My sister and I are both baby boomers and we still laugh about this episode to this very day!😂 Little Wednesday was workin it on OUT and Lurch was gettin down too!😂 We also talk about how Lurch used to roll his eyes around and get lost in the music when he played the harpsichord - lol!😂 The late 60's - good music, good T.V. shows and good times.💙
@@wileecoyote5749 What are you talking about? I know that I'm not a baby, nor am I 70. My point was that I simply recall that decade and enjoyed this and many shows of that time.
@@skylark4901Lol!😂 But of course! Am proud to say I have BOTH on DVD, Including the "Munster Go Home" movie! I'll take those silly little shows over so-called "reality" shows ANY day. I actually laugh more now than when I was young and first watched them!😂
Ted Cassidy was the MAN! The Adams Family was probably the best most wholesome show ever on TV. A loving, nurturing family that encouraged their children not to judge others. Always enjoying life no matter what came their way, generous and full of humor. Compare that to the snarky self centered crap that TV has been shoveling ever since and it's enough to make one weep.
And let's face it, Gomez and Morticia are a relationship goal. A married couple, with kids, who are as stupid for each other as the day they met. I want that.
@Daniel from Texas Yup. That was the whole point of the 1960s series and they did it so well, many never realized its social satire. It was subversive and that's why I loved it, even as a kid. The ones who acted and looked weird were the happiest, most successful in their relationships, and good people while their fellow citizens, who looked very normal and were a facade of social acceptability were actually miserable and were bad spouses, parents, and children and often were greedy, underhanded, dishonest, or downright criminals.
Oh wow, I always remember that episode as it was SO out of left field when that happened. I was maybe 7 or 8 when I first saw it, and it just stunned me to see him move like that!
My favorite Addams moment. I just got done binging the Addams Family again lol. Loved how Morticia used her hands so gracefully. Did all her own knitting too lol
I'd never really watched the Addams Family while growing up. I was aware of them, but I was always a fan of the Munsters. However, I've found the Addams Family recently on a rerun channel. Now I adore it.
This was my Adams Family growing up. These were the reruns I would watch. I thought The actress who played Mortisha was Absolutely Stunningly Beautiful!!
Those moves are actually great. Love how it’s crossed generations and now you can find gifs of it and it’s a meme. Definitely have to watch this version of the Adams family
Right? I’d watched this years ago, but rewatching it, had to admit, little Wednesday was working out! Lurch was funny as h*ll, and the way Morticia was looking at him was too funny!
I smiled throughout this entire video. I'm a Baby Boomer and watched this show religiously as a child. Every single character was a piece of work. But I did crush for Gomez though.
I love how Thing is just a guy under the table, reaching out through a box. The FX are astounding! And yet, he still gets down. Don't let anyone tell you you can't dance!
That was the original plan for Thing. He didn't start out as a separated, sentient hand. Originally he was just a creepy member of the family who hid in small places and only stuck his hand out. Played by the very same actor who played Lurch
Oh shit. I didn't see that coming. Shock one was seeing little Wednesday looking like James Brown. Shock two was seeing big ol Lurch doing a respectable take at the nitty gritty. This was fun to watch.
That's such a cute dance 🥰🥰🥰 I remember watching this show as a kid, on nick at nite I think (I'm 40)? Wednesday is so cute and I loved lurch!!!! And Morticia's dress, the way it was cut on the bottom looked creepy like it crawled, like In the comic 😍
I've never seen that and I watched The Addams Family regularly as a kid. So very cool. Ted grew up in my home state of West Virginia and is a local legend.
Who else thought Thing was going to pull the music while Lurch kept going until he saw Morticia staring at him? It's a classic bashful skit that Bob Hope perfected. ❤
Wow really well done and very funny. Thank you! A cool tribute. If you haven't seen Bobby Banas dance the nitty-gritty check it out. He was also thel choreographer.. Last I heard he was still alive!
There are quite a number of “tribute” performances of the dance on UA-cam, especially by Steven Sayer. In one such video the now-elderly great Bob Banas himself appears (doesn’t dance, though, understandably).
@@hayesman76 wow that is so cool do you remember which one by any chance? I have discovered Steve Sayre and enjoy him very much my current favorite dancer is Dylan mayoral. Watch him dance to Avicii Hey Brother and Strangers Like Us. Let me know what you think
@@laurencopenhaver5366 Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/54hUVcG2V8M/v-deo.html Watch the guy in the plaid shirt to Steve Sayer’s left - his name is Hunter Krikac and some think his version is the closest around to Bob Banas’s original. Enjoy!
@@hayesman76 , Wow! Thanks for posting that link! You're right, Hunter Kricac is pretty damn close there in certain aspects, & what an absolute treat to See Bobby Banas gathered in for that group photo at the end. How delightful! 👍
I was thrilled to run across the fan fic " Adult Wednesday Afdans" series. They're fairly short episodes but it works for them. The whole series run time is only 45 minutes,. but in it's own way it feels very true in spirit to the franchise It's got an updated sassy.flow with great characters and a tinge of dark to it's storyline . Its definitely worth a watch. Its sad that the studio missed out on a great opportunity to develop it.
Lurch would be that one white boy in my old high school that would shock the hell out of everyone dancing and before long all us black students are yelling, “go Lurch, go Lurch, go Lurch” lol
Wednesday was so cute. The 6'9" Ted Cassidy had a great sense of humor. Died young at 46. RIP.
Wow didn't know he was that young
man watching this classic show & any show before 2000 are better then whats on 2day
When I read that, I thought "that's it?"
But then I realized that no, it's not 7 feet, but that's Lebron size.
He just seemed like a tower in my head.
@@schoolnurse8754 Yeah. Standing on an NBA basketball court today he would look kinda short beside many of today's players.
@@schoolnurse8754 perspective perhaps. He always seemed huge to me (as did Herman Munster) until I started watching the reruns recently as an adult. Now they just seem a bit taller than normal.

