Scream with joy over this 4-Disc, 16-Episode The Addams Family: Season 1!

Review: The Addams Family made their first appearance in animation format on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon Scooby-Doo.  The gang met the Addams Family and it was so popular that Hanna-Barbera developed a series just for the family.  It debuted in the early 1970s with a Scooby-Doo style sense of humor and went for just one season.   This new four-disc DVD set collects the entire original series, not to be confused with the later 1990s animated series.

The 1970s show consisted of the Addams Family traveling around the country in an RV styled after their Victorian home.  It was quite a sight.  The show is basically one comedy bit after another as the family gets in silly situations with normal people.  The show includes a laugh track and the animation style of the old Scooby-Doo show.  Its really fun to watch, and as a huge Addams Family fan, I'm so happy to have it in our DVD library.
