Visible crew/equipment: Whenever Thing comes out of his little places you can see a wire that is used to open up the little hiding place.
The Addams Family (1964)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake in show generally
Starring: John Astin, Carolyn Jones, Jackie Coogan, Ted Cassidy
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: 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.
