New artistic models of the characters were used for this series, though still having a passing resemblance to the original comics.

Dick Beals as Norman 'N.J.' Normanmeyer Jr.Īdditional voices were provided by Ernest Harada, Susan Silo, Pamela Segall, Marcia Wallace, and Héctor Elizondo Production.

Rob Paulsen as Norman Normanmeyer - The actor based on the character's voice on an impersonation of Paul Lynde.

Jim Cummings as Lurch - The actor also voiced several other minor characters in the series.

John Astin as Gomez Addams - The actor reprised his role from the 1960s TV series.

In additional, writers also ensured that the plots for episodes followed a similar nature to those written for other Saturday morning cartoons of the period. An example of this is Gomez's love of cigars not being shown, along with his response to his wife's use of foreign languages being reduced to a mere kissing frenzy. Most episodes focus on a single story that concludes with the Addams celebrating their success with a family dance.Īs with the 1973 series, the macabre nature of the Addams family was toned down in order to be acceptable for children. In some stories, the Addams find themselves dealing with the Normanmeyer family who seek to exploit their situation or thwart their schemes in order to be rid of them from the town the exception being the family's only son, who is friends with the Addams children.

Much of the plot lines focus on mostly the family dealing with an issue concerning their lives, which they seek to resolve. The series focuses on the Addams Family at their ancestral home in the fictional town of Happydale Heights. The series' development began in the wake of the successful 1991 Addams Family feature film. It is the second cartoon show to feature the characters (the first was the 1973 series, also produced by Hanna-Barbera), and ran from September 12, 1992, to November 6, 1993, on ABC.

The Addams Family is an American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and based on the eponymous comic strip characters by Charles Addams.
