The Addams Family are almost the perfect family. How so, you ask? There are lots of reasons, like Morticia being a feminist icon, or Wednesday being every goth girl's life goals, or Morticia and Gomez being the perfect couple. #relationshipgoals But first, where did the fictional characters of the Addams Family come from? You might be surprised to find out they started as a cartoon in The New Yorker and were created by American cartoonist Charles Addams in 1938. He created the  Addamses, a wealthy aristocratic clan who delight in the macabre, as a satirical version of the ideal 20th-century American family.  Since the Addams Family creation, there have been multiple TV shows, cartoons and movies about the family. Starting with the classic The Addams Family television show from 1964, to the superb movies,  Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993). (Who doesn’t love these movies???) Now The Addams Family are considered one of the most iconic families in American history. The Addamses have gotten their popularity for good reason. They are the opposite of the boring, dysfunctional sitcom family, which pits family members against each other for laughs.  Listen now to why Better Than Human thinks the Addams Family are the almost perfect family.
