"You might find a nice girl to be miserable with." 😂😂😂
Life so accurately summed up in one line.
That's sweet of Wednesday to say
Lucy Charnick OMG!
@@koradestiny Wednesday is always right, but she is too young to understand men
The way she said is what makes it the best
Gomez was the smoothest man alive.
Amazingly, he still is. He's a teacher at John Hopkins University.
@@Tempusverum Fr?
have much fear mortis is here I believe he’s the last living cast member sadly
@@stingerjohnny9951 I guess he is
@@stingerjohnny9951 but I don't think he's a teacher, he is probably retired
11:16 Lurch's little smile as he gently pats his massive hand on Wednesday's tiny cheek is so precious. What a sweet moment...
🥰
☺️
Lurch confessing that his father had wanted him to become a jockey ... that line conjurs up the funniest visual in my mind.
Check out the Japanese western he made. Absolutely hilarious and only Ted Cassidy could have done it.
Hilarious beyond heart attack no joke!!🤔🤔😃😃😃😃😃losfer words !!🤔😃
😂
....ha funny....um thankfully no horses were ever forced having to death this big half human half God knows what beast..😃🤔😅😎
Lol, and how Lurch fainted X3
Despite all their eccentricities, the thing that surprises me the most is how much they care about their butler.
Lurch was one of the family!
I know! I'd like to work for them myself.
My favorite point about the Addams is that they care about each other. That was one of my problems with the Munsters, as much as they "loved" each other, they still seemed to need to needle each other in a way that the Addams never did.
I guess its the satire.. in the real world usually classy people treat others as trash..
@Judy Snyder 👍
The reason the addams stand out is because they are so kind
wow that's really true lol. they're just misunderstood because they're strange
In their ways!
Yeah people always confused richness with kindness 😹😹
ya and not that weird
Well educated and cultured
Seeing Gomez and Morticia yell "NO!" At the top of their lungs was hilarious
Yes. That was very funny 😄
One of the few times you see them genuinely freak out 🤣
@@stingerjohnny9951 Right🤣
It's weird though!! they play operation and shock each other plus throw axes and swords..yet lurch getting air lol
It was the look on Wednesday and lurches face, like what could possibly be the matter
That smile when Gomez said "You're one of the family" to Lurch... so sweet. These are the little moments that really set this series apart.
🌟🌟🤗
Lurch wasn’t technically a full Addams, but he had the heart of an Addams
Once you live in the Addams house, you’re automatically part of the Addams family
The DNA Addam's had in the Heart and the Soul 🙏😔
Wednesday teaching gentle giant Lurch ballet might just be the most wholesome thing i can think of.
Hilarious, too!
ted cassidy was so good with kids and every time i see him with kids unable to stay in character cause he just gets so soft? boy i die
My favorite part was how Gomez and Morticia nearly had simultaneous heart attacks when Lurch was on the verge of crushing their baby
Yes
@Teslamoanials Derived LOL that was not a smile....it was his "charming leer"
Despite the family quirks, they're one of the most functional families I've seen in a show....or in real life for that matter

Still a better family than the Kardashians
I'm so glad Morticia went to the ball to help Lurch. Seeing him sitting alone with no one getting near him broke my heart. 😢
Oh I didn't know the woman was morticia
Oh yeah but Lurch didn't know that and he had confidence to dance 🩰
In some of the interviews, Lisa Loring, Wednesday, said that Ted Cassidy was one of the sweetest, kindest and funniest actors she worked with, and the kids just loved him. You can see that when Wednesday offers to teach Lurch to dance.
🥰
"I like being Miserable" Lurch is my spirit animal.
Extra Spooky sounds like my husband
Oh my goodness that smile I fell out, and him saying "MORE MORE" and dancing with the senorita😅😅
that's funny 😁
My spirit animal is wednesday
Because i hate pugsly adams
The funniest episodes were the ones that centered around Lurch
How silly that they cancelled this wonderful show after only 2 seasons. They could have run off a whole plot about Lurch meeting a similar woman and settling down with a family. Better than the Friends Ross and Rachel saga. Still a very entertaining show even after all these years. The black and white just makes it better.
they did a remake series with additional episodes.
@@toomanyaccounts yes I know but no where near as good as the original.
The Munsters had the same 2 years as the Addams Family, but for whatever reason they couldn't compete with the likes of Batman.
