The Addams Family "Morticia And The Psychiatrist" Review

 


Fans of The Addams Family I will very fully freaking admit to you all right here and right now that I in all honesty had no idea of what it was that I was going to review for you all right now but tho there was one property that no matter how hard that I tried I simply couldn't stop thinking about. The Addams Family and so here is my review of the second ever episode of The Addams Family 1964 TV series sitcom with the freaking episode in question being called simply just "Morticia And The Psychiatrist" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is both Morticia and Gomez Addams start to become very concerned when there son Pugsley starts liking adorable little puppies and playing baseball and their concerns grow when Pugsley joins the boy scouts and so both Morticia and Gomez Addams turn to child psychiatrist Dr. Harold Black in the hopes of getting there son Pugsley Addams back to their form of normality. Now then in terms of what I personally thought about the plot of this episode in all honesty I thought that the plot of this episode was rather weak epically when compared to the plot of the first but at the same time the plot of this episode was still a very good plot and it was also a very engaging plotline / story line as well in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.   


Starring in this episode is John Astin as Gomez Addams , Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams and Ken Weatherwax as Pugsley Addams. Also starring in this episode is Lisa Loring as Wednesday Addams , Blossom Rock as Grandmama , Jackie Coogan as Uncle Fester , Ted Cassidy as Lurch and George Petrie as Dr. Harold Black. In what I personally found to be a rather shocking move this episodes main cast list is perhaps the smallest freaking cast list that i've seen for this show so far.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular / actual episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular / actual episode was in all honesty rather freaking good. This is something that which really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone since the acting in the previous episode was also really good and so it was nice to see that that the acting that's in this very / particular / actual episode was also really freaking good as well in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then one of the things that did well and truly freaking shock me about this episode in particular is that both Grandmama and Wednesday Addams only appear at the start of the episode with the characters not being mentioned or even seen for the rest of the episode. This was something that I found to be rather odd because of the fact that both Grandmama and Wednesday Addams are main characters and as such it would have been to nice to see what these characters were indeed up to during the events of this episode in my opinion anyways / at least.  


To me at least this episode is another good example of how good both Morticia and Gomez Addams well and truly are as parents. As as soon as they see that Pugsley isn't acting himself they both start to put things into place to make sure that he does start acting himself and heck even as the title of this episode would suggest they also both go and see a child psychiatrist to help get Pugsley back to his normal self / his normal ways.

Now then to further hit home the fact that both Morticia and Gomez Addams are indeed very good parents is the fact that they both actively try and spend more time with there son Pugsley Addams. Which is something you don't really see in alot of TV shows or movies these days and while it is indeed very freaking understandable when it comes to movies it's not really understandable when it comes to TV shows since with a TV show you have as much time as you need to tell a story and so you can very easily have an episode or two where the parents actively try to spend time with there kids but that's just what I think anyways and thats just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways / at least.


Now then as you can all no doubt very freaking work out by the plot summery that I provided for you all a the start of this very review this very / particular episode of The Addams Family is a Pugsley centric / centered episode. Which wouldn't be a bad thing if Pugsley was an interesting character however out of all of the members of the The Addams Family family Pugsley is the least defined character with his characteristics being whatever the plot needs them to be and as such while having an entire of a TV being devoted to him would indeed make sense since that way they could / can flesh out his character alot more sadly tho this episode take that opportunity and as Pugsley remains the leas interesting member of the The Addams Family family in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then this very / particular / actual episode is exactly twenty five minuets and forty two seconds long and in my honest opinion this episode had the perfect amount of running time in my opinion anyways / at least. Since this episode in particular didn't / doesn't have enough there in terms of plot or in terms of story and so having this episode be anywhere even close to thirty minuets long would be stretching an already pretty thinly drawn out story even thinner in my very humble and in my very honest opinion anyways / at least. 


Now then this episode is of course an episode of a comedy TV show after all and so that means that there are some actual jokes and funny moments to be found in this episode and so that means that I have to actually talk about the actual jokes / comedy / funny moments that are featured / presented to us in this very / particular / actual episode and in all honest I  in all honesty feel the the jokes / comedy / funny moments that are featured / presented to us in this actual episode are fairly decent at best. This is because I honestly do feel the jokes and funny moments that are in this very / particular / actual episode are fairy hit and miss with there sadly being alot more misses then hits but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways / at least.  


Overall this episode was indeed a fairly freaking weak episode and it's also a fairly freaking forgettable episode as well but with that being said when the episode does indeed want to be funny it can a really funny episode but there's sadly alot of unfunny jokes and alot of unfunny moments in this very / particular episode for to personally find this to be very enjoyable. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that in this very / particular / actual episode in this very / particular / actual review and as such all of that means that this very / particular / actual episode gets a grand score of a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images this film being the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page this is because all of the images that I got and that currently up and featured and on the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.
