Overview

The Addams Family is an American animated sitcom adaptation of the Charles Addams single-panel comic for The New Yorker. The show was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for Saturday mornings in 1973, and was later rebroadcast the following season. Jackie Coogan and Ted Cassidy, who played Uncle Fester and Lurch, respectively, in the 1960s television series, returned in voice-over roles. The cast also included 10-year-old Jodie Foster, who performed the voice of Pugsley Addams. The show's theme music was completely different and had no lyrics or finger snapping, but retained a recognizable part of the four-note score from the live-action series. Plot The Addams Family consists of husband and wife Gomez and Morticia Addams, their children Wednesday and Pugsley, as well as Grandmama, Uncle Fester, Thing, Cousin Itt, and their butler, Lurch. The Addamses are a close-knit extended family with decidedly macabre interests and supernatural abilities. No explanation for their powers is explicitly given in the series. This series depicts the Addamses on a cross-country road trip, exploring the United States in their Victorian-style creepy camper that resembles their mansion. Along the way, they stop off at various locations and venues. They inadvertently cause mayhem wherever they go due to their unusual interests and mannerisms, their willingness to trust those who probably shouldn't be trusted (although they do occasionally aid others who genuinely need help), and their getting swept up in criminal schemes or problems without their knowledge. Voice cast Lennie Weinrib – Gomez Janet Waldo – Morticia, Grandmama Jackie Coogan – Uncle Fester Cindy Henderson – Wednesday Jodie Foster – Pugsley Ted Cassidy – Lurch John Stephenson – Cousin Itt Pat Harrington Jr. – Various roles Bob Holt – Various roles Herb Vigran – Various roles Don Messick - Various roles Josh Albee - Various roles John Carver - Various roles Howard Caine - Various roles Frank Welker - Various roles (The Addams Family Goes West only, (uncredited))