They should have met the Munsters.
Lachnana 61 really we can blame when TV shows started transitioning from black-and-white to color
8:50 Morticia's face when the dance instructor grabbed Gomez and started dancing with him 😂
That (*clap "MaMA, your axe!") look!
Good catch. It was only one second, I had to go back and look, but there it is.
@Edith. I love her face expression to that’s the face of a jealous wife or girlfriend. She still kept looking at her even when she was dancing with Lurch pardoned my spelling on Lurch. Blessings from Las Vegas.
That's the look on every girlfriend wife's face a sign of jealousy
The face of every wife
"You might find a nice girl to be miserable with..." I love the way Wednesday delivers that line. I'm also touched by the relationship between Wednesday and Lurch; they have a real connection.
Rip Lisa Loring
There is something about a cute little girl befriending a monstrous man that melts our hearts!
I know! (●♡∀♡) The scene between Wednesday and Lurch talking is such the most cutest thing ever. I love how he sweetly patted her cheek at 11:16.
@@brittanyc.4540 I Know. God Bless. ☮
Except in Frankenstein he murders the little girl in that
Theodore Crawford Cassidy was an excellent actor. Sadly he died far too early. As Lurch he was brilliant, especially in this episode. Lurch was a kind warmhearted lonely giant.
He was a ZOMBIE.
Tom Evans or a Frankenstein’s monster
I believe this episode is the most he ever spoke in his life.
This lurch is a weird character , lurch is a Casanova a real player, and such an upbeat guy except whenever he is on screen then he is a shy warm-hearted guy
This episode made me think of that. How his life was cut so short. John astin is 90 now and still sharp too. Saw him in an interview from a year ago and kept thinking how I hope to be that sharp if I make it to his age.
"You might find a nice girl to be miserable with." That's the way to go!
"to be miserable WITH..."
I nearly cried when no one wanted to dance with lurch 😢
Me too cause i know how it feels
I couldn’t understand why no one would dance with Lurch. He was so cute
@@hayleyzefox610 Me too. And not being picked for dodge ball.
ME TOO!!!! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
The balloons didn't help.
Since Scooby Doo has met the Addams Family and Batman and Robin, the Addams Family and Batman live in the same universe. So, Lurch could possibly meet Alfred Pennyworth at the Butler’s Ball!
Best timeline.
DomeGD You are correct!
Theodore Crawford Cassidy was there too?
The Crossover Universe that the world needs.
Thanks for sharing your information because I have never realized that nor did I know Alfred's last name.
Lurch was just the greatest. I love how he sits down with Wednesday and his hand is bigger than her head.😁
I know my heart I can't....its so wholesome
Ted Cassidy was fantastic. No one else could have been Lurch.
Yes 👍.
No one has ever compared. He was the one and only.
Lurch is so wholesome
Yes he certainly is
Mr. Cassidy was an excellent actor!
Lurch and Wednesday's friendship is so wholesome.
This whole show was wholesome in a spooky way
They were all wholesome in their odd way.
Seriously, watching Morticia do the twist is the coolest thing ever!!!
It is HOT!
Her bum couldn't look more perfect.
@@extraspooky819 whhhyyy the thoughts!!!
Tight
Yes, would have loved to see her and john travolta dance!!
I can't be the only one that thinks Lurch is kind of cute... I mean he's tall dark handsome and if you pay attention to him he's actually very expressive. Him being such a minimalist you know he's more akin to a Vulcan like Spock or an elf in Lord of the Rings. He's completely capable of expressing himself and showing his feelings and even having them it's just it's more subtle than it is with other people.
I think he's cute ^_^
I think his stoicism is due to his strict professional discretion.
Me too! He’s really endearing in this episode ^_^
I had a crush on Lurch when I was younger. He's cute.
Leonard Nimoy revealed Spock's character actually started out less expressionful but when he improved the eyebrow raise in one episode and it looked good, the scrip writers started having him raise it at various parts in later episodes... same with Lurch's groan. He wasn't meant to speak at all until Ted came up with "you rang"... and John Astin the groan...
_I didn't know fainting was contagious.._
She's so clueless and it's precious.
No matter how you look at it....Lurch is a great dancer and he was a great smile
Lurch was "hot" 😍
I concord!!
