The Addams Family (1964 TV series)

Epic card · No. 9586

The Addams Family is an American Gothic sitcom based on Charles Addams's New Yorker cartoons. With an ensemble cast, the 30-minute television series took the unnamed characters in the single-panel gag cartoons and gave them names, backstories, and a household setting. The series was spearheaded by David Levy, who created and developed it with Donald Saltzman in cooperation with cartoonist Addams, who gave each character a name and description. Shot in black-and-white, The Addams Family aired for two seasons on ABC from September 18, 1964, to April 8, 1966, for a total of 64 episodes — its opening theme was composed and sung by Vic Mizzy. The show was originally produced by head writer Nat Perrin for Filmways, at General Service Studios in Hollywood, California. Amazon now owns the rights to the series through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
