An animated version of #TheAddamsFamily began airing on NBC September 8, 1973, depicting the Addams' on a cross-country road trip, exploring the US in their Victorian-style camper. #JackieCoogan and #TedCassidy voiced their original characters, #JodieFoster voiced Pugsley.
Here's an early Halloween treat! A member of The Addams Family is also a member of the Hatter Family. Ted Cassidy, who played Lurch, was not only a Stetson student but also a member of the men's basketball team.

He's best known as Lurch, but he was also a busy character actor + cartoon voice artist for 20 years.