I dunno person thing was a better dancer
Especially since the actor who plays him clearly looks like he works out, and can probably bench press Uncle Fester any day.
Those tango moves. Oh, my!
To whoever decided to put the full theme song in with the episodes again: thank you so much. Two snaps for you good sir/madam/friend.
MGM own the material, they can do what they want with it!
@@romeshabeyawardena9978 Yes, yes, yes, they can look just as amateurish as anyone if they so choose.
Yes
@@romeshabeyawardena9978 shut up, he got a point
@@JoJoGunn1956 do you not like this show?
I will never get over what a beautiful Morticia Carolyn Jones is.
What a kind, thoughtful thing Morticia did for poor Lurch.
back when the Adams family was funny wholesome charming kooky and was not trying way to hard to be edgy, evil, devious. it was a nice balance of the odd and adorable.
IMO: Everything after Addams Family Values was straight trash. I fully agree with you.
You would NOT have liked the original comics, then.
There is an intrinsic warmth in the original Addams family. The new writers think making it darker, moody and more sullen will enhance the creep vibe, but the Addams never supposed themselves creepy and only appeared that way to outsiders.
Never really considered that but you are absolutely correct.
Exactly this is so good 😊
“You didn’t shave”
“Señoritas never do”
😂🤣😂 TRUTH
@Return of the Native what?
I’m amazed with some of the jokes they got away with given the time period.
I thought he said, But I never do.
@@stingerjohnny9951I didn't really get the joke
This show is still absolutely amazing. If I ever get married I want to have a relationship like Morticia and Gomez.
Same
"Gomez, darling, control yourself"
"Never!"
I want to be that Gomez.
When lurch touched Wednesdays cheek,heart melting. He's not the big "monster" after all. Then again,Ted Cassidy was known as the gentle giant
spinal decompression is actually a thing now
Gomez was indeed a genius
They didnt have the 'Teeter' back then.
True
Now they strap around the chest and hips. They figured out you are more likely to dislocate all your joints before decompressing the spine otherwise.
I'll tell you, when my back's gone out, I've wished, begged and hoped for one of those babies!
@@jean-paulaudette9246 did you ever get one?
with Morticia and Lurch dancing together, you don't know who to watch.
X-D
When the dance instructress started dancing with Gomez, Morticia looked very surprised, disturbed, and slightly scary. She's like, YOU DARE! 😂😂😂
3:16
Gomez:Shakespeare
Morticia: Milton
Lol
Mario Jimenez this was quite a smart and witty show. As a kid I loved the wacky goth feel. As an adult I enjoy the writing.
So smart
Any episode that focused on Lurch was especially good. The cast look like they had a blast making these. Love these! TY
That is true, very true indeed! And once more: Mr. Cassidy was a wonderful actor with great talent!
This WAS a fun episode. But I remember watching this as a kid back in the 60's and any episode with out Uncle Fester was a disappointment.
Mr22thou how come?
Alia ALMoosa He’s probably at least in his late 50’s.
I loved the episode where Lurchs' Mother visits!
Wednesday was like super sweet back in the originals i wonder what made studios change the personality
THey think sullenness is cooler/edgier. Plus this girl power/batwoman thing. puke
so true, they took the sweetness away.
I absolutely loved Chistina Ricci's portrayal of the character in the movies. She was ultimately creepy in those. =)
@@Tempusverum It really has nothing to do with "girl power". What do you think is wrong with it? Girls shouldn't be treated as objects.
colorbar.s Direct or indirect?
The chemistry between John Astin (Gomez) and Carolyn Jones (Morticia) is freaking amazing ☺️❤️
if you watch any behind the scenes the two admit they were sexually interested in one another but kept it professional while working
They actually were very attracted to each other. Unfortunately, they were both in relationships and we're never able to work it out.
I was so happy when Morticia began to dance with Lurch at the ball. Poor guy was all lonely...
I'm a WALLFLOWER.... was a chortle. But "a jockey!" Was a total LOL. How did he even keep a straight face?
Practice and more practice!
21:53 That was smooth of Lurch. Adjusting his hat while in the tango!
I like how they became lucid for a second when Lurch was about to jump on Wednesday.
They are very adorable family. They didn't see Lurch just a "Butler" but they see him is the one of family. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hard to believe Lurch (Ted Cassidy) was only in his early 30s on this show. I love the addams family.
well hes wearing make up
In most instances he also was Thing.
