The Addams Family
51Watch it awake.
The joke is the neighbors. The marriage and the children are the part to keep.
The review
The joke, which the country got immediately in 1964, is that the frightening family is the healthy one. They like each other. The parents desire each other and are not embarrassed. The children are included. The neighbors, who have the right lawn, are the ones living a nervous lie. For two seasons it was a solid hit, and the hit was this reversal.
The limit is that nobody works, and a house with no labor is a fantasy even when the affection is true. Say that. Then keep the affection. I would rather a child see this than a comedy in which the family is the target. Watch one and ask who in the episode was ashamed of their own house, and whether the show took the shame's side. It usually does not. That is rarer than the costumes.

Keep The Addams Family in the record.

Live Historic number 51. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry and Piety and Courage and Republic are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Doogie Kameāloha, M.D.
63 instead of 51
Doogie Kameāloha, M.D. is still a comedy show, and it scores 63 instead of 51. What you gain is industry: Medicine as a craft she has to practice inside the rules of a hospital.
The eight
- 4Industry
He has a fortune and no visible labor. The lack of work is the show's real limit.
- 8Household
A husband, a wife, and children who like each other are the premise, and it holds.
- 3Piety
They have a reverence for their own dead and their own house, odd and genuine.
- 4Courage
They are not afraid of the neighbors' opinion, which is a small, real courage.
- 4Republic
The public is a suburb they treat politely and will not pretend to be.
- 5Temperance
The strange appetites are a joke, and the joke is not at a child's expense.
- 6Truth
The neighbors' idea of a normal house is the lie. This house tells the truth about its loves.
- 7Stewardship
A child can inherit a picture of a family that is glad to be in the same room.
