Mother Lurch Visits the Addams Family (Full Episode) | MGM 

Gomez is Boss but Morticia is Too and lurch is obviously adopted

Which made this and the Munsters the best two family sit-coms of the 60s.

Oh yes!!

Trust me it's not just TV husbands

@@elavke5441 ikr,?

I’m sure you’re just as lovely as Morticia!

At 73 your a great comedian

You fox, you. 😉

@Santiago E. Juárez Martinez Blossom Rock portrayed Gomez's mother; Morticia's mother was played by Margaret Hamilton (Wicked Witch of the West, "The Wizard of Oz")

That's beautiful my sister dressed as Morticia for a party because people would say she looked like her , my late Nanna ❤️ and my mum look alot like her mother . It's sweet and nostalgic ❤️ thankyou for sharing

Yes, but how many wives call their husbands bubalah?

FACTS

56squadron I suppose they could start doing so!

It’s because they have no sense of self. It’d be nice if people didn’t nowadays but if they didn’t they’d be toast in the real world.

maybe not-so-much the bed of nails or the Iron Madien

They are couple goals

Gomez: speak french for me dear!

Me too.

I mean, look at her

That’s Amore Querida Mía

Good employers

@@raymondweaver8526 I’m sure some friends wouldn’t even do that!

@@raymondweaver8526 i think lurch aint an employee he is definetly a family member i mean whenever lurch have a problem gomez and morticia care for him a lot i think thats wholesome

@@raymondweaver8526 It would be nice if every employer can do this in a perfect world. I do admire The Addams Family for doing this for Lurch. So sweet! :)

@@melissahoffman4687 Nah then every employee would take advantage

Stop with your like begging.

+1000

that's a pretty lazy way to beg

Yes

Adam family is a awesome show,was1965,year before I was born,I remember watching in 1972,I was 6, Morticia a pretty lady,her and Gomez great actors

@@lisaparsons4124 ...i'm 63 and i agree and Maryann was cute

One more thing the Gomez's were RICH so they had no money woes.

Michelle A. Murray what creepy and not sending kids to school lol

That's just your fantasy talking, as we see man utterly worshipping his wife. Which we, men (aka males), do 99.95% of the time.

...and think about the divorce lawyers going hungry ?!? 😂😂😂

@@catholiccrusader5328 well maybe

True. Too much sarcasm and jokingly putting each other down

They are supposed to be the anti-thesis of the typical family So yeah

Y'all get much more kinder greetings & more respect in a bondage dungeon today than y'all do at Walmarts so go figure huh

That's cause BDSM fetishists understand that trust is most important and most fragile and want to make sure everyone thry meet is given the same amount of respect. Walmart knows their people will come. Ack regardless so they don't care.

"Goodnight Johnboy!", "Goodnight Elizabeth!" 🎵🎶

Yeah they’re so nice

You do realize this is a TV show, right?

@@dianem6951 We know it’s a tv show - it’s beautifully written and so well acted..

@@lavieenrose5954 You don’t seem like you know it’s a TV show. Seriously, it’s just entertainment. People need to be able to tell the difference. They seriously don’t have that ability. You should reread the comments. These people believe in things like Santa Clause, and that they can even change reality. They were raised to believe in a world of make believe presented as reality.

​@@dianem6951Youre one boring person.

never paid the others a single mind. This is the only Addams family that exists to me.❤️

You made the best comment ever

Crossbow

The Munsters TOO and they sad for poorBeautyFullGirl

addams

Also crossbow

Fine piece of human female.

Yes, she was. And so graceful.

Still!

Beautiful in any day!

Any day!

Absolutely!! The women were always portrayed as lesser than the man…. My favorite show as a kid. Well that and creature feature lol

Naturally he's on a show about a bunch of weirdos

Well. That's because it is the 60s, a period when love has real meaning

​@@Itunudeboraholowoyeye no.

That's love. I couldn't pass the woman I love on the stairs, without kissing her.

Gaea Ranee Ibanez hahahha

But then morticia admonished him. Shouldn’t lying be a good thing to them?

I thought they would be Republicans with all those Ill-gotten gains. Pirate gold...

Investments, a legal practice, salt mine, uranium mine...what ill-gotten gains?

Gaea Ranee Ibanez Gomez?!

@@Books_Makeup Better a bottle than half a glass, unfortunately there are plenty of great shows out there that didn't even get past season 1

Brilliant

I would give you a like, but it's perfect at 666. . .

I never in a million years thought I'd enjoy this old of a show.

