Actor Ted Cassidy, in his “Lurch” voice, punctuated the lyrics with words like neat, sweet, and petite. The song’s arrangement was dominated by a harpsichord and featured finger snaps as percussive accompaniment. The television series featured a memorable theme song, written and arranged by longtime Hollywood composer Vic Mizzy. After Shawn’s 1987 retirement, the characters were welcomed back to The New Yorker. Shawn regarded his magazine as targeting a more refined readership and did not want it associated with characters who could be seen on television by just anybody. During the original television run of The Addams Family television series, The New Yorker editor William Shawn refused to publish any Addams Family cartoons, though he continued to publish other Charles Addams cartoons.
The series was shot in black-and-white and aired for two seasons in 64 half-hour episodes (Septem– September 2, 1966). In 1964, the ABC-TV network created The Addams Family television series based on Addams’s cartoon characters. They have since been adapted to other media, including television series (both live and animated), films, video games and a musical. They originally appeared as an unrelated group of 150 single-panel cartoons, about half of which were originally published in The New Yorker between their debut in 1938 and Addams’s death in 1988. The Addamses are a satirical inversion of the ideal American family an eccentric, wealthy clan who delight in the macabre and are unaware, or do not care, that other people find them bizarre or frightening. The Addams Family characters include Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Lurch, Grandmama, Wednesday, Pugsley, Pubert Addams, and Thing. The Addams Family is a group of fictional characters created by American cartoonist Charles Addams.
