The Addams Family 1982 is the animated reboot of the live action show done RIGHT
Though the series was created to harness the success of the 1991 movie the series itself wasn't a movie tie in but rather the reboot of the original 60s TV show with some new flavour of the 90s and it worked Thus series doesn't feel like you watch some cartoon but rather the original 60s sitcom in the animated form and without the laugh track You can feel it right from the start because the iconic intro song is back baby. And the new rendition is as good as the original .of course some things were tomed down ( like Gomez live for cigars is omitted) but it doesn't make the show more childish and dumb it's quite the opposite the animated form helps the show to shine even more showing more crazy shenanigans and slapstick which the live action format couldn't allow .
The characters are also great thanks to the great actors who portray them. I even can't use the term voice but rather play or portray because they don't just voice the characters they acct like it is an actual live action show . John Astin is back to play Gomez nearly 30 years after the 60s live action ended and boy he's having a blast being Gomez again though he sounds a bit different than in the 60s series but he still has the same energy of naive childlike Gomez we now and love Morticia is portrayed by Nancy Linari and she fits her role like a glove. Carolyn would be proud of how good her chemistry with John's Gomez is. Than there's uncle Fester my 2nd favourite character after Gomez played by Rip Taylor 2nd best TV series Fester ater the goated Jacke Coogan from the original show. ( I didn't mention Christopher Lloyd because I compared Festers from TV shows) Love his crazy inventions and personality. Granny Frump here is portrayed by the legendary Carol Channing. She actually has a real business un this shiw doing fortune telling via her "psychic hotline" while trying to find a boyfriend. If course they're Wednesday and Pugsley ( played by Debi Derryberry & Jeannie Elias) with their crazy shenanigans they managed to avoid the fate of many kid characters in the cartoon remaining very entertaining and not annoying.. And if course Addsms loyal butler Lurch portrayed by Jim Cummings. There are also a set of the original characters who serve as the antagonists. The Normanmeyers. An absolutely normal family portrayed by Rob Paulsen,Edie McClurg and Dick Beals. While Norman & Normina despise Addams for their freaky & spooky nature and try by all means to get rid of them their son NJ likes them and befriend Wednesday and Pugsley . He tries to convince his parents to leave Addams alone .
The episodes themselves tell various story from Spooky family everyday life . My fave one is"Thr Day Gomez failed" when he tried to fail at anything as his new challenge because he found out that he simply couldn't fail at anything . I also like "Dead and Breakfast" where the family turned their house into hotel as part of Wednesday 's and Pugsley's school project and had to deal wit the health inspector ( sent by Normanmeyers) and an actual hotel robber as their guests .
Overall thus show us perfect if you want to watch a proper Addams Family tv show but you don't like black & white shows or you liked the original sitcom and want to see a mire modern take on it.
