Now, Netflix is taking another stab at the Addams Family, but this time focusing primarily on Wednesday Addams as she traverses high school. And although it may seem as if the characters who give the least emotion would be the least compelling, Wednesday has remained a deadpan wonder for years, helped in part by Christina Ricci's hilarious and engaging performance as Wednesday in Barry Sonnenfeld's The Addams Family and Addams Family Values in the '90s. Wednesday, on the other hand, is quiet, stone-faced, and ruthless. Pugsley, much like his father, is energetic. Parents Morticia and Gomez Addams have stayed hopelessly in love with each other for decades. Still, part of what makes The Addams Family so memorable is that they have largely stayed the same since being introduced to the greater public in 1964 with an ABC sitcom. The family's constant dance with macabre and standoffish demeanor is what makes them such a fun cast of characters to indulge in since their inception back in 1938.
Something about a Gothic family that's a little stranger than everyone else is both amusing and endearing to watch. Say what you want about reboots, but The Addams Family is one of those rare media franchises that seems to find success no matter what medium, era, or platform its placed in.
