Starring: John Astin, Carolyn Jones, Jackie Coogan, Ted Cassidy
The Addams Family Meet the VIPs - S1-E11
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.
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.
Gomez: The L stands for Lucifer.
Morticia: Very appropriate for a politician.
Trivia: John Astin (Gomez), Carolyn Jones (Morticia) and Ted Cassidy (Lurch) are the only actors to appear in all 64 episodes of the show.
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.
