message: Is it true that the characters in the Charles Addams cartoons did not have names - i.e., the character names first appeared in the television series.

replies: text: @74.104.189.176 After 'Irving' I believe there was a period of time they were going to name him Pubert (now his baby brothers name). Do you know who came up with pugsley? QuaggaZebra13 (talk) 06:50, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, my mistake. he was originally called Pubert but Aboriginals Ltd found the name unpalatable so it was rejected and changed to Irving for the dolls and pugsley for the TV series. QuaggaZebra13 (talk) 06:58, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

message: Hi everyone,
I have deleted the link of this article to a spanish page, because there's not a caracter's spanish page of the Addams Family. I would say that in reality, the link that I have deleted, was directing to the spanish disambiguation page of The Addams Family.
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english (I'm from Spain). --Paso del lobo (talk) 18:35, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

message: The lede says that Thing is a “disembodied hand”; I would say that that neglects the Thing in the New Yorker cartoons is not seen (it may even be limited to a single one-panel gag, of a “Beware of the Thing!” sign in a fence, in the manner of a “Beware of the Dog!” notice);and the fact that in the TV series, Thing is quite clearly “something” that lives inside a box, with the hand attached to an arm - part of the humour being that a much larger creature is housed in a too-small box, with access to many objects also too large to be housed there. Did Thing as a dismembered animate hand start in the movies, or did it have its origins elsewhere - print cartoon, TV animation, etc.? Jock123 (talk) 09:06, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I always imagined Thing as living in a parallel space, interfacing with ours in the boxes, which are too small for more than a hand to pass. —Tamfang (talk) 22:33, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

message: The wikipedia article Hall of Languages, Syracuse University asserts that "The iconic building has been prominently displayed as a representation of the University in many forums. The building served as creative inspiration for the Addams Family home in the TV show.
Is this valid?  Is it worth mentioning in this article?
Also, where are any linkable pics of the Addams Family's house?  I'd like to include or refer to some (at least by providing external links to them) in the Hall of Languages article.--Doncram (talk) 01:18, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

message: What happened to the Addams family Fun-house  musical variety show? It only got a pilot in 1973 before being cancelled, but there are no records of it that I have been able to find. QuaggaZebra13 (talk) 16:59, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

If Silla became the voice of Itt, that is (as I understand) a change.  If not, what did he do in the animation?  —Tamfang (talk) 21:56, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
