The New Addams Family

It’s Halloween and the Addams Family are enjoying their favourite holiday when they are robbed. Unfortunately for the robber, they enjoy being robbed even more than Halloween itself.

Wednesday recites an incantation and brings cousin Vlad Addams back from the grave. Vlad wants to kill Gomez and marry Morticia, but is unsuccessful in his attempts. Gomez becomes despondent when he incorrectly thinks that Morticia is accepting Vlad.

The school board finds out that Wednesday and Pugsley have never been to school, and insists that they be enrolled immediately. Gomez and Morticia are rightly concerned about how the first day of school will be for the kids.

Fester breaks up with his girlfriend Cruella and goes into a state of depression. The family tries to help him out, and everything looks rosy when it appears that Lucretia, Fester’s date by mail order, arrives.

Newlyweds Hubert and Amanda Peterson move in to the house they’ve rented next door from the Addams family. When they find out about their new neighbours and landlords, they try desperately to get out of the lease.

Grandpapa Addams comes to stay with the family while they rebuild his neighbourhood. The family knows he still misses his late wife, and make arrangements to surprise Grandpapa with a gift – two weeks at Club Dead, a swinging resort for singles.

Pugsley comes home with a crush on his teacher. He takes one of the love letters that Gomez sent to Morticia, and sends it to his teacher. When she comes to the Addams family house to inform them about it, she is led to believe that Gomez sent it.

Cousin Melancholia’s fiancee ran out and left her, so she shows up at the Addamses house all despondent. They try to find her another suitor – a mailman zooms off, Lurch won’t agree, Fester only dates criminals, and Thing fingers off.

Wednesday gives Harold Pomeroy a black eye at school after he says his family was better than hers. His smug father, Cecil Pomeroy, comes to the Addams family house for an apology. Cecil and Harold get to “enjoy” the family Addams.

While Mama gives everyone extremely inappropriate gifts, Cousin Itt’s girlfriend Contessa throws him out because she finds out about Eudora, Simone, Lucinda, Monica and Cosuma.

Wednesday comes back from school after painting a black rainbow and getting an “F” on it. Her teacher, Miss Crank, says Wednesday will fail art if she doesn’t use colour. So Gomez tries to hire the world famous artist Leopold DaMinci as an art tutor.

It’s Thing’s birthday. Thing opens Fester’s mail and Fester and the family yell at him and none of them remember his birthday, so Thing runs away. The stress of fighting with Thing causes Fester to start growing hair on his head.

Fester’s chatroom girlfriend is coming to visit. He feels he is out of shape and wants to lose weight. The family tries to help him and even get him a personal trainer. Meanwhile, Wednesday finds Uncle Ripper’s magic kit.

Gomez and Morticia are celebrating their 13th Anniversary by telling Wednesday and Pugsley how they met. Gomez was pre-ordained to marry Morticia’s sister, Ophelia, for whom he had no affection.

Wednesday and Pugsley ask to hear the rest of the story about how Gomez and Morticia met. The story continues – with the complications that arose when Cousin Itt and Cousin Vlad became involved.

Gomez and Morticia continue the story of how they came to be married. Gomez struggled with how to get out of his arranged marriage to Ophelia and both Cousin Vlad and Cousin Itt became involved in the dilemma.

Cousin Itt is very disappointed that he didn’t get the role of Hamlet at the theatre. So Gomez dusts off an old play he wrote, casts Itt as the lead, and hires a director for it.

After reading an article by Dr. Pierre LeBlanc titled “The Dangers of a Happy Marriage”, Fester gets the family to try to help make Gomez and Morticia fight with each other.

Ginger, a girl Fester has been e-mailing, is coming to meet him. But Fester lied to her about himself, and wonders what he’s going to do about his hair, which he told her he has. So a toupee salesman is called.

When Lurch is invited to the Butler’s Costume Ball, he refuses to go because of what happened at the last dance he went to. A dance instructor with the help of Fester and Gomez give Lurch dance lessons, and Lurch is finally persuaded to go.

Pugsley joined the Junior Troopers so Morticia called a psychiatrist who suggests that Pugsley just wants their attention.

Cousin Melancholia and her fiancee Digby Henson arrive at the Addams' house but Fester is suspicious of Digby so spies on him!

The Addams are selecting stuff to donate for the charity auction but donate Pugsley’s tiger-head clock, much to his annoyance!

Morticia invites the PTA over to her house for a meeting. Pugsley wants to go to the circus to see Gorgo, the flying monkey.
