The chemistry between John Astin and Carolyn Jones was fantastic. Sparks flew every time they did a love scene together. Astin said in later life that Carolyn was the one person that he missed the most.

The fact that John Astin outlived every member of the original cast is unbelievable. He will outlive all of us.

How many people think this would have been better in black and white?

This *is* the real Addams Family. You can't EVER beat the original, perfect John Astin/Carolyn Jones duo.

I was always glad they made this while most of the cast was still alive

Nobody can top Ted Cassidy, he was the best Lurch.

Carolyn Jones was still SMOKIN' HOT.

How can anyone dislike the original cast? If it wasn't for this cast the 90's version might not have even been made!

I was so excited to find this. It's going to be weird in colour since I am so used to it in Black and White. I think the Black and White added a certain effect to the show.

Goodbye Blossom Rock... RIP my favorite Grandmama she died a year after the movie in 1978..:(

Ted Cassidy had less than 2 years to live,he never even saw the 80s. Carolyn Jones died in August of 1983. The 70s were the Golden Years of my generation. What a wonderful time to be a kid.

This is a gem! Carolyn Jones will always be my number one Morticia Addams actress!

Why did it say special guest star Carolyn Jones? She's the original Morticia.

Carolyn looks like she hasn't aged a day when the original series ended.

77 and they already had Star Wars references.

This movie is 39 years old and Damned if it does not keep getting better all the time .

How does John Astin look as though he hasn't aged since the show? That's truly Spooky!

What a nice encore for the original cast! Shot on color tape instead of black and white film 10 years after the original show went off. They all still had it! John Astin was still hilarious. Carolyn Jones was still beautiful, Jackie Coogan was now even more bizarre, and Ted Cassidy hadn't changed a bit. Even the grown up Pugsly and Wednesday carried themselves nicely. This is really a gem and hard to find. Thanks for posting it!

Raul Julia was amazing, but nobody compares to John Astin.

Ohmygod, I just love Carolyn and John playing together

I like how the original Addams family's mansion was elegant and not totally dark like in the movies.

Actually in love with John Astin's Gomez

Lisa Loring just passed rip John Astin only one left now Carolyn Jones just beautiful

Lisa Loring - R.I.P.

Great to see Jackie and Ted reprise their roles before their eventual deaths.

seeing them in color is so surreal....just like the Munsters movie...total mind freak!

The Ophelia Frump cameo was easily my favorite part of this. She was my favorite member of the extended family so it was nice to see her again.

Ill be honest after binge watching the original series this is a hard watch lol

Really shows the amazing abilities of the cast, especially John and Carolyn. Even though it had been fifteen years since they had reprised their roles, they were the exact same happy couple, and it was like nothing had changed since the last episode of the second season! I have some issues with some aspects of this TV movie, I think the actors were just wonderful!

I know that I am young and wasn't born back then, but I love watching the classics. Better than is now on tv. :)

Carolyn Jones as Mortica was hot as sin!

I will always enjoy the Addams Family. Puts me in a good mood.

Anyone notice that Grandma Frump is played by the same actress who played Aunt Millie/Princess Millicent in the original series episode , “The Addams Family meets Royalty.”

I love Morticia. Beautiful, elegant, and confident. She brings out the beast in me

This is the very first time I ever saw this movie. It was awesome.

Carolyn Jones looks amazingly good here for being 47, and having endured some hard times in life, two failed marriages by then.

When I first saw this, I almost cried with joy! I had been an Addams family fan all my life and was disappointed that only 2 Seasons were filmed in black and white! Seeing this in colour made me think that there were going to be more much to my disappointment to learn that it was a one off! Nobody could ever replace John Astin in this role, which any new version could never come close to equating this! I saw John Astin perform on stage some 20 years ago in Adelaide Australia at the fringe in Edgar Alan Poe production just to see him ! It was one of the most memorable performances I have ever seen which still gives me goose bumps! Hope he will live to pass 100 in good health! Such a unique actor! Thank you for the Addams family memories!

I wish they did another series at this time with this cast instead just a special. Carolyn Jones is still breathtaking as Morticia and her chemistry with John Astin is unmatched. Jackie Coogan and Ted Cassidy were the best Fester and Lurch. Still the best Addams family line up to date.

Sorry, guys, I couldn't get through half of this. It was so out of character yet trying to keep with the style and campiness of the original. Good to see the old cast, though.

Good old movies & let's not forget the music also. Music and movies will never be the same nor will they will ever make movies as this again.Music back in the days made a change in life. We could write millions of reasons but I won't.

