Mother Lurch Visits the Addams Family (Full Episode) | MGM
• Mother Lurch Visits th...
Season 1, Episode 17 - Zábava
Other TV husbands would be emasculated by their wife being better at them at something, but Gomez takes pride in his wife's dexterity with a crossbow. These two are relationship goals.
Gomez is Boss but Morticia is Too and lurch is obviously adopted
Which made this and the Munsters the best two family sit-coms of the 60s.
Oh yes!!
Trust me it's not just TV husbands
@@elavke5441 ikr,?
I had the distinct pleasure of being told that I resembled Morticia Adams when I was younger. Now, at 73, I think I resemble her mother much more.
I’m sure you’re just as lovely as Morticia!
At 73 your a great comedian
You fox, you. 😉
@Santiago E. Juárez Martinez Blossom Rock portrayed Gomez's mother; Morticia's mother was played by Margaret Hamilton (Wicked Witch of the West, "The Wizard of Oz")
That's beautiful my sister dressed as Morticia for a party because people would say she looked like her , my late Nanna ❤️ and my mum look alot like her mother . It's sweet and nostalgic ❤️ thankyou for sharing
Have you ever noticed that neither Gomez or Morticia ever criticize or talk down to each other. Total respect all the time. They are the perfect example of how husbands and wives should treat each other.
Yes, but how many wives call their husbands bubalah?
FACTS
56squadron I suppose they could start doing so!
It’s because they have no sense of self. It’d be nice if people didn’t nowadays but if they didn’t they’d be toast in the real world.
maybe not-so-much the bed of nails or the Iron Madien
Morticia: *does anything*
Gomez: Tish, when you do that it drives me wild!
They are couple goals
Gomez: speak french for me dear!
Me too.
I mean, look at her
That’s Amore Querida Mía
If all marriages were like Gomez and Morticia's, there would be no divorce rate!
One more thing the Gomez's were RICH so they had no money woes.
Michelle A. Murray what creepy and not sending kids to school lol
That's just your fantasy talking, as we see man utterly worshipping his wife. Which we, men (aka males), do 99.95% of the time.
...and think about the divorce lawyers going hungry ?!? 😂😂😂
@@catholiccrusader5328 well maybe
I love how instead of being angry with Lurch they are helping him.
Good employers
@@raymondweaver8526 I’m sure some friends wouldn’t even do that!
@@raymondweaver8526 i think lurch aint an employee he is definetly a family member i mean whenever lurch have a problem gomez and morticia care for him a lot i think thats wholesome
@@raymondweaver8526 It would be nice if every employer can do this in a perfect world. I do admire The Addams Family for doing this for Lurch. So sweet! :)
@@melissahoffman4687 Nah then every employee would take advantage
A happily married couple who shows affection, works together, and helps others to solve problems. Gomez and Morticia were the true weirdos after all.
I love how Gomez and Morticia immediately step down from their positions in the household, without question or ego, to help their BUTLER of all things.
Shows how much heart the Adams actually have for eachother as "dark and scary" they seem.
Yeah they’re so nice
You do realize this is a TV show, right?
@@dianem6951
We know it’s a tv show - it’s beautifully written and so well acted..
@@lavieenrose5954
You don’t seem like you know it’s a TV show. Seriously, it’s just entertainment. People need to be able to tell the difference. They seriously don’t have that ability.
You should reread the comments. These people believe in things like Santa Clause, and that they can even change reality. They were raised to believe in a world of make believe presented as reality.

Better a bottle than half a glass, unfortunately there are plenty of great shows out there that didn't even get past season 1
Brilliant
I would give you a like, but it's perfect at 666. . .
I never in a million years thought I'd enjoy this old of a show.
This compliment for old shows is really good
The way Gomez adores Morticia is seriously so refreshing to see. Especially in a sitcom from the 60s.
Absolutely!! The women were always portrayed as lesser than the man…. My favorite show as a kid. Well that and creature feature lol
Naturally he's on a show about a bunch of weirdos
Well. That's because it is the 60s, a period when love has real meaning
@@Itunudeboraholowoyeye no.
