I like how in the original show, the Addams were weird but by no means malicious, just a loving family to each other and their guests. Wednesday in particular took that darker, sadistic turn in later iterations.

I always like to think the Wednesday in the movies is just an older version of this Wednesday (since she was so young and sweet here), so she's going through the early stages of puberty, which was why she was dark in a way. Just a young girl finding her way. I'm sure she would've been just like Morticia in her own way if there was a third movie.

It’s a pity they don’t make gals like her anymore. But then I’m no Gomez.

As far as I know, the marriage of Morticia and Gomez was a fresh breath for sitcoms during that period. Married couples were portrayed either as weirdly chaste and mushy-gushy (for more family-friendly sitcoms) or grumpy couples nagging and often cheating on each other. Morticia and Gomez on the other hand had some real chemistry, as well as a healthy sex life.

I think in any period of TV history Morticia and Gomez are unique in how they are not only very much in love and affectionate, but always have chemistry and work well as a pairing. Particularly, the focus on affection as opposed to bickering is what sets them apart and one reason they are so likable.

She was such a lady on screen and out. You cannot fake it. She was so lady like, in a classic way. No wonder that I like to call her The Duchess Carolyn Jones.

Carolyn Jones (RIP) was the best looking Morticia Addams. None can really replace her. May she rest in peace.

I used to watch this w my grandma & pop! people used to always call me ‘elvira’ or say that i gave them ‘morticia addams vibes” - she’s such a goddess to me… especially the original!! with the release of the new wednesday series everybody’s suddenly so obsessed with wednesday but morticia is where it’s really at.

Morticia provided a lot of dreamy desire in my early teens. An absolutely stunning woman.

Carolyn Jones' Morticia was the hot goth before goth was even a thing.

its funny how she is like we will send are children to school but cries about missing them
