Note the glaring pronunciation error at the 3:35 minute mark, where the narrator states that the Addams home computer (Whizzo) made its debut in the "90th episode" of the series. There were only 64 episodes total (over two seasons). It was actually the 19th episode.

CJ wore a wig as Morticia -- her own hair was never long. That seedy-looking, 1960s Playboy-like image of Carolyn Jones they stuck on the cover of their video -- and the one beside it -- are surely AI-generated. Though in 1971, she did publish a fictional novel called Twice Upon A Time, that might or might not have used some autobiographical elements
: "I wrote a sex book. It wasn’t particularly well-written, and I’m not that proud of it."

VIDEO EXCERPT: #5 - Despite the show's eerie and dark atmosphere, the walls of the Adams House were actually painted a bright vibrant pink. This may come as a surprise, but since the show was filmed in black and white, the set designers used this color to create the necessary contrast on screen. Many of the odd spooky items scattered around the mansion were also surprisingly colorful. Including reds, yellows, and greens -- far more whimsical than one would expect from the macabre Adams decor. The clever use of color made everything look more defined and dramatic in the black and white format.

I assume there was nothing mysterious or macabre about Felix Silla (Cousin Itt) or Blossom Rock (Grandmama).