That's love. I couldn't pass the woman I love on the stairs, without kissing her.
I'm 62 and I loved The Addams family as a young boy...and to this day I still believe Carolyn Jones was so gorgeous.
Adam family is a awesome show,was1965,year before I was born,I remember watching in 1972,I was 6, Morticia a pretty lady,her and Gomez great actors
@@lisaparsons4124 ...i'm 63 and i agree and Maryann was cute
I love how the Addams treat every everyone within the house with such respect and love. Todays' tv shows doesn't have that.
True. Too much sarcasm and jokingly putting each other down
They are supposed to be the anti-thesis of the typical family
So yeah
Y'all get much more kinder greetings & more respect in a bondage dungeon today than y'all do at Walmarts so go figure huh
That's cause BDSM fetishists understand that trust is most important and most fragile and want to make sure everyone thry meet is given the same amount of respect.
Walmart knows their people will come. Ack regardless so they don't care.
"Goodnight Johnboy!", "Goodnight Elizabeth!" 🎵🎶
How wholesome were the Adams Family? They loved each other, took care of any and all family members and treated their servants like family??
You made the best comment ever
Crossbow
The Munsters TOO and they sad for poorBeautyFullGirl
addams
Also crossbow
Morticia: exists
Gomez: "you drive me wild!"
(not that it's bad, I love how much he adores his wife)
John Astin, Carolyn Jones, and Jackie Coogan made Emmy worthy performances in this show.
The original Addams Family is the best in black & white.
Have you ever seen colour pictures of the set ? It's quite something
Have you ever seen the TV show they tried to make? Mockingbird Lane with Portia De Rossi and Jerry O'Connell?
Have you ever seen the reunion of the original cast in the 70's (is in color lol)
Hahahahaha
It prob would look to colourful
The original Morticia Addams such a beautiful woman in her day
Fine piece of human female.
Yes, she was. And so graceful.
Still!
Beautiful in any day!
Any day!
I love how Gomez always gets carried away in how much he loves Morticia. I wish every adaptation of the Addams kept that
never paid the others a single mind. This is the only Addams family that exists to me.❤️
I absolutely love Lurch’s actor! He knows how to play the supernatural- ish character really well like Morticias actress did. He could have the deepest and most monotone voice but still portray what Lurch is feeling.
Of course his height is a big part of selling his character but the actor himself is what really brings Lurch to life (not literally of course)
Lurch saying "momma" melts my heart ❤
Ted Cassidy the Actor, ad libbed the line "You Raaaang!" Great comedic work here. They all sold it so well, camp but took the characters seriously.
@@Alvan81 and in this episode, Ted got to use some of his talent. I see him in many old oaters.
This was an incredible performance of a non-talking character! I figured how they would solve Lurch explaining the issue of the episode to them without breaking character... Gomez guessing it and Lurch groaning "SERVANT..." was perfect.
Wasn't he the Judge in My cousin vinny?
Lurch: A servant
Morticia: A very good servant
Lurch: A liar
Gomez: A very good liar 😆
Gaea Ranee Ibanez hahahha
But then morticia admonished him. Shouldn’t lying be a good thing to them?
I thought they would be Republicans with all those Ill-gotten gains. Pirate gold...
Investments, a legal practice, salt mine, uranium mine...what ill-gotten gains?
Gaea Ranee Ibanez Gomez?!
As someone who suffers from lower back pain I can see how that rack would be relaxing.
As a kid, I was always fascinated with Uncle Fester and the vise treatment. 😱🤣
Or shoulder pain.
Try the y strap
I was thinking the same thing
😅
I love the part where Gomez and Lurch say “You rang?” together. That’s very funny and cute)😂
Mortician: Lurch, say something
Lurch: Good luck.
😂
Lurch "making eyes" at Morticia has to be the most uncomfortably hilarious moment in the entire series.
You have to admit Gomez and Mortica are great employers to do this for Lurch.
Family is more like it.
@@WilliamRamirez-nk9xo no there not related
@@riley818 obviously my friend but the world can be your family if you want it that way or are we waiting for a court paper to put it in writing first.
well as they said, he's considered family
Better would have been if they helped him to be accepted for what he really is. What is bad in being a servant?
