With John Astin, Nancy Linari, Debi Derryberry, Jeannie Elias. Gomez and Morticia Addams, along with their children Wednesday and Pugsley, are just an ordinary American family facing the challenges of ordinary American life, with a few monsters, ghosts and psychopaths thrown in for good measure. Sam Hilliard, a truant officer, visits the Addams family because neither of the children has ever set foot in school. He convinces Morticia and Gomez to meet with the principal, Miss Comstock. Miss Comstock, who doesn't think much of Mr. Hilliard, persuades the Addams to put Wednesday and Pugsley in school, but also asks Hilliard to revisit the Addams home.
The Addams Family is an Americananimated series based on the eponymous comic strip characters by Charles Addams and is the second cartoon show to feature the Addams (the first was the 1973 series). It ran from September 12, 1992 to November 6, 1993 on ABC and was produced by Hanna-Barbera (producers of the 1973 series). The series' development began in the wake of the 1991 Addams Family feature film. Two seasons were produced.
Plot[edit]
Geared towards children, much of the family's macabre nature was toned down. Unlike in the live action series, Uncle Fester loves explosives and blowing himself up. In order for the series to fit with other Saturday morning cartoons, plot lines were geared around the family living in the bright, cheerful town of Happydale Heights and facing some kind of threat from a series of recurring villains or individuals who either wanted to force the Addamses from their home or capture one of them (usually Uncle Fester) for nefarious purposes.
The series introduces the Normanmeyer family that lived next door to the Addams. Norman and Normina Normanmeyer despised them for their lifestyle being an affront to typical suburban living with the exception of their son N.J. Episodes dealing with the Normanmeyers usually involved Norman and Normina, trying to rid Happydale Heights of the Addams Family or spying on the Addams; N.J. is friends with Wednesday and Pugsley, inevitably leading to intrafamilial conflict.
At the end of several episodes, when the conflict was resolved, Gomez usually suggested a family dance. The first suggestion for the dance was usually thrown out because of some weird requirement. Uncle Fester is usually the one to point out the reason the first suggestion should not be accepted albeit. Sometimes, Gomez and Uncle Fester found themselves in a role reversal with Uncle Fester making the suggestion and Gomez pointing out the reason not to follow it. The second suggestion was accepted and there was usually a requirement for that dance too.

Production[edit]
New artistic models of the characters were used for this series, though still having a passing resemblance to the original comics. Lurch, for instance, has blue skin in the animated series. The Addams Family Theme, re-recorded with a basso profondo lead vocal, was reused as the theme for the series.
