Episode notes
Fester is feeling lonely and is ready for love. He puts out a personals ad and mistakenly thinks the traveling cosmetics saleswoman is answering his ad. He finds her ugly and a poor match. Initially, Morticia and Gomez encourage him to give her a chance. After a flurry of misunderstandings, the saleswoman eventually flees the house to her relief and the Addams.
In this episode, Fivel and JohnPaul discuss how the Addams Family is TV's first mainstream family of neurodivergence. We imagine The Addams and Munsters as a wrestling promo. We also talk about the shifting family tree within the Addams Family universe, and how "special effects" have grown and evolved over time in the AF universe.
