Overview
A satirical inversion of the ideal of the perfect American nuclear family, they are an eccentric wealthy family who delight in everything grotesque and macabre, and are never really aware that people find them bizarre or frightening. In fact, they themselves are often terrified by "normal" people.

34 episodesAired 1964
Season 1 consists of 34 episodes and established the iconic characters and the show's subversive humor: that the "monstrous" Addams family was actually the most loving, stable, and well-adjusted family on television compared to their "normal" neighbors.
Season 2
30 episodesAired 1965
Season 2 of The Addams Family (1965–1966) continued the sitcom's run of 30 episodes, leaning further into the absurd and cementing the show’s legacy as a cult classic. While 1960s television was rarely serialized, Season 2 expanded the lore of the Addams world and introduced more of their extended, "unusual" family members.
