Spooky And All Together Kooky: Behind the Addams Family

They were some of the most mysterious and kooky characters on television, but even after 50 years off the air, The Addams Family is still considered one of the most memorable shows of all time. This feat is even more impressive when we consider that it was only broadcast for two seasons! On ABC’s network, the show had a total of 64 episodes aired between September 18, 1964, and April 8, 1966.

With such a large following that continues to grow with each additional revival, these lesser-known facts might surprise even the biggest fans!
