Lisa Loring's dance scene:



The new Wednesday Adamms, Jenna Ortega, tried to sneak in Lisa Loring's steps in her new, now famous, dance scene in the new Wednesday. But you'll only see it in a millisecond at the :50 second mark.

Off the subject but not off the subject…Cheyenne Mountain Zoo had a beautiful baby giraffe born the Wednesday before Halloween this year. The naming contest had some of the usual suspects with the addition of the name Wednesday! There was a bit of a kerfuffle but the zoo held strong with the ballot names. At the end of the contest Wednesday was the chosen winner. She is a beautiful babe full of ornery antics. I think the little one will live up to her name nicely. 😁

I remember reading an article when the show was on where a psychiatrist declared that the Addams were the least dysfunctional family on TV at the time. While most sitcoms involved deceit, trickery and ridicule among family members, the Addams may have been strange but they loved and supported each other. I think part of the show's lasting allure is that everybody knows every family is at least a little bit weird once you get past that front door.
