CREEPY. KOOKY. And altogether, er, ooky. Memory burning finger-clicking theme heralded ever-so-slightly darker brand of supernatural sitcom shenanigans than the contemporaneous THE MUNSTERS. That family roll call in full: parents Gomez and Morticia, Uncle Fester, manservant Lurch (“You raaaaaang?”), and kids Pugsley and Wednesday. And lest we forget, a disembodied hand in a box (Thing). Fun if predictable antics ensued in their suitably spooky pile.

Charles Addams originally suggested naming Pugsley Pubert. The censors declined. The name didn’t pop up until those awful movies in the 1990’s.

The cartoon spinoff by Hanna-Barbera AND Halas-Batchelor was absurdly coproduced by Tyne-Tees (who owned Halas-Batchelor).
Meaning the voice of PUgsley, one Jodie Foster has worked for the eminent Northeastern broadcaster.

That’s interesting to know.
Jodie Foster did a few voices for cartoons before her live acting career started to pick up, one being in the 1970s Charlie Chan cartoon.