@@intorainbowzOG Did you notice that "Thing" is sometimes a left hand and sometimes a right hand?
It is unfortunate that these GIANT men all seem to die from heart problems. It seems that the human heart is only capable of lifting liquid so high until it gives up.
@@JesusisJesus Carel Struycken, who played Lurch in the 90s movies, is still alive and still acting at 71 and he's even taller.
Whoa really? I didn't know that!
11:17 His hand is bigger than her entire head.
7:42 “She fainted, sir” lol
I love him trying to flop her around to the music!
20:28 my heart drops to see lurch sitting alone, i just wanna hug him :'(
I absolutely love the way Morticia snaps her fingers at 3:22 . We stan a well educated queen.
Find you a girl that looks like that and ain’t afraid to politely correct you.
When I first viewed this episode I was 8 - 10yo. Seeing Carolyn Jones do her 'Twist' then and forever etched her into my heart. Naturally, there were other boyhood crushes; but no IT girl since has matched Carolyn Jones IMO.
My favorite scene from my favorite episode for just that reason.
She had a definite beauty!
oh yeah
she had a class and dignity that has been lost over the years.
Carolyn Jones just draws you into the show and make you forget everything else. She was so feminine. She fascinates me, God bless her soul.
I'm glad they dedicated an entire episode on Lurch. Now he doesn't just seem like a throw away role.
This episode gave a lot of dialogue to Wednesday and Lurch, with surprise roles... at the expense of Pugsley, Granmama and Fester of course.
Morticia beckoning with finger cymbals!
Caramia!
Take note, ladies. We respond to a woman with finger cymbals.
11:17 look at the sweet smile. I wonder if the actors were friends in real life.
Ted Cassiday who played Lurch had respect for his cast mates and said they were wonderful to work with along with the crew. he began to hate the role because he felt he was typecast by it.
That was such a humane side of Lurch.
@@toomanyaccounts he was especially nice to little Wednesday. Doing everything to try and not scare the poor girl.
Lurch is so stubbornly caring,
Wednesday is so sweet and motivational, or “was”,
Pugsly is such a nice older brother,
Morticia and Gomez are relationship goals
Fester believes in himself,
Grandmama helps in any way she can,
And there is a whole heck of comedy squeezed into this all!
How did anybody not like this series?!
From all the addams family versions, the 1964 version is the best.
this is one of the most heartwarming, kind and cheerful TV series ever. besides jokes and dark humor it teaches you that being diffrent & eccentric can go along with caring and love. Absolute classic. Ted Cassidy - you'll never be forgotten.
This show teaches creepy people can be extremely nice... the other Addam family just teaches there can be creepy people.
I love how the Addams family is always so positive and optimistic, but mostly with negative things! 😂
I love how almost every Addams Family episode ends with them saying they should get someone a gift. They’re so generous. It just wholesome.
One of the things I like about the Addams Family is that the husband and wife are crazy in love with each other, and are encouraging and supportive to one another.
Ted Cassidy, one of the true actors of the day, He was marvelous and this episode is one of the best.
🙃
Wednesday and Lurch doing ballet was the best.Wednesday is adorable.Lurch fits that old saying.He sure is a tall drink of water.
*snaps* “Milton.”
Morticia is wonderful.
Amongst all the other wonderful things, the Addams Family are literate...
Lisa Loring has passed away. This is sad news. She and the rest of the Addams Family were an important part of my childhood. John Astin is the only one left now.
RIP Lisa Loring. And thank you for what you gave.
Let John live.
❤ nice show
Lurch and Wednesday dancing is my favourite scene! They're adorable!
Morticia tastefully shakin' that thang.
My life is now complete.
Yeah, really knocked me out!!
yep, just like doing a burnout in a rolls royce. i can watch a nude cheerleader, but this is better.
she was 100% woman and 100% class.
Morticia's dancing is just so enticing
I love that the Addams are creepy but kind. They never do anything to hurt someone or scare them intentionally.
"Did it ever occur to you that he might not be normal?"
Um Morticia, honey. Please. hahahahahaahahhaha
It's funny how language drifts over time. Back in the 60s, it would have been understood that she was suggesting Lurch might not be straight
I don't care how many remakes of the Addams Family they come
up with, the original ones were
the best!!
