The Cultural History of The Addams Family

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/cultural-history-addams-family-180973315
Good article, but I'm just using it as an excuse to talk about my own history with it.

I credit the TV show with encouraging some of my weirdness.

I have a running list that I update every time I rewatch an episode: "Everything I needed to know about life I learned from the Addams family".

Some entries:
-When it comes to art, and appearance, de gustibus.
-Creative endeavors are important for life satisfaction.
-Question the stereotypes you learn in school.
-Bagpipes are a lovely musical instrument.
-It's ok to have a fetish but be polite about it.
-Pain sometimes feels good.
-Big vocabularies are fun.
-It's ok for men to cry.
