The Addams Family and the Spaceman - S1-E27
Other mistake: In this episode, the radio announcer said that the reported spacecraft was seen over the Cemetery Ridge District, and Morticia said "That's our area." However, in "Cousin It Visits The Addams Family" (S1: Ep 20) they are supposedly in the Greenbriar Woodlawn District.

The Addams Family Tree - S1-E5
Audio problem: With Morticia in his arms, he says "And I dropped you...only once." If you watch his profile, you can see that his face never moves. Hard to believe especially when you know he had an animated face.

Christmas with the Addams Family - S2-E15
Other mistake: As Morticia starts to play the flute, Gomez appears to have been filmed backwards, his hair and suit is reversed.

Christmas with the Addams Family - S2-E15

The Addams Family Goes to School - S1-E1
Audio problem: After Gomez suggests the rack for a stretch, he rings for Lurch. You hear Lurch say "You rang?", but his lips don't move.

Cousin Itt Visits the Addams Family - S1-E20
Revealing mistake: In the wide shot of the family watching Cousin Itt perform magic tricks, you can see Felix Silla's legs as they probably didn't intend for the whole character to be in frame.

The Great Treasure Hunt - S2-E19
Revealing mistake: When Fester gives the anchor to Morticia, she drops it, and it bounces back up. When she lays it down, the wire used to achieve the gag is easily seen.
6th Jan 2019
Continuity mistake: While playing chess, and when Pugsley calls him, Thing is a left hand. When he comes up in the garden area, he's a right hand.
4th Mar 2018
Continuity mistake: After the doorbell knob retracts into the frame, the door starts to open. After the angle change, the door starts to open again.
21st Jan 2018
Other mistake: As Kitty comes down the stairs, Hilliard screams, and Kitty goes back up. It's obvious the film was run backwards.

Morticia and the Psychiatrist - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Morticia is watching Gomez and the trains, at the second of the collision and explosion, it's a re-use of the shot when Mr. Hilliard is there, as in just a split second, you can see him, then there's Morticia again.

The Addams Family Goes to School - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Wednesday is first holding her doll, the buttons are facing forward. A second later, it's backwards.
28th Apr 2017
The Addams Family Goes to School - S1-E1
Other mistake: When Thing is first seen, he's a right handed thing. When Wednesday gets the mail from him, Thing is a lefty.

The Addams Family Goes to School - S1-E1
Other mistake: As Gomez and Hilliard come to the top landing, the supposed access behind Gomez at the top of the stairs can be seen to be either a blank wall or a door that should be a hallway.

The Addams Family Goes to School - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After Mr. Hilliard goes through gate and nears the house, it's really at the real house. A second later, he's approaching the now-familiar front porch on the studio set. This is easy to tell because the layout of the two porches are radically different.

The Addams Family Goes to School - S1-E1
Visible crew/equipment: If you look at the shrubbery, you can see the person performing our first glimpse of Thing moving around.
28th Apr 2017
The Addams Family Goes to School - S1-E1
Trivia: This is the only episode where the real house used for the exterior is seen. Also, the wrought iron fence is seen to not go all the way around the property.

Happy Birthday, Grandma Frump - S2-E22
Continuity mistake: As Morticia and Gomez play with the train, there is only one train on the set. When Gomez blows it up at the bridge, there is a second train in the midst of it. This is a reuse of stock footage.
9th Dec 2016
Visible crew/equipment: As Thing withdraws into the tree, in the wide shot, you can see someone's elbow pop out from the tree.
2nd Dec 2016
Question: Ted (Lurch) Cassidy was a total of six feet nine inches tall. A number of times, especially in Season 2 Episode 6, "Cousin Itt's Problem", it seems the top of his head barely clears to top of the door jamb. Were the doors seven feet tall back then?

Chosen answer: Being that this was filmed in a TV studio, the set would have been specially designed and built to accommodate Cassidy's height. Also, I live in an older house (100 years-old), and all the inner and outer doors are eight feet tall.
