The Addams Family, a fictional family created by American cartoonist Charles Addams, is an exception. The delightfully quirky, old money clan who revel in the macabre lasted only two seasons, 1964-66 on ABC. “The

I didn’t want to be part of that.” After achieving commercial success

2023-06-24T01:13:02+00:00
