When a man claiming to be long-lost Uncle Fester reappears after 25 years lost, the family plans a celebration to wake the dead.

However, it is Gomez that is playing with the trains, not Pugsley.

The thread is [here](https://piefed.social/post/2389880). The rewatch coincides with the episode's original air date, which was 18 September, 1964. In the episode the truancy officer visits the Addams and forces Gomez and Morticia to send Pugsley and Wednesday to school. Wednesday comes home upset because a knight kills an innocent dragon.

positive · AI labelView post →I keep trying to explain to people that demographic/generational theory is both real and ironclad but really you just have to sit and wait: "Why is [thing from 2000s] popular/marketable again 20 years later?" Same reason a movie based on "THE ADDAMS FAMILY" was a $190M blockbuster in 1991.

This coincides with my weekly posting of the original Addams Family strips, and the original airing of the series. The first episode aired 18 September 1964.

On the other hand: original art dies all the time and we creators would *love* a fraction of the attention haters spend saying they don't want reboots. It's called the Attention Economy.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Addams Family movie takes place in 1991. Uncle Fester reappears after 25 years, meaning he went missing in 1966 (the year the original series ended). If it took place today, Uncle Fester would have gone missing right after 9/11

Why do you play as the film's villain? Why do you beat up the Addams Family? Why is the first half of the game so different? youtu.be/Czaek5ALICg
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the 1991 film The Addams Family last night. Love it to pieces, naturally. 5 outta 5 on Letterboxd, loved it back then, love it now. But holy hell, it hits MUCH harder now. The "Gomez hasn't seen Fester in 25 years" plot hits harder to someone who hasn't seen his sister in over two decades.
positive · AI labelView post →Scooby Doo and The Addams Family should have been trilogies. We were truly robbed. And we should have got a special short movie with the two films crossing over like they did with the cartoons.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Addams Family: A perfect movie. Life affirming. A movie full of personal aspirations. The entire cast is perfect. Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston are the dream. Christopher Lloyd feels born to play Fester. Christina Ricci simply is Wednesday. I love Family Values too, but for me this is the peak.

Christopher Lloyd at the height of his power, mugging and noise-making. A movie built around rapid fire gags, each landing with such might as the golden years of The Simpsons. Perfect film.
positive · AI labelView post →If you haven't seen THE ADDAMS FAMILY animated movie (the *first* one btw, *NOOOT* the 2nd one), I couldn't recommend it more. It is MORE of what Charles Addams was doing w/his New York cartoons than ANY other adaptation. It's SOOOO clever, starting w/the music AND the "eyeshadow" Morticia puts on!
