    The worst thing about Deb was that she could have had an amazing loving family and all the money she could want with the Addams, that accepted her for the crazy murderous person she was, but even that she ruined by wanting more and trying to separate Fester from the rest of his family(and trying to kill Fester, but attempted murder is totally fine with the Addams).

      That's her irony though. She killed her parents because they "didn't understand her". She didn't want people to see her as Malibu Barbie. She wanted to be Ballerina Barbie. Graceful. Delicate. (Both of which, she decidedly is not.)
      The climax is that, even while chained to the electric chairs, The Addams are just empathetic with her. They see her in her truest form, and pity her, because she doesn't understand herself.

    When they were showing photos of Debbies aliases and they had that random photo at the end, the last photo was a picture of Kathie Lee Gifford. She had a morning show alongside Who Want's to be a Millionaire's Regis Philbin from (1988-2000) called "Live! With Regis and Kathy Lee."

    you should try the original series cast and the animated 2019 movie the others are kind of lacking but there is a charm to the original series and the 1st animated movie is ok too. if you only to movies the original TV series did one TV movie you can find on youtube I would have to say John Astin is the Best of the bunch then Raul Julia , Oscar Isaac, Tim Curry, Glenn Taranto then Lennie Weinrib is the worst Gomez

      Yeah might check out the recent animated movie. John Astin was the Gomez in the first show from the 60s? I've seen that there's episodes availible on YT yeah, might check some out.

    There was a movie and the movie was supposed to promote the show. Both were terrible! But to this day Canadians do remember watching the show and enjoying it... I feel only bc the actor they picked for Gomez was actually good. But not for the movie, all cast was just terrible!

    22:05 - If you ever see Wednesday smile, just run. Because it means one of three things. Either she's doing something horrible to somebody, she DID something horrible to somebody, or she's ABOUT to do something horrible to somebody.
