NetFlix totally hijacked this idea. Even the promo photo of her holding the umbrella. Jenna Ortega does a great job playing a grown up Wednesday Addams in their version of your intellectual property. Looks like you did it first. There is a movie based on a true story called "Flash of Genius". It's about how a single man won millions of dollars in a patent infringement law suit against the auto industry.

It was the descendants of Charles Addams that presented her with a Cease-and-Desist Order... either stop making them, or they'd sue TF out of her... But I totally agree... She's a brilliant writer and actress... I personally think that they were pissed off that she has taken the 'Addams Franchise' in a direction someone else was thinking of doing and her take would be too much of a competition to what later became Wednesday on Netflix, which has paid them a FORTUNE to do it...

This series of minis is freaking awesome. Sorry Melissa wasn't able to continue. They should have hired her and made a full series.

You know movie Producers, I mean take a look at how Disney has gone down the pan lately, they probably only sued anyway to recompensate themselves on the latest turgid garbage turned out by the woke Hollywood movie scene as it slowly crawls deeper and deeper into its own grave of mediocrity, Universal are not too bad I supposed, they do some decent horrors but money is tight these days and cohorts of Lawyers aint cheap. It looks like Deadpool 3 will be good though on the bright side.

These are incredible. Melissa does an impressive job recreating Wednesday as an adult. I was sad, as many were, when she got the cease and desist order. I hope these were an inspiration to the producers of Wednesday.

"... do you compost?..." This is some serious Addams Family stuff here.

I enjoy watching both iterations of Wednesday. Having said that, to me this rendition is like a good classic black and white movie. There are fewer sets, only a few practical special effects such as the attacking ponytail and zero explosions with a slow motion "walk away". These vignettes are carried by inspired concepts brought to life by top notch writing and acting. Very pure and visceral. I offer my mad love and a standing ovation. Bravo!

I'm glad these are still up. she was brilliant. the writing was excellent. I understand why it had to stop, but I don't have to like it.

One of my favorite shows and definitely my favorite satire of that show. To me, it's a classic.

This is the greatest Adams Family related content ever!!!

What r u studying? Wednesday : Weakness! Lol 😆 🤣 love her character

Can you imagine her and Christina Ricci doing a critique of Christina's interpretation of her portrayal? Wednesday: "Your approach to me was very close, but you weren’t threatening enough..." Ricci: "I had to work with the lines they gave me." Wednesday: "To really understand me, you should have taken that as a challenge...after all, threats only work when you leave a few bodies behind you on occasion... " Ricci: "But that's murder!" Wednesday: "Only if you get caught. I've done it several times..."

I don't usually laugh out loud at campy humor , but THIS was really funny ...

Gosh - she should star in a big Movie - sheˋs a brilliant Wednesday.

I do love this young woman’s works. Wit, finess and charm abound…

coolest tv series I have ever seen. No disrespect to the 60s original and the movies. Wednesday is a not so distant second.

I have to agree with Joe. Further more the Netflix series have little in common with this version of Wednesday. And to be honest, there are parts of the Netflix series that (to me) look more like they'd coloured another series with a Wednesday Addams theme, rather than a series that was made for the character Wednesday.

thank you! first time I've seen an old show brought into the present without ruining the base platform and characters. incredible job, awesome performers and funny as hell!

It is too bad that they did not allow the new Wednesday Adams to continue. These short videos are fantastic !!!

When I made the Wednesday Addams video that you see here, Melissa Hunter (Wednesday) had many videos (which I compiled here) was removed from KZread soon afterwards! Melissa also played as "Wolf Girl" that was a series on NBC. She is extremely talented. I give her websites in the comments as soon as I can find them to help her grow in popularity. You should see her video: "Dead Puppies" it is totally Melissa! And that boyfriend in chains? Was really her boyfriend. Hope that helps explain my reason to keep this wonderful series alive! Long Life Happiness and Funny stuff! ❤

I haven't seen this for years ... such a great series ... thanks Linda 😈

I imagine that this has become quite popular with the release of Jenna Ortega's "Wednesday" which is also great, but they should employ whoever did this as a writer on the Jenna Ortega version..