Lurch is actually a savage when he talks in the show, he has very dry humor and understands everything that goes on. The best episodes are when the family helps him like when Morticia goes to the Butler’s Ball in disguise to dance with Lurch so he has a dance partner.
I just love whenever he does the whole body shudder.
Hi! Where could I watch that? Do you still remember the episode?
It’s so fun to go back 50 yrs after the fact and see all these hilarious episodes I missed. Mother Lurch killed me! 🤣
18:25 Literally a savage
@@elai5985 it's called "Lurch learns to dance" - currentl it's one of the uploaded and watchable episodes (by MGM)
With all due respect to Angelica Huston; there can only be ONE, Mortician Adams!
The spellbinding *Miss Carolyn Jones!*
I have a very good friend who taught dancing to Carolyn Jones during the last year of her life, and she said that she was one of the nicest and sweetest ladies she had ever met...
Why was Carolyn Jones taking dancing lessons when she was literally dying of colon cancer? Didn't she have to shoot her last scenes on "Capitol" in a wheelchair??
@@missleader5262 what was the show capitol about?
She was a beauty 😍
When I was a kid, I thought Morticia was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. So graceful and beautiful.
Well, as a kid you had incredibly well thought out taste you lovely, person.
@@evelynsteiner7616 Thank You.

Jean Paul,what state are you from? I have uncle and aunt in New Hampshire.
Truth of the matter is, we have some tall people like Lurch.. :D I never passed my father's height though, If I did, I would be over 6 ft, or over 190 cm....
@@claudiarobinson587 LOL Minnesota ... but I have been blessed with several New Englander friends.
If you think about it Lurch really is the ideal butler. Fiercely loyal, good with the kids, not overly chatty, musical, and always in a cheerful disposition (aside from when his mother visits, and who wouldn't feel the same)
Carolyn Jones was so perfect for this role. Such a sad loss at the young age of 53.
Back in 1966 I met Ted Cassidy when he was at a mall in San Antonio, he was in character. I was 9 and
he shook my hand it was so large and he signed an
autograph picture. GREAT memory.
He was pretty cool in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Never met anyone from this show, but in '68 or '69.....while on a tour of Universal Studios....I did meet Grandpa Munster ( Al Lewis ). I was 13 or 14 at the time.
@@195511SM Did you watch "Car 54 Where are You?" It had Al Lewis and Fred Gwynne.
you're so lucky omg
I did get a chance to briefly meet Jackie Coogan (Uncle Fester) who had started acting in silent films working with Charlie Chaplin, Little Rascals and was the reason for child labor laws as his family stole his fortune. Charming man.
Lurch: "I LIKE THE FUNNIES."
I like the funnies too :)
I don't blame him. That's the best part. :)
I agree with Lurch!😁👍
Relatable
Love the tenderness and dignity in this family. Even Thing behaves politely and shows knowledge.
Aren't the Addams the most wonderful people ever?
Yes! Love the show. I have Charles Addams book on my coffee table
Best couple!
Could have worse neighbors
I'd live there id let them adopted me 😈
Every woman needs to find her Gomez.He is the best husband and companion ever!!
i love the “you _____ it drives me wild!” gag about everything morticia does and gomez just falling over her.
6:40 I don't think that was only Gomez checking Tish out, I believe that was ALL John Ashton (not saying I blame him).
Reminds me the character of Jamie Lee Curtis in A fish called Wanda 😂
That's the love for foreign languages!
I love how concerned they are for their staff.
I’d forgotten how alluring she was in this role and how clever this show was. Each character was brilliantly portrayed. “Creepy comedy” is a genre The Addam’s Family and Munsters mastered.
The woman they got to play Morticia is a classic beauty
Carolyn Jones
She was a huge Hollywood star in her day, very beautiful!!
Check out Carolyn Jones in the 1953 thriller "House of Wax" with Vincent Price. It's a fun retro flick set in the early 1900's, that was made for the 3D fad of the time. She looks so pretty in it, and has a teensy little waist that you see when her friend laces up her corset.
