The Addams Family
When we’re together, every night is Halloween.
Created by Charles Addams
On ABC
A gleefully macabre sitcom that inverts suburban normalcy through the lens of a loving, eccentric family who find comfort in the grotesque and horror in the ordinary.
A satirical inversion of the ideal of the perfect American nuclear family, they are an eccentric wealthy family who delight in everything grotesque and macabre, and are never really aware that people find them bizarre or frightening. In fact, they themselves are often terrified by "normal" people.