Who’s betting this clip will get a sudden surge in views now? (Dec 2022). Fun to see that Wednesday always knew how to bring the moves.

Absolutely correct.
Indeed
Indeed
No truer words!
And let's face it, Gomez and Morticia are a relationship goal. A married couple, with kids, who are as stupid for each other as the day they met. I want that.
Good times...still remember. A fine show indeed.
I wish they would bring it back
Every time I see Carolyn Jones as Morticia it reminds me how gorgeous she was!
Man Lurch could bust a move or what and Wednesday got it down. This was awesome.
@Daniel Marrett - agreeeeed
Hard to believe he’s the same guy in Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid!
Love this. Morticia so gorgeous and Wendy so charmed by her. Gomez to die for. What a family 😂
I think Morticia was kinda hot!

Morticia was very chic. With that walk, she would've made a great geisha, moving with speed, grace, and poise
To die for 💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️
@@perriponders289 Lordy you are boring 😂🙄
Favorite show as a kid!! Well.... besides Rocky & Bullwinkle.
Awwwww how the world has changed!!! Love those memories. When the world was simplier!
1960s Wednesday Addams is the cutest!
Considering that I used to watch this show, i sure didn't remember this episode; hilarious!
Lol, the episode aired today on MeTV
Oh wow, I always remember that episode as it was SO out of left field when that happened. I was maybe 7 or 8 when I first saw it, and it just stunned me to see him move like that!
I watched every episode of this show, I thought. How I missed this befuddles me. Fantastic to see on this Halloween night 2021.
so cute 😭
She was perfect for Wednesday.
I love the way she dances😭

Watched Every Episode and the Munster's. Worth It 😂
I loved them both. Still do and I'm 62 .
Did you find it on "ME TV"? That's where I watch it every night at 6 o'clock ( Eastern Time ). Great show!
I know I’ve seen James Brown do the move Wednesday’s doing. She’s so adorable!
Miss this show. Lil Mama was gettin it!
This was my Adams Family growing up. These were the reruns I would watch. I thought The actress who played Mortisha was Absolutely Stunningly Beautiful!!
Beautiful. Little Wednesday and her Lurch having a moment.
My favorite show when I was a kid. Morticia was so much cooler than the other TV moms. What a great clip!
She was killing it lol..she's got soul
Lol !!! I like her James Brown footwork..
she knew what she was doing lol that aint acting, kid had some moves!
I pray to god this type of talent comes back. she's a natural
That was GREAT! I think Bobby Banas would be proud of Lurch's moves! He has a lot of them down! This is hilarious and a great tribute to Bobby Banas!
Right?!! I cannot hear that song without Bobby Banas coming into my head.
Yeah! BB was a great dancer and choreographer. He was in Westside Story.
Those moves are actually great. Love how it’s crossed generations and now you can find gifs of it and it’s a meme. Definitely have to watch this version of the Adams family
This was my favorite episode...little Wednesday was killin it!!!😆
Dayuuum! Wednesday Addams had some slick dance moves.🔥
Right? I’d watched this years ago, but rewatching it, had to admit, little Wednesday was working out! Lurch was funny as h*ll, and the way Morticia was looking at him was too funny!
Ted Cassidy was a hero, did that for however many takes with a perfect poker face.
Ohhhh!!!! That girl was gettin’ it!!!! Go Wednesday!!!!
Wednesday does it sooo well...She was Soo adorable!!🤣♥️RIP Lisa 🙏♥️🙏♥️
The ORIGINAL Wednesday Adams dance; They're both perfectly awesome !!
Love that song..
Wednesday and Lurch get down the nitty gritty...
Wednesday doing the James Brown
@@omarcogle1965 oh yeah.. nothing wrong with that.
@@evangelineyap4990 True
Always loved the Addams Family. Wednesday's dance is really cool.
For some reason this video mesmerizes me! I am amazed at the cool way Wednesday can dance! She's got the moves!
Haha! Look at that lil girl go! Lurch is gettin' busy too!
I watch this every Friday. Gets me in the mood for the weekend.
Every Wednesday too!
I smiled throughout this entire video. I'm a Baby Boomer and watched this show religiously as a child. Every single character was a piece of work. But I did crush for Gomez though.
I discovered this a couple weeks ago. It's contagious. I've watched it at least once a day since!
Love this episode.
That little girl was channeling James Brown!
Wednesday Addams, Eddie Munster and Tabitha Stephens. The cutest kids on 1960's television.
Carolynn Jones RIP ❤️!
You can never duplicate the original cast but the cast of Family Values can damn close!
Many years later Wednesday pulls out some great dance moves on Netflix.
Including this one, for a moment (this starts just a few seconds before, at 0:51 ua-cam.com/video/NakTu_VZxJ0/v-deo.html )
@@BasketOfPuppies u beat me to it
Yea she copies a lot of moves
@@BasketOfPuppies I noticed that too wish they had put it in a bit longer as tribute tho
New Wednesday is cringe
This proves how the new series nailed every detail
yo Shireley Ellis is fricken amazing! her music was a whole ass decade ahead of its time.
I loved that especially Lurch. Wendy always seemed so dry as a child too,so this is special. 🥰💖
I love her dancing!
I was kinda hoping Morticia was gonna bust a move. Then I realized that dress wouldn't have allowed such a thing.
That’s what I was expecting.
I’m not sure she could even sit down in that dress! But she looked gorgeous in it!
In the original episode she does dance...
More like bust a seam
Not entirely true. There are some moves you can do in a dress like that.
ua-cam.com/video/GBsjvAvf9W0/v-deo.html
Note that “Thing” was actually performed by Lurch.
I could watch this video all day long and never get tired of it. Both were doing the damn thing.
I could watch this video a million times!! I love it!
I love how Thing is just a guy under the table, reaching out through a box. The FX are astounding!
And yet, he still gets down. Don't let anyone tell you you can't dance!