@@eduardo_corrochio You got that right! She's gorgeous in that movie!
So sad that she died young @ 53 from colon cancer :/
As a teen, I used to fold my arms and position my hands just like Morticia. I grew my nails long, just so I could pose like her with more effect LOL. I wanted to look like her, and have her mannerisms. She was always lovely to me, and I could never understand why people (in the show) thought the Addams' were so weird. I found their family understanding, loving, devoted, and kind.
We are the Addams family. People find us kooky and spooky. But they envy our love.
Such is the life of unassuming Immortals. Loving, devoted, and kind.
@@CJ-hz1uj Yes, well, when doing experiments as an undergraduate in organic chemistry the entire 3 story science building had to be evacuated for the day because even the hazmat people were having trouble getting into the lab I had mixed up something I got into no trouble. Why? Because everybody was happy to take the day off. They knew it was me because of my habit of washing my hands with concentrated sulfuric acid to show off. Who else could breathe the noxious fumes and not complain? My sweat was so acidic when I was young that I had to change the latex gloves every 10 minutes in anatomy class. They would first turn dark brown and fall off my hands in pieces. I of course was elected to saw the cadaver in half with a hand saw.
However, the thanksgiving evening I literally blew up my kitchen with the entire meal prepared for 30 people; well the women were not happy. Especially when I said "no problem, I'll order pizza". The men and grandchildren loved it though. I was barred from the kitchen over a year.
I would tell you about other members of my family but each "peculiar person" would take their own book to do justice. Only would mention Mishu, our now dead black cat, who decided to stick her but into my armpit at 3AM so I would midwife her as she gave birth. The kids were small then and my wife called them to see it. They kept going on about, "you see, Mishu knows Dad's a Doctor."
Anyway, 2 months ago I spent 5 hours explaining things to the FBI, again, no charges will be filed. I just don't seem to fit "the parameters" but nothing I do is illegal, just unusual. Like having homeless men in our house to detox not as part of any program. Or cooking up medicine in the kitchen, no controlled substances, just stuff. I am NIH certified and principal investigator at 2 human research centers. I was great when the kids went to kindergarten for show and tell. I would have them answer to the whole class when asked, "what does your daddy do?" He makes and recommends drugs. I would also make whymes out of their Dr notes. Long and epic stories of rhyme. My wife with her clam elitist Morticia pose would explain at the parent teacher meetings about me. Mi querida.
Yes, we are all immortal. I am not joking.
@@JRRodriguez-nu7po You have had a very interesting life by the sounds of it.
I had to reread your statement "I was elected to saw the cadaver in half." A few times. 😳
Have you thought about writing a book about some of your life stories?
I would purchase the first autographed copy.
📓
And I would love to hear more about ...
"we are all immortal."
@@silverrabbit7854 Thank you, and if I were to write it despite documentary evidence and a plethora of witnesses it would immediately be classified as fiction. However, my life continues so "interesting" it leaves little time except for occasional net musings. My entire family is nuts, but somehow productive and we actually like each other.
The Addams Family is pure love
The shots of Morticia while she was teaching Lurch to make eyes, my gosh she is just a beauty! 😍
Her demanding lurch make eyes at her was hilarious lol
Lurch winking at Morticia was priceless 🤣
The physical comedy in this show was so funny! Smoke coming out his ears when he puffs on the cigar. Man, I miss this kind of simplicity.
Definitely! I cracked up when Lurch knocked Gomez over when running to answer the phone out of habit.
It's like a cartoon in live-action!
Me tooooo
I still do that today and every time I smoke a friggin good cigar my family tells me to stop it...
I know, right? But the episode where Mortisha asks a guest if he minds if she smokes, and she doesn't actually light anything! She just smokes. I thought I might need help getting off the floor.
R.I.P for the actors that passed away
Yeah, which ones died again?
Good, nobody should to live so long, it's a torture.
John Astin and Lisa Loring, who played Gomez and Wednesday Addams, respectively, are the only surviving cast members of the original series.
@Estrella That would be Raul Juliá, who played Gomez in the two live-action movies. He passed away in 1994, shortly before the release of the Street Fighter movie where he played M. Bison.
