Note to recorder:

Not too fast, please.

The Addams family is perhaps one of the most spooky and bizarre families in the mass media. The inventor of the family was an American cartoonist Charles Addams. The Addams Family firstly appeared as a series of cartoons, published in The New Yorker magazine in 1938. Now after several decades you can see the legendary family in black-and-white TV series which appeared in 1964, 3 motion pictures, animated cartoons and even a musical.
The heads of the family are naïve and handsome Gomez and subtle and sensual Morticia Addams. Originally they had two children: a serious daughter Wednesday and a playful son Pugsley. Other members of the family who lived with Gomez and Morticia included devilish Uncle Fester and Grandma Frump, a funny witch. Another member of the family is the hand named "Thing". In addition to Thing, the Addams family also had a tall, scary servant - Lurch.
This unusual family is still considered to be a satirical image of an ideal family. It’s success lies in its originality and witty humour of the main characters.
