Farnsworth on Addams Family

[MadMan]

It's funny how MGM is posting a bunch of Addams Family episodes now. Doubtless they're trying to promote the new animated film.

It wasn't that great, tbh.

One thing I noticed about that Adams family episode,when the family asked "thing" to turn the volume down,"thing" rotated the focus knob.ha. that's Hollywood for ya.

Why so many knobs on the front of that Farnsworth TV?

My TV I'm working on which was made about 3 years after that TV only had 3 knobs on the front (not including the knobs for the tuner), of which all three of the knobs on the front were dual purpose knobs, knob one being the power/volume switch, knob two being the brightness and contrast controls, and knob three was the vertical and horizontal hold controls.

I always thought they kinda blew it with Thing , here was supposed to be this possessed severed hand in a box , and the hand looked WAY too neat & clean !

It should have looked like Frankenstein's hand , all moldy and nasty with nail rot and a few chunks missing , THAT would have been creepy
