Like… honey you can dance naked and enslave someone with your womanly charms if you want to, I don’t fucking care, but so help me you’re going to get a college education first. A+ PARENTING The Addamses are what every family should aspire to be like (you know; without the dismemberment and electric chairs as play time). Honestly, have you ever seen more unconditionally loving and supportive parents than Gomez and Morticia? And not just with the kids, but with each other. I think what’s especially unique about them is how open they are with everything. They don’t treat their children like children. They treat them like they treat everyone else; direct, and to the point. It’s creepy how many good examples of parenting and romantic relationships there is in these characters, especially considering they are supposed to be the antithesis of the stereotypical American nuclear family. They were more of the antithesis to American sitcom families. Sitcoms in the 50s and 60s acted like they were portraying perfect, wholesome families but you’d see a husband spanking his wife on I Love Lucy or threatening to punch his wife on The Honeymooners. Even today, the humor in family sitcoms comes largely from people being rude to each other. The Adams Family used off the wall humor like playing with electric chairs instead of getting laughs through family members insulting each other. -- source link