We partied off this song by Shirley back in the day and you can't forget The Name Game....
Wednesday is so damn cute her and lurch were awesome.
Love this. Thanks for sharing. Classic fun - and oh yeah Morticia was MAGNIFICENT
Ah, back when life was simple and comedy made you laugh. 😄👍🏾
Oh shit. I didn't see that coming. Shock one was seeing little Wednesday looking like James Brown. Shock two was seeing big ol Lurch doing a respectable take at the nitty gritty. This was fun to watch.
She is a terrific dancer!
The best ever where those days! Thanks for the reminder! You performer's! Thankyou XO !
Perfect I love me some Shirley Ellis and Wednesday was a cutie
That's such a cute dance 🥰🥰🥰 I remember watching this show as a kid, on nick at nite I think (I'm 40)? Wednesday is so cute and I loved lurch!!!! And Morticia's dress, the way it was cut on the bottom looked creepy like it crawled, like In the comic 😍

I've never seen that and I watched The Addams Family regularly as a kid. So very cool. Ted grew up in my home state of West Virginia and is a local legend.
I love how little Wednesdays dancing ballet with lurch.the looks on mortician and gomez face when lurch comes out at first
Wednesday’s rhythm - so neat on that timing
Perfect
Who else thought Thing was going to pull the music while Lurch kept going until he saw Morticia staring at him? It's a classic bashful skit that Bob Hope perfected. ❤
Looks like little Wednesday was a James Brown fan.
He looked like he was trying not to fall over a cliff.😁. Too funny 😂.
Miss this show!!!!!❤

She dances so smoothly
This combines all the things I love. Great job!
Lurch was feelin it 😂
Great video !!! Great dancing !!
Carolyn Jones was hot !!!
Too funny, excellent clip. Wednesday couldn't be cuter and Lurch definitely is Da Man.
Ortega should do this dance as an homage in the new Wednesday series!
Little Wednesday could dance. She was actually doing the James Brown, they should have played one his songs for her to get down.😍😍😍
SUBLIME💖❤️💖❤️❤️💖💖❤️💖❤️😂 WE JUST LOVE THE ADDAMS FAMILY AND THE SONGS SUNG BY SHIRLEY ELLIS. 💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️

I watched a lot of retro shows growing up thanks to my grandma's love of TV Land, so it really wants my heart to see Lurch let loose 😍💕😂
Everytime I here this fantastic song I see Bobby Banas dancing it🤩👏💐🥰
Great show.
Carolyn Jones was gorgeous.
I saw this episode the other day ,she made me laugh my head off..she was so cute
Wow! Wednesday dances as good as Bobby Banas!
Lurch too.
They got the killa moovz!

Awesome but Bobby is the king

We need new shows like this ,
I need things for sure but more tv ain’t one of them
Wed. Wednesday was a real little mini bopper. She must be a Bronx girl.
Very, very cute Wednesday and Lurch, dancing!
I will always love this. Get it Wednesday!!!!!
Morticia is just stunning.
She was quite an impressive dancer for a little girl 😎
I love the Adams Family! ❤
Fantastic , l just loved watching Morticia shuffle in , in her dress , just beautiful 🖤
