The Addams Family
1964 · TV series · 30 min episodes · 2 seasons
Created by Charles Addams
A satirical inversion of the ideal of the perfect American nuclear family, they are an eccentric wealthy family who delight in everything grotesque and macabre, and are never really aware that people find them bizarre or frightening. In fact, they themselves are often terrified by "normal" people.

Me too. Among many other things… Coogan played Uncle Fester in the Addams Family television series, Cooper played Jackie in the Our Gang / Little Rascals comedy series.
There was an Addams family episode way back where Gomez was depressed because everything he did would win big. So he decided to dump all of his shares of some stock that he knew was going to go up. And when news spread that he’d done it the stock tanked and he ended up “winning” because he saved so much money by selling before the huge dip. I’ve always thought that was interesting.
I don't mind the colorizations, but to give you some additional ammo for your argument, check out the TV show "The Munsters" and "The Addams Family". If you're not familiar, they're supposed to live in creepy dark houses, and in black and white, the houses do indeed look dark and creepy.
But in reality, those sets were bright pastels. Actual dark walls and floors didn't show up well on film. Which makes me wonder how right we are with some of our other colorizations.
You can google [what did the munsters set actually look like] to get some great examples.
