Except this is factually incorrect. The Addams Family was a single-panel cartoon of over 150 cartoons that began running in The New Yorker in 1938. It was 26 years later that the television show you are speaking of was produced by Orion.
My own theory is that, when Frankenstein was being made, the first attempt failed because the hand wasn't moving, so they replaced it. The hand that wouldn't move soon came alive and ran off
In a flashback episode on how Gomez and Morticia met, it is revealed that Thing has been with the Addams family since Gomez himself was a child, suggesting Thing is the son of an earlier generation of hand-servants
Fun fact: a show called "Ash VS the evil Dead" came out before "Wednesday" the show in side of "Ash VS the Evil Dead" his hand came back after growing into a clone of Ash then got killed for good.
Actually... Thing originally was an entire entity that just sat in the background and stared at them the entire time not talking but since this was in the 1960s ... The censors felt that it was too scary for a family show during day time syndicate, so thing became a hand only.... He was done by an illusionist named Victor Dorobantu..... Fun fact, in the original show, the hand was sometimes switched from the left to the right one from time to time
Thing was the creation of Charles Addams, who drew the Addams Family cartoons in The New Yorker magazine, beginning in the 1930's. He first appeared in Addams's 1954 book Homebodies.
Yes in he original show, Thing was portrayed by Tim Cassidy, who also played Lurch. And youโre right, he would sometimes use his left hand to see if anyone would notice lol.
wednesday doesnโt know, morticia doesnโt know, no one knows where Thing came from. as wednesday said, itโs one of the undiscovered addams family mysteries

Well seeing how the continuity between the movies and the show are really fucked up. I Guess Wednesday could take place in an alternate timeline. As each movie Basically retcons each other in a way.
Thing was born a hand and comes from a family of hand servants. Two female hands appear in the episode "Morticia meets royalty". Esmeralda and Lady fingers. Both things parents are shown in a painting as hands in the episode "thing goes missing" .
I thought the same on wtf waffle was all this. Og addams family had given this bit. It's literally just kids hopping on Wednesday trend train. Thank you.
Wasnโt it from their ancestors ๐? I remember someone from the family saying โheโs literally family to youโ when Wednesday was telling it what to do. ๐๐
It's actually explained in the early black and white series where Thing comes from. They made small notes of it, as well, in the later movies we grew up with.
@@XxToPgamE maybe because of some sort of curse or was brought back to life actually maybe The Addams family tried to bring it back to life but the only thing left of his body was the hand
so if you didnโt want to watch the video iโll just tell you so basically wednesday and the addams family are basically linked to the movie evildead because they both had the same studio and the never explained how thing came in the series or movie so if you watched evil dead this dude had his hand possessed and had cut it off and stitched it up and his hand ran away ๐ if you want more than just like and iโll get a notification โค
It's sad that they have to explain what the evil dead is, but just has to mention something in wednesday and everyone knows exactly what he's talking about
This is the real quote from Wednesday โNo one knows where the rest of him is. Thatโs one of the big Addams family mysteriesโ Edit: I posted this yesterday and it already has 118 likes?!!?
"Thing" was part of the original "Addams Family" tv show in the mid-1960s. It was in a wooden box on a table and it was actually the hand of Ted Cassidy, who portrayed "Lurch," their ridiculously tall butler. He had such long arms huge hands that it worked perfectly. (And even in the 90s movies, "Thing" wasn't all scarred and creepy looking as it is now.) But, I love your theory that it's the hand of Ash from "The Evil Dead" when he LOPS IT OFF! ๐
