The Addams Family - Volume 3



All Good Things Must Come To An End.
I so loved the Addams Family growing up. I will always consider the Addams Family America's True First Family no matter who is in the White House. This final season of the Addams Family is truly awesome. I really must give the studio responsible for releasing this series credit. Most studios tend to so completely over price these old vintage collectible gem's that most people pass them up as being way too expensive. Most folk find overpricing of old series an exploitation of the mostly older folk for whom these old TV shows hold the dearest memories.

Most people know that these series were made way back in the 1960's when the residual rights for actors ran out long ago. Even with the cleaning and other incidentals that come with re-releasing a series gone so long the often Huge Preniums most studios demand is outragouse.

NOT SO with this whole Addams Family 3 volume Set where the average per Volume price was kept to just over $20 each. With all the post...

The Final Volume!
Picking up where Volume Two left off, The Addams Family - Volume Three ends the series with the show's final 21 episodes. The 3rd of 3 cost-friendly volumes, The Addams Family - Volume 3 is a 6-disc (588 min.) set which features Full Frame (1.33:1) video; English mono audio; English subtitles; plus extras. Though The Addams Family (and rival show The Munsters) only lasted two seasons, decades of syndicated reruns helped to keep the show alive and popular with generations of viewers. Today you can preserve this classic B&W series in pristine DVD format. Here is a list of episodes contained in this volume, plus a list of extras:

1. Gomez, The Reluctant Lover
2. Feud in the Addams Family
3. Gomez, the Cat Burglar
4. Portrait of Gomez
5. Morticia's Dilemma
6. Christmas With the Addams Family
7. Uncle Fester, Tycoon
8. Morticia & Gomez vs. Fester & Grandmama
9. Fester...

the curtain unexpectedly comes down on TV's Addams Family...
The Addams Family ran for two seasons on ABC, from 1964 through 1966. Perhaps to generate greater sales, MGM Studios (now in bankruptcy) decided to break the two seasons (64 total episodes), into three "volumes". Volume 3 contains the last 21 episodes of the second and final season. Splitting the two seasons into three volumes was not the best way to package the program, and fans should consider The Addams Family: The Complete Series, which generally costs less than the three individual volumes.

John Astin stars as wealthy Gomez Addams, a lawyer and dabbler in the stock market. Carolyn Jones is his cultured wife Morticia, whose hobbies include raising carnivorous plants. Jackie Coogan is Uncle Fester, a strange fellow who can power a light bulb by sticking it in his mouth. Blossom Rock is Grandmama, a harmless witch. Ted Cassidy is Lurch, the butler, who entertains the family by playing the harpsichord. The Addams' children are played by Ken Weatherwax as the...
