====''The Addams Family'' (1973)====
{{Main|The Addams Family (1973 animated series)}}
The first animated series ran on Saturday mornings from September 8 –
December 22, 1973 on [[NBC]]. In a departure from the original series, this series took the Addamses on the road in a [[Victorian architecture|Victorian-style]] [[mobile home|RV]]. This series also marked the point where the relationships between the characters were changed so that Fester was now Gomez's brother, and Grandmama was now Morticia's mother (though the old relationships between the characters would be revisited in the 1977 television movie, in order to retain its continuity with the original sitcom). Although Coogan and Cassidy reprised their roles as Uncle Fester and Lurch, Astin and Jones did not; their parts were recast with Hanna-Barbera voice talents [[Lennie Weinrib]] as Gomez and [[Janet Waldo]] as Morticia, while a ten-year-old [[Jodie Foster]] provided the voice of Pugsley. Again, the characters were drawn to the specifications of the original Charles Addams cartoons. The show also had appearances from Thing, Cousin Itt, Kitty Kat and Cleopatra from the original series. The show also introduces new Addams Family's animal companions, such as Ali the [[alligator]], Ocho the [[octopus]] and Mr. V the [[vulture]]. One season was produced, and the second season consisted of reruns. The show's theme music was completely different and it had no lyrics and no finger snaps, although it retained a bit of the four-note score from the live-action show.

=====''The Addams Family Comic Book''=====
From 1974 to 1975, Gold Key Comics produced a comic book series in connection with the show, but it only lasted three issues. Each issue was adapted from a TV episode, starting with "In Search of the Boola-Boola" (October 1974).<ref>{{Cite comic |Penciller=Bill Ziegler |Inker=Bill Ziegler |Letterer=Bill Ziegler |url=https://archive.org/details/HannaBarberasTheAddamsFamily1GoldKey1974/mode/2up |Title=Hanna-Barbera The Addams Family |Issue=In Search of the Boola-Boola |Date=1974 |Publisher=Gold Key Comics}}</ref>
