A Real Home
Speaking of Gomez, that house he and the family in The Addams Family sitcom lived in was an actual home. Yes, the house featured in the opening credits sat at 21 Chester Place in L.A. The Addams Family special effects technicians even added in a third floor with a tower to make it appear a bit more spooky. However, you can’t visit the home today because they demolished the home sometime between 1968 and 1972.

Sadly, the original The Addams Family only aired for two seasons. It seems that since The Munsters also aired around the exact time The Addams Family debuted, people grew tired of monster sitcoms. Both sitcoms lasted just two seasons. Felix Silla (who played Cousin Itt) said, “We had good writers. It was a light comedy, but it was well done. That year ABC canceled The Addams Family. They canceled The Munsters. They canceled everything!” However, Carolyn Jones (she played Morticia) kept a neutral outlook, saying, “Perhaps the only answer is: That’s television!”
