This show had it ALL--the original thinking man's unconventional humor, sex appeal, the breaking and questioning of the conventions of conformity as well as looking at the world in a unique, offbeat frame of mind!! This show perfected the genre of "looking at the world from the opposite side of the lense."
Innovative, without a doubt--the one-liners, sight gags, catch phrases!
Carolyn Jones and John Astin were the consummate performers in every way--the sex appeal, the humor, the acting ability, their natural chemistry.
You just couldn't help but feel sorry for Lurch though. No matter what happens, he opts for the misery.
Night Court, Get Smart and The (1964) Addams Family--The perfect trio!
