Television Morticia and Gomez Addams may have had the most passionate and healthiest relationship of any television sitcom couple.

While other sitcom couples bickered, Gomez adored Morticia, and she adored him right back. They were madly in love, respected each other, were affectionate, and genuinely enjoyed being married. What do you think about these two? I think they are so much fun to watch. The entire series is different, creepy, entertaining and can be hilarious. A perfect mix of quirky characters. I love watching it.

My dad would always stop at the Sears candy counter after shopping. He would get his favorites like circus peanuts, orange slices and peanut clusters to share with us. It’s a great memory of spending time with my dad. Does anyone else remember having this experience and what candies and other treats would you get?

Sometimes we went around town with our red wagon even asking neighbors if they had any empty pop bottles. It was fun, and a good way to get some candy and other treats at the corner store. One of my favorite memories while visiting my cousins in the summer. What did you buy with your extra money?

This movie was the first remake of the classic musical, it originally aired in 1965(and repeated annually til 1977). Lesley Ann Warren starred as Cinderella and Stuart Damon as the Prince. It also starred Celeste Holm(Fairy Godmother), Walter Pidgeon(the King), Ginger Rogers(the Queen). My mom would make sure to turn this on every year for us to watch. It was such a beautiful movie and musical. I have watched it several times recently as it has been streaming. My 30 year old daughter watched it with me and enjoyed it. What are your memories of this fairytale movie?
