The good stuff

  • Messages:

    For all their weirdness and atypical behavior, the Addamses are a close-knit bunch.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    More gore than violence; even though it's animated, some of the macabre stuff in the Addams household could scare kids.

  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Some stereotypes and name-calling.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The Addams Family (Animated TV Series)

Parents need to know that the content in this animated incarnation of the famous ghoulish family is a bit of a mixed bag. The characters teach viewers not to fear or mock people who are different than they are -- but, on the other hand, their actions (and their house itself) can be scary and gruesome.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about being different. What does it mean when someone labels a person as "different"? Is it good or bad to be different? Is there a difference between being unique and being weird? How are the Addamses different from other families? Is their family weird or unique -- or both?
