The only way that show would even be the slightest bit entertaining is if the crowd just heckled him and made fun of him the entire time. He is a terrible comic. Great punching bag, though.

He looks like he's wearing a bald cap and it's wrinkling up all weird.

I commented recently on a Bonfire video that I saw Bobby inhale 2 and a half burgers at a red light and a bunch of people believed me.

That was my exact thought looking at this. Nice loose head skin, stupid.

I heard he uses dudes loads as a moisturizer for his bald head.

Naturally. If anything, they were probably impressed by his self-restraint.

Like if Christopher Lloyd let himself go so he didn't need prosthetics to be Uncle Fester.
Great fucking movies, by the way.

I'm kind of a fag for The Addams Family. I love the old sitcom too.

Dude me too. Not wild about the newer CG movies, however. But Luis Guzman as Gomez in Wednesday is inspired casting.

He does look just like Gomez from the comic strip

100%. It's spot on.
I have a hardback collection of Charles Addams strips, and man he went dark. A lot of suicide themed gags. I'm surprised that they flew back then.

he looks like a 22 year-old in movie makeup to make him look 54

John Astin was a great, but very sanitized, Gomez. To compensate for losing the dark humour, they embraced the absurdity of a macabre family unit being more loving and "normal" than typical households were.
The movies with Raul Julia were able to bring back the black humour and dark quips from the original strip. And for being Barry Sonnenfeld's first film - and a movie Orion sold off to Paramount mid-production to temporarily stave off bankruptcy - it still holds up. I still go back and forth on if the sequel is even better, sometimes it feels like it really is.
Gosia loved that show, and had to force me to watch it. Not my cup of tea as a procedural, but when they leaned into the family, like Fester and Gomez, THAT felt like the show I wanted to see. And she's a damn good Wednesday, almost as natural as Ricci.
American entertainment was so strange back then. Books and even plays could get away with a hell of a lot more than television and movies, especially before the rating system.
The post-code, pre-ratings era has a lot of classics, but also ruined the potential of plenty of films at the time.
