The Addams Family - Season 1

Pugsley abandons his pet octopus for a puppy, is seen wearing a Boy Scout uniform, plays with a baseball bat, and helps an old lady cross the street. Distraught, Morticia seeks the counsel of psychiatrist Dr. Black.

Uncle Fester convinces Gomez and Morticia that it is time for him to find a mate. Fester conducts his search by putting an ad in a newspaper, and then mistakenly thinks a door-to-door cosmetics saleswoman is answering his ad.

Election fever grips the Addams household, as Gomez supports the council candidate whose campaign promise is to drain the town's disgusting bogs. Morticia, who likes "the lovely bogs," labels the candidate an extremist. But Gomez assures her that all politicians do the opposite of their campaign promises.

Pugsley and Wednesday start a row at a brithday party when their gift of a tarantula upsets Harold, the birthday boy. Harold's parents insist that the Addams children lack breeding and, therefore, are no longer allowed to play with their son. Gomez and Morticia then hire a genealogist to trace their heritage.

Gorgo, an escaped circus gorilla, is accepted as one of the family which shocks the Ladies League members Morticia's invited to tea. Gomez is pleased as Pugsley makes a friend of Gorgo, but Lurch is unhappy when Pugsley teaches Gorgo to do housework.
