One episode has a Tombstone Trivia track (think “Pop-Up Video”), and there are a few commentaries as well, but the one from author Stephen Cox is decidedly more illuminating than those from Thing and Cousin Itt. In addition, a slightly less impressive interactive featurette is “Guest Star Séance,” which “conjures up” clips of the series’ more notable guest stars, along with a spooky voiceover, offering a few tidbits of trivia about each person.
In addition to 21 episodes of the creepiest, kookiest, most mysterious and spookiest family of the ‘60s (sorry, Munsters, you’re just not even in the same league), there’s a very interesting featurette entitled, “Mad About The Addams,” where experts discuss the history of the show, as well as its cultural impact. It’s still a little mystifying as to why MGM decided to release this series in volumes rather than full-season sets, but, ultimately, you have to just accept it and say, “Eh, at least they’re here.” And, more importantly, the studio’s had the class to add a lot of special features.
