are SO right about that 👏👏👏👏👏👏
"Even for today's standards"? ? Women were a lot more beautiful in the past.
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@@demonkingbadger6689 real
the chemestry between Gomez and Morticia is something I strive to have in my relationship
I attended high school with a lovely gal who looked remarkably like Morticia Addams. Yep -- she liked The Addams Family too.
When my mother was younger, before her hair went grey, she looked a like Morticia. There was also a period of a few years when she dressed mostly in black.
One time, we had gone to a restaurant for brunch. The lobby had a wicker chair like Morticia's. While we were waiting for a table, my mother sat in that chair, in the Morticia pose.

@@CadeD679 lol, your mom sounds awesome
@Walter Fechter so... there just might've been a correlation there, right? :-)
Dating her would always be a thrill. Never an expected moment
Never an expected moment amen
I always loved the romance between Morticia and Gomez. The Addams Family was the upper-class, sophisticated version of ghoulish clans as opposed to the Munsters.
I always wanted there to be a crossover episode between the two XD
The love they shared for eachother is Peak relationship and thats what all couples should desire.the passion they have for each other. This, as dark as it could be considered is still peak family value. 🤘🏼
Geneologist: They burn witches there you know.
Morticia: Yes, I'm certainly glad they don't do that today.
Me: Amen Sister.
Morticia is a witch and you can’t convince me otherwise :)
The broomsticks by the front door
That comment to the genealogist
The way she “smokes” where smoke comes out of her body
Her plants
I could go on (ps these are all references to the 1964 tv show)
@Chloe Wangensteen Actually she is! She confirmed it in the 90s movies (I know they're separate entities though). She said her major was "spells & hexes". Literally went to school for witchcraft
Well, school came to her- private tutors.
@@chloewangensteen7660 Not to mention her mother, Mrs. Frump was played by Margaret Hamilton! Talk about perfect casting!
And she lights candles with a touch, or by waving her hands over it. Ironically that last one was in the episode where they are looking for a witch.
The Addams Family is the greatest domestic comedy in the history of television.
I Love Lucy?
@@LA_HA Married With Children
The Nanny?
Bewitched???
Carolyn Jones (RIP) was the best looking Morticia Addams. None can really replace her. May she rest in peace.
Ah morticia addams, the beautiful and regal matriarch of the Addams Family
That dance scene, tho.
haha
The only thing better than 10 minutes of Morticia would be 11 minutes. I bought the full DVD series just to see if I somehow missed the episode where she and Gomez actually locked lips but it never happened. Oh, the tension.
138 likes... "very whoah, such misfits" - Glenn Dogezig
The first goth girl was also the most attractive!
"Widows and orphans; we need more of them" - Morticia from the movie
I think the tv show version of Morticia is my favorite. I love the way Carolyn Jones displayed her character.

Tish: "P-O-L-I-C-E"
Pugsley: "You mean the fuzz?"
Tish: "WHAT is the fuzz?"
Pugsley: "The bulls"
Gomez: "You thought you had him their didn't ya"
Gomez's reaction tho
She was such a lady on screen and out. You cannot fake it. She was so lady like, in a classic way. No wonder that I like to call her The Duchess Carolyn Jones.
I forgotten just how brilliant this show was, absolutely fabulous
Tish did not have to speak French to be HOT.
I have always crushed on her!
THIS Morticia -- I never believed in the Angelica Huston Morticia.
She's Carolyn Jones
its funny how she is like we will send are children to school but cries about missing them
Morticia provided a lot of dreamy desire in my early teens. An absolutely stunning woman.

