The Addams Family
From Muppet Wiki
The Addams Family was a television sitcom based on recurring, but previously nameless, characters in the works of cartoonist Charles Addams. The series focused on a ghoulish family and their unique view on life, and ran on ABC from 1964 until 1966. The series spawned a number of spin-offs and remakes, including two animated series, two live-action theatrical films (The Addams Family in 1991 and its 1993 sequel Addams Family Values), a second TV series, and the direct-to-video feature The Addams Family Reunion.
