| Christmas With "The Addams Family" 12/65 | | "Christmas with the Addams Family"
This was aired on December 1965.A mean neighbor tells the children there is no Santa Claus.
Uncle Fester is chosen to slide down the chimney dressed as Santa Claus to prove the existence of St. Nick to the children.Fester gets stuck in the chimney, so Gomez, Lurch, Cousin Itt, and even Morticia and Grandmama each don a red suit and appear to the children. Each not knowing the other is doing the same thing. The children do catch on to them. At the end, all the Addam Santas are standing around the children. They hear a noise. And when the look into the living room. Where their dead undecorated Chirstmas tree was. There was now a beautiful fully decorated tree. Presants wrapped and I think bicycles are also there. Everything is sparkling like magic. They all look at each other. Knowing none of them had done it. Then they all gather for a Christmas Carol. The Addams Family first premiered September 18, 1964. It last aired on September 2, 1966. Below a few links with lots of great photos and information.Morticias Morgue

| | | TV Land Lists 100 Greatest Catchphrases | | Sometimes it takes only a word, or just a few, to become immortalized in television history.
The TV Land cable network has compiled a list of the 100 greatest catchphrases in TV, from the serious Walter Cronkite's nightly signoff "And that's the way it is" to the silly: "We are two wild and crazy guys!"
The network will air a countdown special, "The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catch Phrases," over five days starting Dec. 11.
We have found that television is such a huge part of baby boomers' DNA that it makes sense that so much of America's pop culture jargon has come from TV," said Larry Jones, TV Land president.
The greatest number of moments, 26, come from the 1970s. TV Land identified nine moments from this decade. Ten are from commercials, and 28 from comedies, including six from "Saturday Night Live."
In alphabetical order, TV Land's list:
_"Aaay" (Fonzie, "Happy Days")
_"And that's the way it is"
_"Ask not what your country can do for you ..." (John F. Kennedy)
_"Baby, you're the greatest" (Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden, "The Honeymooners")
_"Bam!" (Emeril Lagasse, "Emeril Live")
_"Book 'em, Danno" (Steve McGarrett, "Hawaii Five-O")

| | Paul Rudnick Has Fun With Gay Marriage | | Early in Paul Rudnick's new play, a man is asked if he ever considered marrying his longtime companion. "If you really want to ruin something," he responds, "just add crab cakes and God." It's a line that sets the tone of "Regrets Only," Rudnick's comic take on gay marriage, the latest from a playwright who's previously tackled God, AIDS and the closet.
"I love raising the stakes as high as possible because I think that makes the plays funnier and it makes them matter on some level," he says. "There's a certain sense that certain topics are not appropriate for humor and I've rarely found that to be the case." The play centers on a wealthy New York couple he a powerful attorney; she a socialite and their dearest friend, a clothing designer modeled along the lines of Bill Blass. The three exist in a fabulous bubble, filled with swanky benefits, luscious cocktails and gorgeous hors d'oeuvres. That is, until the husband is asked by no less than President Bush to help write a constitutional amendment outlawing gay marriage. Can the bonds of friendship endure such a strain? Will this be the issue that finally galvanizes the well-fed apolitical to action?... | |

| | Paul Rudnick Has Fun With Gay Marriage | | Early in Paul Rudnick's new play, a man is asked if he ever considered marrying his longtime companion. "If you really want to ruin something," he responds, "just add crab cakes and God." It's a line that sets the tone of "Regrets Only," Rudnick's comic take on gay marriage, the latest from a playwright who's previously tackled God, AIDS and the closet.
"I love raising the stakes as high as possible because I think that makes the plays funnier and it makes them matter on some level," he says. "There's a certain sense that certain topics are not appropriate for humor and I've rarely found that to be the case." The play centers on a wealthy New York couple he a powerful attorney; she a socialite and their dearest friend, a clothing designer modeled along the lines of Bill Blass. The three exist in a fabulous bubble, filled with swanky benefits, luscious cocktails and gorgeous hors d'oeuvres. That is, until the husband is asked by no less than President Bush to help write a constitutional amendment outlawing gay marriage. Can the bonds of friendship endure such a strain? Will this be the issue that finally galvanizes the well-fed apolitical to action?... | |