John Astin was the first actor to portray Gomez, and he's still alive and well.
@Estrella morticia died of cancer years ago. Pugsly died a few years ago. All are dead but Wednesday and Gomez from the tv series
GOMEZ AND MORTICIA ALWAYS COMPLIMENT AND ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER
"Anyone who would hate an octopus is warped!" - Gomez.
These actors were so great. They filled my childhood with glee.
I nearly laugh my lungs out when she ordered him to make eyes at her.
A bit stereotype wouldn't you say
Me too XD
@@clearsky1572 Agreed, it is actually a long lost art called acting.
Me too..
"Now, about pinching the maid......."
Morticia in a maid outfit? Well ladies and gentlemen they did it. They improved perfection.
i know right its so cute
Can she wear dat twenty four seven
Matthew Fogarty please no
I honestly didn't like that outfit. She looks better in her normal one.
🥵 she would be 70 years older than me tho
Just everything about the way Gomez and Morticia act towards this situation is wonderful. Completely supportive of Lurch. Servant or not you can't deny that man is family to them.
I've seen fams on tv and real life who wouldn't inconvenience themselves this much to help someone
The Addams Family may be a little weird, but they are more nice and kind than most people in the real world!
You know, Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia were very good, BUT ... in the end, nothing beats John Astin and Carolyn Jones. :-)
I wish we had shows like this and Warner bro cartoons to teach us values and music. No wonder things have gone downhill. What has the modern times brought? 2 broke girls? Excuse me!
Very Good?? eccch.. I found the remake totally cringeworthy, lacking all subtlety, and the Uncle Fester character was a real barfbucket. They should’ve all been boiled in South Tasmanian oil, to use a Gomez line.
So true!!
Nothing like the original .
Fredriik Forkbeard are you talking about the live action or animated?
This show was slightly ahead of its time.
Yeah.
I'm dying of laughter whenever Gomez is turned on at Morticia's gestures. Hahahahah
One of my favorite Addams Family episodes. Lurch is
hilarious pulling the rope and
it falls off, getting the " You
Rangs " mixed up with Gomez,
trying to make eyes at Morticia, trying to act masterful, and Ellen Corby as
the insufferable mother.
My favorite line:
Lurch insists, " I LIKE THE FUNNIES. "
I was reading up on Ted Cassidy who played Lurch. He was academically gifted, he started high school at the age of 11.
He was also 6'1" by then
Christopher Zapata What on earth were they feeding that boy?
I like him when he played the android Ruk in the Star Trek TOS episode “What are Little Girls Made Of”
Thank GOD.
billfinger : that’s a comment that I have thought of when I see him. I figured that his mom would be short and oh-so-much less overpowering than him.
I'm so glad that they gave Ted Cassidy more lines as the show progressed. He really was a great actor.
bloemundude & he was a very intelligent & intellectual man who wrote & produced many series && a few films😉
He was! I don't think he ever got the admiration and respect he deserved in his lifetime.
I love the Addams Family. There will never be another show like that this one. I always wanted to live in their house.
They jumped to it without a second thought. I mean this dark show is full of warmth and sunshine. It makes my heart full
The episodes featuring Lurch are so good and funny. Ted Cassidy played that part so well. No other Lurch has had his charisma and "good looks" lol. They just can't copy the character he made his own. His portrayal of Lurch will always be the one I remember when I think of Lurch. He gave the character body.
Ted Cassidy had such a presence about him. Yes,he was VERY handsome,but there was just something else about him. He carried himself better then much smaller men. He had charisma,charm.
Lurch is Ted Cassidy. Ted Cassidy made Lurch
Absolutely true 👏
I'm Sean Cassidy, Ted's son. I am so happy to read all the kind comments.
Jc, Lurch could Lurch with the best of them!
"I like the funnies." My favorite Lurch line since I saw this many years ago
I always answer my phone with 'You rang?'.
“You’re sloppy and inefficient.”
Gomez and Morticia are excellent parents because they know the foundation to great parenting is being loving partners. They love each other, love their children, and treat everyone with respect.
