About this episode
With the global success of 'Wednesday' on Netflix, Alex and Jordan are exploring the history of everyone's favorite creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky family — from its humble beginnings as a New Yorker cartoon to an endearingly weird '60s sitcom to the beloved '90s movies. You'll learn about the Addams Family's eccentric creator who had a secret affair with Jackie Kennedy, the show's mini-rivalry with 'The Munsters,' and the time director Barry Sonnenfeld built a pillow fort to hide from nightmare producer Scott Rudin. There's also the mystery of Lurch's missing bodily remains, the time Cher almost got cast as Morticia, and the story behind that banger of a theme song.
