The Addams Family
Season 2 of The Addams Family (1965–1966) continued the sitcom's run of 30 episodes, leaning further into the absurd and cementing the show’s legacy as a cult classic. While 1960s television was rarely serialized, Season 2 expanded the lore of the Addams world and introduced more of their extended, "unusual" family members.
All the world's a stage for Itt, Fester, and Lurch as they vie for the lead in Gomez's new play.