I always thought they were the most well adjusted and loving family- especially for those days!
I saw some 'behind the scenes' thing about this show a couple of years ago. Carolyn Jones was a VERY accomplished actress......and she apparently LOVED playing Morticia.
I highly recommend you watch Carolyn Jones Morticia and more. A great biography special on her and her career. She loved doing the character and the show because it was so much fun and unlike many other shows at the time with its very weird, witty macabre humor.
Her sister was also an actress, Jennifer Jones. She was a successful film actress as well as being very pretty. But overall I prefer Carolyn's warmth and humor.
One of the things I enjoy about this show is how much the actors/actresses put into their roles. I think everyone portraying a member of the family had fun performing here.
@@galebailey5583 interesting that most of these comments are females and about Morticia. She really was a cultural icon of her time, I wonder if she received the accolades from that or did it take years of retrospect to find out
Who wouldnt?
Carolyn Jones as morticia is amazing. There have now been a few actresses play the role, but she is still the best.
agreed + the same goes for Julie Newmar being the best Catwoman
Agree
Best all around Addams cast. No offense to others. This is the one that worked best, together.
Absolutely
Beautiful too.
I love their marriage so much, Gomez is just so in love with Morticia
Who wouldn't be in love with Morticia ?
Their chemistry and charm is so infectious you cant help but smile watching them. Its like a pure shot of dopamine.
"It's impossible...
that blonde's have more fun" 😂
I love this couple.
No other character couples displayed such love for each other. John Astin's Gomez made you believe how much he loved Carolyn Jones Character of Morticia and had you laughing at the same time. Only Raul Julia and Angelica Houston have been able to get right so far. Really miss Raul Julia. What a rare actor he was. But I think the original Gomez John Astin is still alive.
MANY REMAKES INCLUDING MOVIES WITH FAMOUS CELEBRITIES BUT NONE COMES CLOSE TO JOHN ASTIN AND CAROLYN JONES AS THE ORIGINAL GOMEZ & MORTICIA!
The same thing for Ted Cassidy and Jackie Coogan as the original Lurch and Uncle Fester.... As Morticia and Gomez I must admit that I liked a lot Anjelica Huston and Raúl Julia, but still I rather Carolyn Jones and John Astin every day.
The whole television cast outshines the movie's questionable ensemble .
@@gomongio I agree
gomongio I really wasn’t a fan of the movie’s Uncle Fester. This one was much better!
Richard Burriesci Agree absolutely!
*"I like the funnies."*
I respect Lurch.
We need more wholesome comedy that everyone can watch
Problem is that not all people would appreciate it. But well. Their loss
unfortunately we'll never have wholesome comedies like this anymore just like there'll never be good pop music anymore
Lurch was a gem, definitely the funniest part of the episode. I'll miss him and his actor, RIP
he died so young (aged 46) too.
He was great as an alien on the Twilight Zone..." don't go, it's a cookbook ".
That was Richard Kiel who also played "Jaws" in a couple of James Bond movies. He lived into his 70's.@@Embur12
@@phil2u48 My bad that was jaws...
@@Embur12 How could you mix the two up?
They played the joke straight through. Usually these episodes have the big comedic reveal moment. Fantastically written.
The hint of a smile Morticia gives during the intro and the smile she gives at 5:30 are truly attractive and beautiful
Is it me or does seem way better than the new stuff they make now about the Addams
“Lurch is so vivacious”😂👌🏾
“Its his most outstanding characteristic” 🚬
How did I ever miss THIS episode?! This is the most dialog Lurch has had that I can remember.
😂
What I loved about the Munsters and the Addams Family is in the end it showed happy families who really loved and cared for each other. Especially with Gomez and Morticia. He was crazy about her! 🤣I love it! Such a rarity to see something like this in entertainment these days.
All these years and they still can get me laughing ! This kind of humour is ageless !
I love this show! So beautifully written and with a talented cast!!!

She acted as the woman who sold Barney a bad car in the Andy Griffith show as well
@@whimsymaker Oh somehow I've missed that episode. I love that show. I'll have to look for it!🙂
She acted in over 120 movies and TV shows. Going back to the early 1940s. She was a great actor.
