>>>Addams Family :-). Great show. Munsters was too. My son and I still watch 'em. :-)

>>The madcap eccentric behaviour of the dad used to grate on me (still does in the later films). I loved Lurch though. I make his noise when people bug me :-)

>Really like the TV shows. Never saw the movie(s). Yeah, Ted Cassidy was really funny as Lurch. Sort of funny thinking of him in the Addams Family, then as Ruk, the big Android in the Star Trek episode What are little girls made of?

Funny - talking of Star Trek, the tall silent servant of Diana Troy's mother in STNG (a frequent and annoying visitor to the series) played Lurch in the 2 films.