I don't know why exactly, but I love the song at the end. I'm strangely pathetic by hearing this. Btw John Austin is 85 years old this year. Sending all the best from Europe :)

Rip Lisa loring

This was great. I was expecting the worst, but the writing waa just like original. Touche

I watched this when it first came out. I was still sick, away from school for a 1 1/2 weeks. The song at the end was hauntingly sweet & I thought Carolyn Jones had such elegance. They overdid the "that's French!" between the "three Gomezes" but it was great to see this again after all these years, glad all except grandma returned. A shame "Lurch" died just the next year. Lisa Loring in that white outfit! Woah!

The 70's, Such a funky decade!

This is the Brady Bunch Variety Hour version of The Addams Family. Most of the players are there, but it's kind of an alternate universe version of the show... But like the BBVH, I'm still glad they did it even though it's so bizarre and different from the original.

Why isn't this out on dvd? This is a true classic.

This house is beautiful but I miss the old one.

This was Carolyn Jones' first role in years coming out of semi retirement, she was repressed by a domineering husband. He kept her hidden away in a secluded lakeside home. She lost many quality years, sadly Carolyn died just 6 years after this movie.

Anyone ever notice how Morticia's character isnt as cheery and loving as she was in the show?

"Merry, Creepy Halloween" has always been a favorite. I found this VHS in a bargain bin back in '95 and I watch it every Halloween season. Pretty much no one else I have ever met can enjoy this special.

Who's watching in October 2016?:)

I used to have this on tape, I was raised on this. The part that really made me crack up is when Lurch took them weights from that bodybuilder and threw it out the door, and those guys ran away. "I don't know about you, but I'm gettin' outta here."

PURE CLASSIC!!!! AWESOME REUNION T.V. MOVIE I LOVE THE ADDAMS FAMILY!!! "NEVER SAY DIE "

*I love this. I can't stop watching this. Even though, at first it was a little weird, seeing them in color. I'm so use to seeing them in black & white because of the TV series which I adore!! And I just am glad that The Addams Family still lives on today. I love them so much, wish they were my next door neighbors.*

36:04 gee, I thought Morticia would love the idea of Wednesday riding a motorcycle or being a daredevil, they're plenty dangerous. or maybe not eccentric/dangerous enough to that level.

This may not be perfect, but I still like it. I like the little continuity nods thrown in throughout it. I love that Lady Fingers lives with them now ( so the relationship worked out for Thing. That's CUTE!). And I truly love to see "my" Gomez and Morticia being just so perfect again (John Asten and Carolyn Jones just are the two people i personally picture when thinking of Gomez and Morticia). I also truly had fun seeing Fester throughout this, and especially his "helpful" acts to the wannabe thieves. Plus, that song is great. Now I know a Halloween Carol. :) That said, yes, this special was not perfect. The plot makes very little sense, I see no reason for the existence of the new "main" family members and at some point there were just too many people in the same suit running around in that house! - And of course it is sad that Blossom Rock was too sick to reprise her role. All in all I am happy I found and watched this, though. Thanks for uploading.

RIP to the original cast *Mortica Adams -* Carolyn Jones (1930-1983) *Pugsley Adams -* Ken Weatherwax (1955-2014) *Uncle Fester-* Jackie Coogan (1914-1984) *Gramama-* Blossom Rock (1895-1978) *Lurch-* Ted Cassidy (1932-79) *Thing-* Jack Voglin (1904-1982) *Voglin was one half that played Thing. Ted Cassidy also played the playful hand in the tv series*

I'm so thankful for this colored original Addams family ❤ I'm giggling everytime they talk about the lodge, the humor is superb 😂 I wonder if ever (let's say to be in real life version) Gomez need to attend the lodge's meetings, does he attend distracted in thoughts just wanted to finish it & go home to see Morticia or he keeps calling while doing stuffs inside 🤣

All of the original 1960s Addams Family reunited altogether here in 1977 ..reprising their roles all except the lady who played grand mama .n.who was a replacement..cause the original mama granny originally played by actress Blossom Rock..was too ill sickly in a hospital to play her role with the rest of the reunited original cast.. this new actress who played mama in my opinion didn't capture the wicked pitch with voice that the original mama had

Carolyn Jones...still hot

1955: Gomez and Morticia Addams give birth to a son. "Let's name him Pugsley!" 1958: Gomez and Morticia Addams give birth to a daughter. "Let's name her Wednesday!" circa 1970: Gomez and Morticia Addams give birth to anther son. "Let's name him Pugsley Junior! And retroactively name our first son Pugsley Senior! And only ever dress our new son in the same outfit of a black-and-white-striped shirt and black shorts, just like we did our first son!' circa 1970: Gomez and Morticia Addams give birth to another daughter. "Let's name her Wednesday Junior! And retroactively name our first daughter Wednesday Senior! And have our new daughter wear a dress just like the one we've always had our first daughter wear! And braid Wednesday Junior's hair in the same style as Wednesday Senior has always worn!"

They were lucky that Lurch was still alive to be in this. He died the following year.