I wish I could marry into the Addams. They’re such a sweet family.
John Astin and Carolyn Jones.. So great together - A genuine chemistry. Even as Morticia, she was stunning.
ESPECIALLY as Morticia!
Did you know they were really into each other.? Sadly for them it ended quickly 2 years I think
The show (in my opinion) is so much better than movie adaptations. The strange and unusual behavior is charming. The newer adaptations are just in your face and trying so hard to be edgy. This is a family that thinks they are completely normal when they are actually uniquely dark. Fantastic execution and interpretation.
You have to love even for their fascination for th macabre they love and enjoy each other's company and defend their family
and I think this works better for comedy too.
For me since I only ever watched a few re-runs of the animation and "The Addams Family" and "The Addams Family Values" This being the first time I actually watched this version. I'd say "The Addams Family" and "The Addams Family Values" weren't terrible. Though considering I'm 22 I have a soft spot for the older movies.
Javier Whitefield I’m 20, so I also grew up with the movies. I liked them until I watched this show. 😂

This is comedy gold. what brilliance of writing and delivery and making it seem so effortless. 'you rang?' ... 'no You rang' love this family.
Cutest,sexiest housemaid's uniform.
Love this series. The on camera chemistry of the cast is only rivaled by a few other shows from that era. The romance between Morticia and Gomez smolders. Can almost feel the heat every time he is near her. Carolyn Jones had thee most mellifluous, soothing voice.
John Astin has admitted that there was a mutual attraction between he and Carolyn Jones.
@@jacquelinejoyce8066 there was something FOR SURE!
I made my Mom teach me how to snap my fingers so I could snap along with the intro
That's funny. I taught my niece for the same reason. I had forgotten until you mentioned it.
I could do my right hand, but not my left. My left hand fingers don't have the same memento or strength.
That's nice
I need a rack. Cheaper than a chiropractor.
This should tell you how much they love Lurch.
"You Rang?" So simple yet so satisfying.
Carolyn Jones was beautiful & certainly played the part of Morticia brilliantly. R.I.P.
I love how the actress who plays Lurch’s fiery mother also plays the grandmother on The Waltons
Ellen Corby. She plays the lady who runs McKittrick Hotel in Hitchcock's Vertigo
That's who she was? Never made the connection
GOOD LORD!! lol.
She was also the unscrupulous woman who sold Barney his first car (a lemon) on the Andy Griffith Show.
Ellen Corby was in over 120 movies & TV shows. She was a wonderful "character" actor for over 30 years before she became Grandma Walton .
I almost thought Thing was going to give her the finger.
Me too!
I was wishing...!
Did people even do the Flip or the Finger thing back in those days? Do you know when , where or how it started in the first place??? 🖐🖖👆✌️🤞🤙👌🤟🖕🤷♀️
@@kathrynbillinghurst188 I don’t know when or where it started, but “flying the bird” was a thing back then
@@tanya5322 I think Rose 🌹 did it in The Titanic , but I thought it might have been a little modern twist. 🌹🖕🌹😆
Ted Cassidy was hilarious here. First acting hapless then he really dives into it. CJ and JA as the maid and butler becoming increasingly more exasperated while trying to remain understanding makes it funnier.
👋i hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity love and peace 💞❤️🕊️🕊️ all over the world! Happy New year 🎆 🙏🌍
I'm originally from Canada currently living in California ☀️☀️and you where are you from if i may ask?
The episodes where Lurch has more of a speaking role are some of the best!
OK OK MORTICIA AND GOMEZ ARE THE LITERAL THE BEST COUPLE I KNOW OF, on the screen and in reality, seriously I wish I saw this
Relationship goals, right?
I had the same thought just a moment ago :) I dare to say that even as a fictional couple, they are wonderful role models. Their ego's are outrageously playful but they never cross the line by using hurtful, condescending words or expecting others to make amends. Passionate and nurturing, indeed the best relationship goals.
i cannot stress how much i love Ted Cassidy picking up Ellen Corby like a child picking up a kitten.
Grandma Walton!
