Chekhov’s photo frame! That was a younger Greg (in a cowboy hat, no less!) in the photo with a younger Quentin, right?? 

If you are checking your word against a list before entering it, you are taking the “game” too seriously.

Consuming any food leads to death within a few decades.

Did you confused McD’s and Taco Bell somehow? I don’t think I’ve ever had bowel issues from eating at McD’s. Their food is so overcooked I don’t think anything’s alive in there anymore.

Aside from The Addams Family’s historic success as a family, there’s a reason NBC never launched spinoffs around Cosmo Kramer or Karen Walker. A good show needs a “straight character,” the main one from which the audience takes its point of view. Sure, we sympathize with certain characteristics of Norm from Cheers or…

And why is this being celebrated instead of being called out as extremely toxic?

I totally read the kids’ photo as implying they aren’t actually Cam’s…

Daphne definitely knew what she was doing, and those kids are definitely not Cameron’s.

We see the sarge drinking in an alley I think he might have figured it out.

But the moment you take that seriously is when it stops being comedy. No one wants Wednesday to be homecoming queen, she’s supposed to be overlooked by stupid, terrible people so she can put them in their place. “What if Wednesday was popular and beloved?” is the wrong thing to explore.

The show’s premise is broken from the start. So you’re putting Wednesday Addams in a school that is itself creepy and kooky and weird? Uh, where’s the tension there?  Wednesday is only funny when she’s fucking with the squares.

Zeta-Jones and Guzmán don’t have an ounce of chemistry between them.

It had been years since I watched the Addams Family movies, decades even, and in my older, wiser years, I was struck by how they are, for all their oddness, exemplars of the family. They’re loyal to each other, supportive of everyone’s interests and quirks. . The parents are loving and still deeply in love with each…

The Sonnenfeld films were at their best when the Addams’s were forced to live among normal society (getting evicted in the first film, summer camp in the second). It’s a shame this show doesn’t understand that.

very funny to retort ‘he hasn’t made a good movie in 30 years!’ with ‘no, he did one 20 years ago!’

The whole POINT of the Addams Family is that they don’t consider themselves outcasts.

The second Addams Family movie climaxes with Wednesday literally incinerating the Thanksgiving myth of New England colonists and Native Americans breaking bread and living in harmony. This show, which is even more specifically about the same character, invents a brand-new historical fantasy involving New England…

When I saw the trailer I was immediately excited about, and then gravely disappointed that she’s only briefly seen attending a normal high school before getting shipped off to Nevermore. I’d have much rather seen a series about Wednesday in the setting of a regular high school. Plus they could’ve had some fun with the…

My prediction was right. They “Sabrina’d” this fucking thing and of course it’s going to be fucking terrible.

They’re tedious, not kooky
Mediocrity’s not spooky
It left me feeling poopy
The Addams family . . . spinoff series Wednesday
