Sometimes I wish I had cable.

Somebody else had an Addams Family marathon recently, Family Channel perhaps? Anywhoo, I want them on DVD. When will that happen, and how many seasons were there?

[Jamie Tate]

Hallmark had a marathon today. Caught the last three hours.

I'd love those! Sure wish I had cable or the Dish:)

Only hoping for an "Addams Family" DVD box set!...add the "Munsters" to the wish list also...

They don't do TV like that anymore...I love those shows:)

My girlfriend and I watched 2 hours yesterday in the early evening 6 thru 7.30. It was fun. Hope the show makes it DVD sometime. Always liked it better than The Munsters.

Ted Cassidy (Lurch/Thing) was 6 feet 9 inches tall. Here he is pictured with Ken Weatherwax (Puglsey Addams) and Lisa Loring (Wednesday Addams) c. 1964.

I wish TVLand would bring back The Addams Family. I, too, like it more than The Munsters, which TVLand has been showing for quite some time. I was able to catch some of the Hallmark Channel's marathon this weekend and really enjoyed seeing The Addams Family again. I really appreciate its silliness. What great characters Lurch, Cousin It, and Thing were (not to mention Morticia and Gomez).