This compliment for old shows is really good

As a kid, I was always fascinated with Uncle Fester and the vise treatment. 😱🤣

Or shoulder pain.

Try the y strap

I was thinking the same thing

😅

Have you ever seen colour pictures of the set ? It's quite something

Have you ever seen the TV show they tried to make? Mockingbird Lane with Portia De Rossi and Jerry O'Connell?

Have you ever seen the reunion of the original cast in the 70's (is in color lol)

Hahahahaha

It prob would look to colourful

Mortician: Lurch, say something Lurch: Good luck. 😂

Lurch saying "momma" melts my heart ❤

Ted Cassidy the Actor, ad libbed the line "You Raaaang!" Great comedic work here. They all sold it so well, camp but took the characters seriously.

@@Alvan81 and in this episode, Ted got to use some of his talent. I see him in many old oaters.

This was an incredible performance of a non-talking character! I figured how they would solve Lurch explaining the issue of the episode to them without breaking character... Gomez guessing it and Lurch groaning "SERVANT..." was perfect.

Wasn't he the Judge in My cousin vinny?

I just love whenever he does the whole body shudder.

Hi! Where could I watch that? Do you still remember the episode?

It’s so fun to go back 50 yrs after the fact and see all these hilarious episodes I missed. Mother Lurch killed me! 🤣

18:25 Literally a savage

@@elai5985 it's called "Lurch learns to dance" - currentl it's one of the uploaded and watchable episodes (by MGM)

@@user-eu2iu8mw1i no not serbian, I thought that too first, they said servent, they just have. a really thick accent.

@@user-eu2iu8mw1i wait wut 😍 I am from Serbia!

Jean Paul,what state are you from? I have uncle and aunt in New Hampshire.

Truth of the matter is, we have some tall people like Lurch.. :D I never passed my father's height though, If I did, I would be over 6 ft, or over 190 cm....

@@claudiarobinson587 LOL Minnesota ... but I have been blessed with several New Englander friends.

i know right its so cute

Can she wear dat twenty four seven

Matthew Fogarty please no

I honestly didn't like that outfit. She looks better in her normal one.

🥵 she would be 70 years older than me tho

I wish we had shows like this and Warner bro cartoons to teach us values and music. No wonder things have gone downhill. What has the modern times brought? 2 broke girls? Excuse me!

Very Good?? eccch.. I found the remake totally cringeworthy, lacking all subtlety, and the Uncle Fester character was a real barfbucket. They should’ve all been boiled in South Tasmanian oil, to use a Gomez line.

So true!!

Nothing like the original .

Fredriik Forkbeard are you talking about the live action or animated?

Well, as a kid you had incredibly well thought out taste you lovely, person.

@@evelynsteiner7616 Thank You.

@Snookie a beautiful delicate nose.

He was pretty cool in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Never met anyone from this show, but in '68 or '69.....while on a tour of Universal Studios....I did meet Grandpa Munster ( Al Lewis ). I was 13 or 14 at the time.

@@195511SM Did you watch "Car 54 Where are You?" It had Al Lewis and Fred Gwynne.

you're so lucky omg

I did get a chance to briefly meet Jackie Coogan (Uncle Fester) who had started acting in silent films working with Charlie Chaplin, Little Rascals and was the reason for child labor laws as his family stole his fortune. Charming man.

Why was Carolyn Jones taking dancing lessons when she was literally dying of colon cancer? Didn't she have to shoot her last scenes on "Capitol" in a wheelchair??

@@missleader5262 what was the show capitol about?

She was a beauty 😍

Family is more like it.

@@WilliamRamirez-nk9xo no there not related

@@riley818 obviously my friend but the world can be your family if you want it that way or are we waiting for a court paper to put it in writing first.

well as they said, he's considered family

Better would have been if they helped him to be accepted for what he really is. What is bad in being a servant?

Definitely! I cracked up when Lurch knocked Gomez over when running to answer the phone out of habit.

It's like a cartoon in live-action!

Me tooooo

I still do that today and every time I smoke a friggin good cigar my family tells me to stop it...

I know, right? But the episode where Mortisha asks a guest if he minds if she smokes, and she doesn't actually light anything! She just smokes. I thought I might need help getting off the floor.

Her demanding lurch make eyes at her was hilarious lol

Lurch winking at Morticia was priceless 🤣

6:40 I don't think that was only Gomez checking Tish out, I believe that was ALL John Ashton (not saying I blame him).

Reminds me the character of Jamie Lee Curtis in A fish called Wanda 😂 That's the love for foreign languages!

We are the Addams family. People find us kooky and spooky. But they envy our love.

