The Addams Family at a Glance 

The Addams Family is a group of fictional characters created by American cartoonist Charles Addams.

The Addamses are a satirical inversion of the ideal American family; an eccentric, wealthy family who delight in the macabre and are unaware that people find them bizarre or frightening. They originally appeared as a series of single panel cartoons, published in The New Yorker magazine between 1938 and Addams' 1988 death.

In 1946 Addams met science-fiction writer Ray Bradbury after having drawn an il...

The Addams Family Theme Song 

music and lyrics by Vic Mizzy


They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Addams Family.

Their house is a museum
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The Addams Family.

(Neat)
(Sweet)
(Petite)

So get a witches shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on
The Addams Family.

The History of the Addams Family 

THE ADDAMS FAMILY
It wasn't a series like other series. It didn't appear regularly, in a particular part of the magazine, with its own headline - in fact, it didn't have a title at all. For a quarter of a century, the characters didn't even have names. Yet, it became so familiar to the U.S. public that when, in 1964, word went out that there was going to be a TV series based on the cartoons of Charles Addams, everyone knew exactly what to expect.
