I watched E1 this week. 

Did the 60s show joke about murder? 

Yes, and Wednesday used the Chinese Water Torture on Pugsley too.

I don't have a TV plan and don't want one, but I saw the teaser for this and really wanted to see it. I found the blu-ray on Etsy last week and binged it over the past couple days. I really enjoyed it, and I must say Jenna Ortega is phenomenal. I assumed she was about 14 years old, but she's actually 20. She is beyond petite, but they make her look even smaller than she is. No help is needed in that regard when she's next to Gwendolyn Christie (Captain Phasma) because she is 6' 3", but she generally looks to be about 4' 6" and is actually 5' 1". I'm looking forward to more of this!

Season Two announced

 

No Surprise, Netflix needed this series after a rocky year financially. Unfortunately for them, Amazon owns the rights, and wanted a larger cut of the profits, along with likely raises for the returning cast.  Thus your delay.

Such a fun show and I have never watched the original movies at all. Jenna Ortega knocked it out of the park with her performance as Wednesday.

You really should watch Addams Family and Addams Family Values, both really funny.

I'd recommend watching the 1960's Addams Family TV show as well - I've noticed some episodes available on YouTube recently. I grew up watching reruns in the late 1960's / early 1970's; the movies prompted me to pick up the DVD set of the TV show, and I still really enjoy watching it.

I've read many of Charles Addams' cartoons since my last post in this thread. They're macabre.

This show has been all over tick tok. The kids love it my daughter's friends all binge watch it and the dance routine as 
become epic all by itself. Well done Mr. Burton.

Looking forward to it.  Also curious the effects on the stories that Ortega is pushing for the character to be closer to her roots in presentation.  Specifically, no love triangles, and caring how anyone perceives her.  My guess is she was brought up on Christina Ricci's version, and wants to be more like that.