It's so nice to see these again, I loved this show when I was young. They were ahead of their time in a lot of ways. The utter love between Gomez and Morticia. Their complete kindness and openness to each other. The idea that it's okay to be who you are was kind of central.
If someone freaked out, screamed and ran away they would calmly theorize on what may have upset them and what they could do about it.
What a lovely little episode. The Addamses might be weird, but they truly love each other! That’s what a family is all about... :)
I forgot there was a time that Lurch spoke.
Does lurch not speak anymore? I haven't seen the movies
@@thonk1914 Nowadays, he just moans and grunts.
@@joeywomer Apparently that was the plan for THIS Lurch as well, but Ted Cassidy improved the famous “You Rang?” line and the writers loved it so much they gave him lines.
Can you believe that they pulled this show? Maybe that's what has made it so great.
I think it was actually a misunderstanding between executives
Richard Budgell I’ve heard some blame how TV shows were transitioning from black-and-white to color at the time
@@AJSSPACEPLACE I think black and white helps the gothic atmosphere.
If anyone really read the Addams Family story line it teaches people to be kind no matter if you look different act different weird or strange or have different ways it takes us to follow our hearts an to treat each other equal.
it's honestly weird seeing Wednesday so innocent and cute with that voice compared to herself in the The Addams family (1991) and Addams family values but I still like the show.
Well, small child versus teenager. Anybody would act differently at those two ages.
@@ChibiPanda8888 I know, i'm just saying, I've grown up on the movies and watching the show is just different for me.
The only sane women are young girls and old ladies.
The sound effects are hilarious. This is one of the best episodes...
Gomez: "You don't know what you're missing Lurch - Mrs Adam's won the Twist Award at the Funeral Directors Ball. They awarded her the Silver Urn"
Wednesday was so freakin' adorable!
I must say Ms. Addams can really move when it come to Dancing,,, Go Girl !!
I like when they have a Ted Cassidy centric episode because he didn’t like his a Lurch job and wanted more lines and screen time.
But he played it so well. I wish he’d embraced it.
Ted Cassidy was a great actor. It takes a lot of talent to do physical comedy and make it look natural.
Is it odd that I I find lurch cute
kirby superstar Not odd at all, he was very cute
Nope
He's just sweet
I don’t find him cute. I FIND HIM ADORABLE!!!!!!
No I find him cute as well!!
"I like being miserable." Eeyore would definitely agree.
Meanwhile, Gomez 'Everyone Loves A Tigger' Addams...
My nickname used to be Eeyore!
Craziest family that ever existed but also no group of people are so warm and cute as they are
🥰
"AHHH QUICK! _THE RACK!"_
18:36
Quick! The Rack!
Gets me everytime
I love how Lurch just takes people. He casually picks up adults like they're nothing.
Hearing Lurch say "Thank you, Thing" was the best thing that happened to me today
Mi very, very, very favorites episodes are the ones that focused on Lurch. No surprise that Lurch is my favorite character.
louisa curiel Mine too
The guy who played lurch was also thing...lurch is telling on himself
Ted Cassidy
Wow really??
It's Ted Cassidy's hand if Lurch is not on screen. If he is then it's one of the producers. Not sure who though.
I knew that!! They never showed both of them in a same scene at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@starladodge sometimes they did, and when they did, they used one of the producers hands
He’s turning a beautiful shade of black and white.
11:17 the most wholesome scene😭 The way Lurch touches Wednesday’s face
3:57 notice the camera-angle is shot from above, showing Lurch's point of view
Great directing!
Laughing so hard. Lurch is so funny in this episode. BEST EPISODE EVER
I AGREE WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is my #1 favorite Addams Family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes me laugh until I cry it's so stinking funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Manly the way that Lurch dances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also have to agree, it is the funniest episode, my favorite part is when Lurch groans in scene 19:53 and it is SO FUNNY.🤗🤣
This is so funny 🤣 😂 and nostalgic for the old days.
I only started watching this show earlier today, but I'm head over heels in love with it. The comedy is perfect, and the writing is great, and I especially love how good everyone is to each other
Amazing how well these have aged, as well as how popular among general audiences they remain. Impressive alone.
My mother was a baby when this came out...And I am enjoying this in 2019..
Same here my mum was 2 when it came out and my dad would have been 5
My grandmother was 5
