This is now officially an Addams family appreciation post
In order to depict such purity and love in a m/f relationship, one must first set the foundation that these people are odd and not the norm. (per media standards)
They cared about their children, their children’s interests, and wanted the kids to always be true to themselves. How peculiar!
Gomez and Morticia never showed negative jealousy towards each other’s past love interests. Even going to far as complimenting them for being special to their true love. How bizarre!
They could forgive almost any character flaw in a friend or relative. The only thing that could not be forgiven was betrayals and pastels. Weird amirite?
Morticia is a woman’s woman. She allies herself with other women instead of competing with them. She even seeks to understand women different from herself and her beliefs. Strange.
Gomez wants Morticia to have whatever Morticia wants. He doesn’t give her permission, he actively supports her and motivates her. Fa-reaky.
I seem to recall once reading a review that said that Gomez and Morticia were the only couple on television in the 1960s whom you could actually imagine producing children.
descend from the stairs as all the waiters serenade you
complain loudly about the times you live in
wave your arms and sing about Omar Sharif
if Wednesday, only eat white food
jump on a table
start dancing
order five miso soup, four seaweed salad, three soy burger dinner, two tofu dog platter, one pasta with meatless balls (it tastes the same if you close your eyes), and thirteen orders of fries
In the olden days, if footage was not used in a film, it was either destroyed or erased so they could reuse the reel, because it was cheaper than storing unused film.
Google the BBC’s lost archives to find out more.
I’ve seen a few compilations online that were made for holiday parties or wrap parties. That may be why we still have these today.
