 | The Addams Family Sing-Along The Addams Family is an American television series based on the characters in Charles Addams' New Yorker cartoons. The 30 minute series was shot in black-and-white and aired for two seasons in 64 installments on ABC from September 18, 1964 to April 8, 1966. It is often compared to its working-class rival, The Munsters, which ran for the same two seasons and achieved somewhat higher Nielsen Ratings. For a short time in 1996 reruns of it aired on Nickelodeon. It was originally produced by Filmways, Inc. at General Service Studios in Hollywood, California. Successor company MGM Television (via The Program Exchange for broadcast syndication, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment for home video/DVD) owns the rights to the show. The Addamses are a close-knit extended family with decidedly macabre interests. They all have supernatural abilities, although no rationale for their powers is ever explicitly given. The very wealthy, endlessly enthusiastic Gomez Addams is madly in love with his refined wife Morticia. Along with their two children, Wednesday and Pugsley, Uncle Fester and Grandmama, they reside in an ornate, gloomy mansion, attended by their servants, Lurch, the towering butler, and Thing, a hand that usually appears out of a small wooden box. Occasionally, episodes would feature relatives or other members of their weird subculture, such as Cousin Itt or Morticia's older sister Ophelia. Much of the humor derives from their "culture clash" with the rest of the world. They invariably treat normal visitors with great warmth and courtesy, even though their guests often have evil intentions. They are puzzled by the horrified reactions to their good-natured, if extremely bizarre behavior. Contrarily, they view the tastes of the normal world with generally tolerant suspicion. For example, Fester once cites a neighboring family's meticulously maintained petunia patches as evidence that they are "nothing but riff-raff." The tone was set by series producer Nat Perrin, close friend of Groucho Marx and writer of several Marx Brothers films. Perrin created story ideas, directed one episode, and rewrote every script. Much of the dialog is his (albeit uncredited). As a result, Gomez, with his sardonic remarks, backwards logic, and ever-present cigar (pulled from his breast pocket already lit), has been frequently compared to Groucho Marx. In addition, the series often employed the same type of zany satire and screwball humor seen in the Marx Brothers films. It lampooned politics ("Gomez, The Politician" and "Gomez, The People's Choice"), the legal system ("The Addams Family in Court"), Beatlemania ("Lurch, The Teenage Idol"), and Hollywood ("My Fair Cousin Itt"). |

In 1998, cable network Fox Family Channel produced a new version of the classic sitcom, alongside Saban Entertainment, entitled The New Addams Family. This version featured an entirely different cast and was well-received (in contrast to Addams Family Reunion). The show reworked several storylines from the original series while incorporating modern elements, jokes, and references into the episodes. The show even had a new, Mexican-type theme song. |

 | The Archies - Jingle Jangle (Original 1969 Music Video) Originally broadcast on "The Archie Comedy Hour" in 1969 on CBS on Saturday mornings, this music segment would later be shown in the 1970 CBS prime time special "The Archie Sugar, Sugar / Jingle Jangle Show". It was also broadcast on the Ed Sullivan show on CBS on January 4, 1970. The last time it made an appearance on television was in 1973 on the CBS Saturday morning show "Everything's Archie" (not to be confused with "The Archie Show" whose theme song was "Everything's Archie"), which was a 30 minute repackaging of material from the original "Archie Show" and "The Archie Comedy Hour" segments. Like all the rest of the music segments from "The Archie Comedy Hour" the "Jingle Jangle" music segment was not included in the syndication package when "The Archies" went into syndication in 1976. As a result of them being trimmed, or maybe because they were already missing, with the exception of "Sugar, Sugar", all of the song segments from "Comedy Hour" are missing and are no longer in the Filmation archives. They are presumed to be lost forever, unless copies are ever located in private libraries. The copy of "Jingle Jangle" that you see here was pulled from the Ed Sullivan archives, hence the faded color. This copy is also included as a "bonus" in the Genius Products "Archie's Funhouse" DVD boxset. I was the person who had the Ed Sullivan Estate track down this video, and then gave the information to the people producing the "Archie's Funhouse" DVD boxset. In the original airing on "The Archie Comedy Hour", Hot Dog introduces this music segment, stating that his heart felt all "jingle jangle" since meeting his girlfriend. This introduction was left out when it was broadcast on Ed Sullivan, as he introduced the segment himself. |