Incredible acting,she is so natural in that character,plus her real personality is adorable,i wish her the best in life,hugs

Fantastic series of short videos which I would have loved if they made it into a long running series !!!

Like many, I thought this was some of the best comedy ever.

This is better than the Netflix series. This has that cheery, witty, dark, and sarcastic humor, whereas the Netflix version just has a serious tone to it.

Far better than the commercial Wednesday series.

It's nice they are all gathered in one spot to enjoy. I still think Netflix should have paid her for the idea.

These were fantastic, it's a shame that Disney didn't pick this up as a series.

It's horrendous when those in power-less lash out at the face of true talent worthy enough to be shared with the public. All the biting and scratching at the heels of such authentic pure talent, only succeeds in exposing the weakness and fear from small powerless parasites. Exposing this kind of darkness by their own ignorance is the only parting gift they had to give. And true talent will always thrive, I appreciate that and thank all those who remain authentic to their gifts, dedicated to the hard teamwork it takes to express their talents combined into such meaningful original inspired art. Karma or Darma? Choose wisely...

Good stuff here, I miss this series.

The way she handled the cat callers in the green truck... This series of shorts is BRILLIANT. Recommended to fans of The Addams Family, Wednesday, satirical, and/or dark humor.

Glad to see this version back on the tube. These shorts are perfect macabre humor in a jugular vein.

Loved rewatching these skits AND anyone notice a few ppl who popped up on movies, SNL, commercials???? Lol

A little baby Heidi Gardner shows up in one of these! The casting and acting in these webisodes is perfection!

The series was one of the few brilliant shows left. What a shame that money got in the way.

One of the best things I've seen on YT for a long while...of course all good things must come to an end.

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE each & every episode

So glad to see she is back on you tube, after she was shut down years ago

Adorable and genius. So start your own spooky family for tv. You will be the coolest mom ever. Call it the strange family.

This was a really great series. It's sad about the copyright.

I absolutely love this. Wonderful job.

This is very good!!! I love it!!!!!!!

You were wonderful in this.

This series has such good writing: "Wolves can smell petulance ... and body glitter." It's as though the writers seanced Charles Addams into the 21st century.

Carolyn Jones - the original Morticia (This name is really Mortician minsus the N - ie, Morticia!) was a second cousin in my family tree! My family growing up to me was "The Addams Family". I lived in the woods most of my life until sundown when my mother would call out to me: "Time to come home!!!" Most of the time I was leaning the forest back before I was 6 years old.

I love this person.

Completely enjoyed this , Thanks !

Anytime something brilliant is created, lawyers and accountants rush it to crush it.

"I don't "almost kill" anything!" Wednesday is the coolest girl on earth - or six feet under it?

I love Love LOVE this series!!! I so wish there could have been more.

Melissa Hunter was amazing as Wednesday, but her concept show Wolfgirl for NBC used the best takes from Wednesday in it.

i watched the Wednesday movie this right up there glad i found it .

One line in the new Wednesday NextFlix movie that matches this KZread Wednesday: "... We all die alone ..." Thank you @heymelissahunter . The newest Wednesday 2022 on NextFlix was awesome!! I have always been like an Addams: 1. I love playing with insects and only kill mosquitos, flies, nats and those big green tomato caterpillars that eat my tomato plants ; i always let spiders live and take them safely out of the house, even though I have been bitten by many brown recluse while working under houses. 2. I love animals: snakes, frogs, toads, turtles, lizards and anything else that eats mosquitos; horses, dog, cat, rabbits and squirrels. 3. Most of my living room walls are covered in donated deer skins that I tanned myself and an African Tiger head from the 1930's! 4. I have no friends left now because they have all passed away, but a few did return to talk or turn on a light in the house from time to time. It just takes too much time to make a friend now a days and then they move, get married, get busy with their job, ask me for money to fix their car or pay their rent/light bills, or of Couse: They DIE.

Absolutely brilliant!

I think I found my new God. I need to watch these again, and again.
