Gomez Addams: Ooo, stop, stop, you're making me hungry.

Featured review
Pretty dumb episode
Lurch becomes a teen idol. Why? He does essentially the same things here, that he does in every other episode. How about if he actually made an attempt to sing a song, rather than just grunting? Also, isn't it curious that the "normal" people suddenly see nothing strange about the Addams Family? This series started out well enough, but got progressively sillier and dumber as it went along. As Lurch, Ted Cassidy was too one dimensional. All the Addams characters were weird, but the others weren't always doing the same exact thing, all the time. Unfortunately, the opening and ending credits often proved better than the episodes themselves.