Such is the life of unassuming Immortals. Loving, devoted, and kind.

@@CJ-hz1uj Yes, well, when doing experiments as an undergraduate in organic chemistry the entire 3 story science building had to be evacuated for the day because even the hazmat people were having trouble getting into the lab I had mixed up something I got into no trouble. Why? Because everybody was happy to take the day off. They knew it was me because of my habit of washing my hands with concentrated sulfuric acid to show off. Who else could breathe the noxious fumes and not complain? My sweat was so acidic when I was young that I had to change the latex gloves every 10 minutes in anatomy class. They would first turn dark brown and fall off my hands in pieces. I of course was elected to saw the cadaver in half with a hand saw. However, the thanksgiving evening I literally blew up my kitchen with the entire meal prepared for 30 people; well the women were not happy. Especially when I said "no problem, I'll order pizza". The men and grandchildren loved it though. I was barred from the kitchen over a year. I would tell you about other members of my family but each "peculiar person" would take their own book to do justice. Only would mention Mishu, our now dead black cat, who decided to stick her but into my armpit at 3AM so I would midwife her as she gave birth. The kids were small then and my wife called them to see it. They kept going on about, "you see, Mishu knows Dad's a Doctor." Anyway, 2 months ago I spent 5 hours explaining things to the FBI, again, no charges will be filed. I just don't seem to fit "the parameters" but nothing I do is illegal, just unusual. Like having homeless men in our house to detox not as part of any program. Or cooking up medicine in the kitchen, no controlled substances, just stuff. I am NIH certified and principal investigator at 2 human research centers. I was great when the kids went to kindergarten for show and tell. I would have them answer to the whole class when asked, "what does your daddy do?" He makes and recommends drugs. I would also make whymes out of their Dr notes. Long and epic stories of rhyme. My wife with her clam elitist Morticia pose would explain at the parent teacher meetings about me. Mi querida. Yes, we are all immortal. I am not joking.

@@JRRodriguez-nu7po You have had a very interesting life by the sounds of it. I had to reread your statement "I was elected to saw the cadaver in half." A few times. 😳 Have you thought about writing a book about some of your life stories? I would purchase the first autographed copy. 📓 And I would love to hear more about ... "we are all immortal."

@@silverrabbit7854 Thank you, and if I were to write it despite documentary evidence and a plethora of witnesses it would immediately be classified as fiction. However, my life continues so "interesting" it leaves little time except for occasional net musings. My entire family is nuts, but somehow productive and we actually like each other.

I like the funnies too :)

I don't blame him. That's the best part. :)

I agree with Lurch!😁👍

Relatable

Ted Cassidy had such a presence about him. Yes,he was VERY handsome,but there was just something else about him. He carried himself better then much smaller men. He had charisma,charm.

Lurch is Ted Cassidy. Ted Cassidy made Lurch

Absolutely true 👏

I'm Sean Cassidy, Ted's son. I am so happy to read all the kind comments.

Jc, Lurch could Lurch with the best of them!

Yeah, which ones died again?

Good, nobody should to live so long, it's a torture.

John Astin and Lisa Loring, who played Gomez and Wednesday Addams, respectively, are the only surviving cast members of the original series.

@Estrella That would be Raul Juliá, who played Gomez in the two live-action movies. He passed away in 1994, shortly before the release of the Street Fighter movie where he played M. Bison. John Astin was the first actor to portray Gomez, and he's still alive and well.

@Estrella morticia died of cancer years ago. Pugsly died a few years ago. All are dead but Wednesday and Gomez from the tv series

Carolyn Jones

She was a huge Hollywood star in her day, very beautiful!!

Check out Carolyn Jones in the 1953 thriller "House of Wax" with Vincent Price. It's a fun retro flick set in the early 1900's, that was made for the 3D fad of the time. She looks so pretty in it, and has a teensy little waist that you see when her friend laces up her corset.

@@eduardo_corrochio You got that right! She's gorgeous in that movie!

So sad that she died young @ 53 from colon cancer :/

I always answer my phone with 'You rang?'.

“You’re sloppy and inefficient.”

bloemundude & he was a very intelligent & intellectual man who wrote & produced many series && a few films😉

He was! I don't think he ever got the admiration and respect he deserved in his lifetime.

A bit stereotype wouldn't you say

Me too XD

@@clearsky1572 Agreed, it is actually a long lost art called acting.

Me too..

"Now, about pinching the maid......."

Yes! Love the show. I have Charles Addams book on my coffee table

Best couple!

