![]() It was a cleverly subversive program that shows one could be happy without fitting into society's standards. ![]() Gomez and Morticia were the first TV sitcom couple to have an implied sex life (a rather kinky one at that!), and the whole family was healthy and happy.if rather detached from established norms. The coffee table with bundles of $100 bills in the drawer ("Petty cash, my good man!"), Lurch's Basso Profundo groan, the Butler's Chime that shook the entire house (with the pull cord a full-sized hangman's noose), the torture chamber turned into a "play room", the quirky decor of the house and the family taking in the moon while others took in the sun. ![]() His only vices were smoking cigars and drinking brandy, yet he seemed to do both in moderation. Gomez was rich, happily married, dripping with Old World charm, had loving children, kind relatives, a devoted butler, lived in a great house, and the whole family did everything THEIR way, convention be damned! He made wild, passionate love to his wife (and could turn his libido on and off like a light.yet all Morticia had to do was speak French!), and instead of drinking with the boys, he'd unwind with either yoga, juggling Indian clubs, bouncing on his trampoline, or blowing up his train set. ![]() Believe it or not, as I watched this show in syndication when I was a tyke, I wanted to be Gomez Addams. ![]()
