Revealing mistake: As Morticia and Gomez throw the knives at the target, and they stack tip to hilt, we can see the wire they slide on.
The Addams Family Meet the VIPs - S1-E11
Revealing mistake: After Mr. Harris leaves the play room, Fester goes to lay down on the bed of nails. As he does, the squared outline of the board under his robe he lays on is visible.
Grandmama Addams: Fester, You're not cheating.
Uncle Fester: Sorry.
Trivia: Originally, Lurch was supposed to remain mute for the entire show. In the pilot, when the bell is first rung to summon Lurch, Ted Cassidy ad-libbed the line, "You rang?" This caused everybody to burst into laughter and from then on Lurch would talk.
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.
