The show went viral after the episode in which Wednesday thoroughly destroyed some catcallers - and Adult Wednesday also came to the attention of the Tee & Charles Addams Foundation, which vigorously enforces the legacy of the Addams Family creator. Written, produced by, and starring Melissa Hunter, the show finds Wednesday as a young woman in her twenties, living away from her parents and their creepy house in a Los Angeles apartment, giving in to the same dark impulses the character experienced in different Addams media (and still rocking the all-black wardrobe and braids). That's the premise of Adult Wednesday, a 13-episode comedy series distributed over the internet from 2013 to 2015. In addition to all those various Addams Family movies and TV projects came one that examined its subject matter outside of the familiar environs - namely with little Wednesday Addams all grown up and living life as a deeply disturbed woman.
" Batman had come on opposite The Munsters, and a lot of the programming people thought of Addams and Munsters as the same kind of show," John Astin (Gomez Addams) told the Television Academy Foundation, "and they thought would" kill off the horror sitcoms - whose ratings had taken a steep decline - entirely if left on the air for a third season. The Munsters drew slightly more viewers than The Addams Family throughout the two-season standoff, and both would be canceled for the same reason - the campy, comical Batman, starring Adam West, became the new weird, must-watch TV show. The big differences were that the Addams clan was based on well-known comic characters and were essentially human those Munsters were made just for TV and based on old horror movie monsters. Both shows even premiered in the same week in September 1964. The show's most obvious competitor was The Munsters, which looked a lot like The Addams Family in that it concerned a misunderstood family who lived in a spooky house.