Could have worse neighbors

I'd live there id let them adopted me 😈

Every woman needs to find her Gomez.He is the best husband and companion ever!!

He was also 6'1" by then

Christopher Zapata What on earth were they feeding that boy?

I like him when he played the android Ruk in the Star Trek TOS episode “What are Little Girls Made Of”

Thank GOD.

billfinger : that’s a comment that I have thought of when I see him. I figured that his mom would be short and oh-so-much less overpowering than him.

Yeah.

I highly recommend you watch Carolyn Jones Morticia and more. A great biography special on her and her career. She loved doing the character and the show because it was so much fun and unlike many other shows at the time with its very weird, witty macabre humor.

Her sister was also an actress, Jennifer Jones. She was a successful film actress as well as being very pretty. But overall I prefer Carolyn's warmth and humor.

One of the things I enjoy about this show is how much the actors/actresses put into their roles. I think everyone portraying a member of the family had fun performing here.

@@galebailey5583 interesting that most of these comments are females and about Morticia. She really was a cultural icon of her time, I wonder if she received the accolades from that or did it take years of retrospect to find out

Who wouldnt?

No other character couples displayed such love for each other. John Astin's Gomez made you believe how much he loved Carolyn Jones Character of Morticia and had you laughing at the same time. Only Raul Julia and Angelica Houston have been able to get right so far. Really miss Raul Julia. What a rare actor he was. But I think the original Gomez John Astin is still alive.

agreed + the same goes for Julie Newmar being the best Catwoman

Agree

Best all around Addams cast. No offense to others. This is the one that worked best, together.

Absolutely

Beautiful too.

Who wouldn't be in love with Morticia ?

Chelcy Etienne tickle his prostate.

I can tickle his prostate with my battered French

No one can manage a man quite like Mortica 😂

Morticia saved Gomez’s life u know

You would get bord and hate him.

The same thing for Ted Cassidy and Jackie Coogan as the original Lurch and Uncle Fester.... As Morticia and Gomez I must admit that I liked a lot Anjelica Huston and Raúl Julia, but still I rather Carolyn Jones and John Astin every day.

The whole television cast outshines the movie's questionable ensemble .

@@gomongio I agree

gomongio I really wasn’t a fan of the movie’s Uncle Fester. This one was much better!

Richard Burriesci Agree absolutely!

“Its his most outstanding characteristic” 🚬

Yes! They're DELICIOUS!!!!

She acted as the woman who sold Barney a bad car in the Andy Griffith show as well

@@whimsymaker Oh somehow I've missed that episode. I love that show. I'll have to look for it!🙂

She acted in over 120 movies and TV shows. Going back to the early 1940s. She was a great actor.

😂

ESPECIALLY as Morticia!

Did you know they were really into each other.? Sadly for them it ended quickly 2 years I think

I love this show! So beautifully written and with a talented cast!!!

*This show isn't odd... you might be.*

@@wednesdayjade3600 Maybe you should learn how to read friend.

@@manofthehour6583 : *I do know how to read.*

It's quite obvious you didn't read my comment properly..It says Old not Odd.

@@wednesdayjade3600 If you make all your words bold type, then none of them really are.

That was the iconic line of the episode for me

Problem is that not all people would appreciate it. But well. Their loss

unfortunately we'll never have wholesome comedies like this anymore just like there'll never be good pop music anymore

You have to love even for their fascination for th macabre they love and enjoy each other's company and defend their family

and I think this works better for comedy too.

For me since I only ever watched a few re-runs of the animation and "The Addams Family" and "The Addams Family Values" This being the first time I actually watched this version. I'd say "The Addams Family" and "The Addams Family Values" weren't terrible. Though considering I'm 22 I have a soft spot for the older movies.

Javier Whitefield I’m 20, so I also grew up with the movies. I liked them until I watched this show. 😂

Victorianism extant in the sixties.

That made me snort laugh!

😂

"You Rang?" So simple yet so satisfying.

Ellen Corby. She plays the lady who runs McKittrick Hotel in Hitchcock's Vertigo

That's who she was? Never made the connection

GOOD LORD!! lol.

She was also the unscrupulous woman who sold Barney his first car (a lemon) on the Andy Griffith Show.

Ellen Corby was in over 120 movies & TV shows. She was a wonderful "character" actor for over 30 years before she became Grandma Walton .

John Astin has admitted that there was a mutual attraction between he and Carolyn Jones.

@@jacquelinejoyce8066 there was something FOR SURE!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I DID TOO!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

That's funny. I taught my niece for the same reason. I had forgotten until you mentioned it.