As much as I love Jenna I enjoy the sitcom and the 90s movies more
Anyone else feel like Morticia is kind of a macabre version of Marilyn Monroe? Not in all iterations but here specifically.
You know you're not wrong.I see the resembles she's very feminine and talks gentle.
@@gonzoyork1908 exactly, she kind of subverts traditional femininity while also being hyper feminine.
Yeah kind of. Doesn't play dumb though.
Absolute beauty,so sad about her death so young
She is so sexy, so loving, so graceful, so polite, those blue eyes, just wow. She was great but the chemistry between the cast was magical, and they were all unique. The remakes come no where near the series.
Carolyn Jones' Morticia was the hot goth before goth was even a thing.
She had Gomez wrapped around her pinky finger.
And he loved it!
Damn, what a woman. RIP, honey.
Morticia and Gomez are couple goals
The funny thing is how much Christina Ricci’s Wednesday looks like a younger version of Carolyn Jones as Morticia. Really clever casting!
I almost say that before seeing your comment.
Same forehead!
I feel like we lost Carolyn Jones too soon. She was amazing, she was beautiful, she WAS Morticia Addams.
What a gorgeous woman Morticia is.
She is so beautiful 🖤
Iconic!
Hottest Morticia Ever
How weird that in this serie Morticia in indigned by the hansel and gretel story ... but in the 1993 movie she literally narrate the story to a whole class of little kids and made them cry lol
I've noticed that too
I think that before the Adams Family no tv show presented such a lovely couple.
Loved her. Sorry she died so young.
she was gorgeous
Carolyn Jones has got to be my favorite Morticia.
When ever l see Morticia wiggling about in that dress .... l'm smitten, she's perfect 🖤 🖤 🖤
Carolyn Jones was so pretty.
“MORTICA IS HOT!!!!🔥🔥🔥❤️😍😘
Unreal!The 60s were great! Music, t.v and all the rest! Thank God I was there to live it!
omg she was so beautiful
I love that he calls her Tish! Love this show :))
Ten minutes well spent.
I’ve been watching this show as of late and I definitely prefer it most. It’s fantastic!
No dislikes on the video, that's reflects the elegance
Carolyn Jones is so gorgeous. 😍
She can produce smoke from her 🐱! ICONIC!
Yo what? How do u kn it was from her 😺 😂
Carolyn Jones and John Aston
Will always be my favorite
Addams family.
You'll never truly be able to recreate this cast the best Addams family ever
When she speaks french, she drives me wild too
Carolyn Jones she's so perfect 😩❤
One of my prettiest costumes is the Morticia Addams-costume made by my mum. It's comfy, elegant and it makes me feel incredibly beautiful!
Talk about being smoking hot
she’s breathtaking 🥰🥰
Morticia : Do you mind if I smoke ? *inserting smoke that comes from nowhere*
I love the first vampira. Morticia Adams is great. The origional goth girl. Beautiful & fabulous in that part.
My, but I get the unhealthiest of thoughts watching Morticia dance at 2:38!
Morticia is breath-taking!!!..if u lined up all the female lead characters from all tv shows--Morticia would stand far above them all
A beguiling smile that put the Mona Lisa to shame!
3:53 GOOD LAWD, HOW… DOES IT FEEL…. TO LIVE *MY* DREAM….. AHHGHHH
To be frank, I think as a young boy Carolyn Jones triggered my first feelings of sexual attraction without having the knowledge or even physical ability to truly experience it.

At least i wasnt the only one.☺️
I've had a thing for goth chicks all along myself.
Morticia is the best mother Samantha may use witchcraft to solve problems but she's wise beyond her years
samanthas husband is abusive
You have put together and uploaded one of the few CZcams videos that I've enjoyed that didn't have any dislikes. Brava!
Glad you liked it!
THEY had Jeannie or Samantha.
WE had Morticia and Lily. 😁😘
Oh Morticia and Lily how fitting that those two stoled my heart.
Also who's Jeannie and Samantha?
Jeanie is from I Dream of Jeanie (Genie) and Samantha from Bewitched. Personally, I think all four ladies are amazing in their own way and paved the way for women in today's film/TV to be uniquely themselves and to have fun no matter what "stanards" society has for women.
The only video on CZcams I have ever seen with almost 10k views and zero dislikes. Rightfully so!
I can't take my eyes off her 😍
1964 Addams deserved so much better. Carolyn Jones was simply amazing.
“That child has got to be taught to play with his own explosives” is a line that’s only made funnier with the knowledge that kids toys in the 40’s 50’s and 60’s were just death machines
Still my fav tv couple 🖤💛
Why is everybody severely beautiful-
See she has such flexibility when she wanted Gomez to ring for lurch
Gothic bliss!🖤💣
Ladies and Gentlemen: John Astin, the father of Sean Astin better known as Samwise Gamgee.
And the lovely, beautiful, talented Carolyn Jones.
I miss those two.
Great show.
Morticia is the best.
That's all there is.
Period!
😋
Wife goals.
I'm taking a shot every time she says "dynamite caps"
My goodness, she can make a man's blood boil!
3:38-Morticia gettin it
2:11 "don't they make a handsome couple?"
"He is a man, she is a woman. Perfect match!"
So ahead of its time...
Carolyn Jones was a gift for us...she is my Idol since I first saw Addams family in TV. And I love her still, and forever..and now, thanks for internet and youtube I see her in interview, in Password and can read informations about her ..and see how beautiful, kind and funny she was.

Sorry for my english, hope it is everything right😅
She was so beautiful
Loved Angelica Houston's Morticia, but Carolyn Jones is still my favorite. She's just got a certain appeal...
Ya know thinking on it movie Morticia and show Morticia are two totally different beasts.
The epitome of r/witchesvspatriarchy
This is a real show and I would love to watch it
Forget about any other couple i wanna have a romance like gomez and morticia
Morticia , my hero.
"He's a man and she's a woman it's the perfect match"
Well you can't say that now
I was thinking the same thing.
What's stopping you from saying it? Don't be a coward, if you want to say it, just go ahead. None of this BS.
Meh, i think people know it showed gomez simplicity. Not any pwolitical statement
With all the other oddities in the family, that was one line they did not cross. Probably too much for network TV, the Moral Majority and all the other nonsense.
A wonder what an Addams Family reboot might be like today ...
what
So gothelicious.
Morticia is my spirit animal
This original show basically more about Morticia that. Her role looked bigger and her character shined more than wednesday and the rest xD
The “do you mind if I smoke” gag made me chortle out loud.
