1.0 out of 5 stars Great show but one Terrible transfer., Jan 21 2008
By 
Robert Badgley (St Thomas,Ontario,Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Addams Family - Volume 3 (DVD)
This is the final release of one of the most original and certainly different shows of the 1960s.
My reviews on the previous releases pretty much sum up my feelings about the show so I won't linger on that aspect.
But what I must say and what is immediately apparent from viewing the set is how disappointed I am in the transfer of some of the episodes in this release onto DVD.They are poor to say the VERY least,not of a higher standard one would expect from such a company as Universal.They look like watching a poor copy of a VHS tape or something you would see from a lower budget small independent company release.Absolutely terrible and unforgivable.
Universal has charged a small arm and a leg for each of these releases and now,to boot, has released them in one complete package at a more competitive rate.I wouldn't begrudge them their sneaky marketing strategy if I was getting at least decent high quality transfers on each of these releases for the amount of coin I've been doling out.But such is FAR from the case and another typical SNAFU from one of the big boys to all of us unsuspecting and naive consumers.How dare we think we should be treated fairly?
Once again I tried to contact Universal consumer affairs for an answer and like the majority of my other inquiries before to them and others it is and will remain unanswered.
In conclusion I highly recommend the show to all but I cannot in good conscience recommend the sloppy and terrible transfer work done here for it is worthy of a third and fourth rate fly by night video company.Not at all what one would and SHOULD expect expect from a big company like this.Universal I am sure knew the demand for this show before releasing it but it seems like this is a quicky job done on the cheap,to reap the largest profits possible.If you haven't yet bought it,avoid the sting and please don't add to Universals' bank account by buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars They Really Are a Screa-um!, Dec 19 2001
"The Addams Family" is a great treat to watch on video. The family famous is back with all it's glory on these videos. This is one of the few ways to see the show these days since TV Land dropped it in 1998. Though it was taped in SLP form, there wasn't much difference, partly because SP and SLP/EP modes record mostly in the same condition if it's in B&W. Now, for the episodes them selves:

"The Addams Family Tree"
Pugsley and Wednesday insulted at a neighbors party for their strangness, and according to the neighbors, 'they have no class'. The Addams quickly get a geniologist to find out their history, and find out some interesting things about themselves and their neighbor. Grandmama (BLOSSOM ROCK) does not appear in this episode, which is quite strange, since she probably knows the most about their history.

"Gomez, The Polotician"
Election fever grips the household. Gomez backs a man who is for the draining of swamps. The Addams are famous for backing many losers during campaigns ("Lincoln backed for our help. But we went for old Douglas!" says Gomez). The Addams go to extremes, and Uncle Fester even makes himself lightup. In the end, their canidate joins the traditions of Dewy, Douglas, and others, and becomes a loser.

All in all, these were great episodes!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, Jun 27 2000
These two shows were both pretty good, though not my favorites. I enjoyed the return of Mr. Hilliard, the emergence of Kitty Kat (their pet lion), and the way the Addams family terrified one or two people who rather deserved it. Some good parts: Wednesday and Pugsley's scuffle with an obnoxious boy (in which they get the better of him); Morticia and Gomez's swordplay; the feeding of the piranhas; and Morticia's beloved plants strangling each other. I also loved it when Gomez told Morticia not to worry that Hilliard would drain the swamps -- all politicians do exactly the opposite of their campaign promises!

The old Addams family show doesn't have the gloss and style of the movies and cartoons, but it's charming and funny. The laugh track, though, is unnecessary and too loud.
