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.
A short-lived run by today’s standards has not lessened this family’s cultural influence. From comics to TV shows to Broadway productions, the Addams family has found success in nearly every type of media that exists. With such a large following that continues to grow with each additional revival, these lesser-known facts might surprise even the biggest fans!