It feels like it was filmed on a low budget camera. I do love that most of the original cast came back. 2022 Wednesday and the original are honestly the best

After the Addams family TV series ended in 1966 Blossom Rock suffered a stroke which left her unable to continue acting. She had been left unable to walk long distances and had slurred speech.

It’s so sad that Carolyn Jones died so young of cancer. I couldn’t believe she was married to Aaron Spelling. She was great in King Creole with Elvis.

Wow,Wednesday was about 18 or 19 when they did this,and she really grew up,and out!!!!

Is really cool how they got some of the guest stars from the old series to the bad guys and stuff

Modern day Addams family portrays Wednesday as a teenage girl. In the original, she was just a little girl in her pre-teens. The earlier series paid more attention to the parents. Since, today's world is more youth oriented, they started focusing on the kids. But to me, nothing beats the movies from the 1990s featuring Raul Julia, Angelica Houston and Christina Ricci.

They looked the same 😩I’m crying 😩😩😩❤️

Skip to 1:07:56 “Christmas and Easter bring wonderful treasures, but spirits and pumpkins bring far greater pleasures! Phantoms and ghosts, make wonderful hosts, and every year they convene, to wish you a merry, shh, creepy, Halloween…Scarecrows and black birds are always together, spiders spin cobwebs in overcast weather, goblins are brewing and banshees are crooning, a weird, and ghastly routine, to wish you a merry, shh, creepy, Halloween…This is a night, of heavenly fright, witches on broomsticks are up to their tricks, and poltergeists wail to the moon - which looks like a silver balloon! Frankenstein’s monster is having a ball, scaring the gargoyles right off of the wall. Boogeyman pranks and our favorite guests, and children are king, and queen. They wish you a merry, shh, creepy, Halloween!" This song is soooo hauntingly sweet!! Why 'o why can't iTunes sell it?? 😌🎃

John Aston now 93 years old ❤ we should all have such dna.

Morticia is still my Favourite! Nice to see that Lurch hasn't lost his dancing skills! 😁

Vintage John Aston as his character Gomez.

So much better in Black and White. Color loses its charm and mystery.

Anybody else watching this for Halloween 2020?

these folks didnt miss a beat in this, this is incredible. wish they kept going

I do wish they had rebuilt the sets and used the same sound effects from the show. It's just too different.

I watched this when it aired in 1977 and switched it off. Despite the reunion of most of the original adult cast, they couldn't live up to the original series. As mentioned below, the actors seemed bored, as if going through a reunion routine, or being let down at a class reunion because of the age factor. Perhaps the videotaping reduced their energy. Their mansion here looks too suburban, not "haunted" enough. It was interesting, though, the way Vic Mizzy rewrote his old theme to recall the original but make it as unlike it as possible - perhaps to signify the "new" in the "New Addams Family" or to circumvent whatever copyright issues lingered. (By the way, this would be one of Ted Cassidy's last appearances before his death two years later. Blossom Rock was too ill to reprise Grandmama, and she died the following year.) Thanks for posting this, for what it's worth.

John Aston is pure charisma and sexual charm. I cannot believe this exists in so happy!!!! ❤

Pugsley dressed up as a witch doctor would NEVER be allowed today. Hahaha I LOVE IT.

Lisa Loring looked really, really good. That's definitely the highlight of this movie.

They really went all out with their special effects budget, especially for "Thing."

Carolyn Jones as Morticia is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. To me she is the gold standard.

So nice to see in color ! I wish they all were still alive ! I love the aadams family!

Love this, except the cloned kids. They could have named them better like Pubert and Monday or something instead of Jrs.

Just goes to show that for everything there is a magical time and place. Taken from that time and place, even with the best of intentions, it's never quite the same.

This is the first time I've seen this in 42 years.

R.I.P. Ken Weatherwax!

19 year old Lisa Loring. Damn.

Kilka miesięcy temu oglądam tylko początek a teraz oglądałam całość. John astin jest jedyną osobą która jeszcze żyje z sitcomu z lat 60.

wow Wednesday is gorgeous!

I'm just glad to finally get to watch this. I saw part of it one Halloween night back when I was a kid. I ended up turning it to see a horror film that was airing. Bad choice. I always regretted not seeing it and now I finally have my chance. Good, bad, it's making up for a lifetime of regret.

Well in the 90's it was in black and white that is all we had until they made all the movies in color and the Adam's family and the Munsters will always be my favorite movies

I didn't even know about this??? I knew there was a Addams family black and white but didn't know about this... So great I love it

thank you for this gem!

Good thing there were still alive for the movie.

OMG you did this like 7 days after I was born 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

1977 was the year of TV Reunions of shows that were bigger in reruns and syndication: Adams Family, Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, My Three Sons,

One greatest movie. I never saw. Nice bring back good old days of Hallween night.
