Creepy & kooky--on MeTV

[PNGwynne]

The Addams Family is coming to MeTV on Monday, May 3 at 6:00 pm EST.

Huzzah! One of my favorite shows.

[Werewolf]

Great show and has aged really well.

[PNGwynne]

Yes, John Astin is proud of the show and it resonates well today.

^Mysterious & Spooky is one of my all time faves! Absolutely timeless.

I refuse to give up my ghost until I have official Addams Family Mego figures in my Ooky collection!

I will celebrate that day by tossing lizards teeth in the air and whipping up some marinated cheetah for dinner.

I could definitely go for Mego Adams Family figures. They should have made a spin-off show called, “I Love Lurch” he could get in innocent predicaments like Lucy did.

[LonnieFisher]

I'd buy Addams Family figures! That would be awesome...

[PNGwynne]

Would take eight figures to to it right, one can dream.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Very excited to be able to watch this on over-the-air TV again! Visually, I love the Munsters, but the Addams Family's humor was smarter and more devilish. I think the actual show has aged better, overall.

I agree, it would be great if Itt & Thing were packaged together though.

I'm not all that interested in living beyond 75, so that's about a 17.5 year span for this to happen.

However, if I must wait a bit longer, I suppose I could always use a spray on preservative, just to keep.

I've always considered Thing as an accessory for Lurch or Cousin Itt, Mego-wise.

One plan might be two-packs with appropriate backgrounds: exterior, parlor, conservatory, playroom, Pugsley's bedroom.

At any rate, it would be an ambitious project, not seen since the release of the original OZ figures. I think it's possible to release four figures a year and no need for new tooling, but is that viable for Mego Corp? Horror and nostalgia seem to be selling well, but it's a big commitment if it's even possible or desired and previous sitcom efforts don't make me optimistic.

And a variant using the Carolyn Jones sculpt for Ophelia

Oooh, nice idea.

I really like this idea!

I share your reluctance, although I think the appeal of The Addams Family is much broader than the previous sitcom efforts due to the crossover of horror & nostalgia. The Distinctive Dummies issues sold fast and are fetching $$$ on the secondary market in merely a few months time. Hopefully someone with some input has taken notice of that.

Pretty sure both the Addams and Munsters would be hits for someone if they got done

Thanks, we have good ideas here--FB take note lol!!!
