Wissenswertes
The shot during the opening credits in which the Addams Family members are sitting down in a line with each doing the hair of the one before is a remake of a similar group shot in the first-season episode Thing Is Missing (1965).

Zitate
First Cop: Sorry, folks, but there's been complaints about the noise.
Morticia Addams: But this is a holiday, and a very special holiday for the Addams family. Everyone here is a relative.
Uncle Fester: [brings in the crooks] I'm sorry, you're mistaken, Morticia, these two aren't.
First Cop: Well... Bones Lafferty and Louie the Lard?
Gomez Addams: Oh, you must be mistaken, Officer; these are members of our family.
[Fester shakes his head]
Boss Crook: No, no, no. No, we, we, we, we just said that... we're not members. Oh, but the lion, a lion! In, in the basement, and a lady flew right out the window!
Little Bo Peep: That was no lady, it was a pterodactyl.

Fond memories of watching this before Trick or Treating

As stated by others, this is not as well-crafted as the more recent movies, but this was a pilot attempt to revive the original series in 1977.

Nearly all the cast returned, and new young children (Wednesday Junior and Puglsey Junior) were also added. Unlike the sound stage original, this special was shot on video in a real house, with props added, including good ol' Thing.

But, like many other shows that made the black and white to color transformation, the Addams' gallows dark humor seems lost in a bright colorful world of early video tape. Still, hats off to the performance of the original cast especially John Astin, Caroline Jones, Jackie Coogan and Ted Cassidy.
