"Successful" remakes of the Addams ...Bob,<br />"Successful" remakes of the Addams Family TV Series are difficult to make. The script and performances flowed so well, but more significantly, I think, the main characters of TV series showed us that we can be genuine without apology for our uniqueness which does not fly so well these days. Today, there is a prevailing expectation that our differences need to be understood and categorized before they can be accepted. I am confident that I could enjoy the play you and Laurie saw, but I would not expect it to promote the ideals of the original show.Scott Doddnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845702870928214135.post-44719952658884067272010-03-26T14:50:38.439-04:002010-03-26T14:50:38.439-04:00Im not saying anything.

There are a few jokes -- most notably, "I thought she was YOUR mother." -- that came from them. But since there was no continuity in the single-panel cartoons (and certainly no music), saying the show is based on them is like saying "Jesus Christ, Superstar" is based on DaVinci's painting of "The Last Supper."Bob Rozakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02053075963359182633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845702870928214135.post-79641143794435707502010-03-26T08:53:58.916-04:002010-03-26T08:53:58.916-04:00The show is based on the comic strips from the New...The show is based on the comic strips from the New Yorker, not the TV show that you compare it to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
