Through syndication, it continued to be part of popular culture and the family were featured in animation through Scooby-Doo a couple of times. The Addams Family found mainstream popularity in the ‘60s and ‘70s, despite the show itself only running two seasons. As Astin told the Ocala Star-Banner in 1965, he was given “free rein” to inject the “Latin-lover blood in Gomez’s veins” with his portrayal of the character for the first time outside his cartoons.Ĭlearly the ‘60s was a different time and the same Castilian Spain stereotype would likely not fly today, but that’s how the Addams family’s Hispanic roots truly got its start. The black comedy sitcom began the Hispanic origins of The Addams Family when Charles Addams left the name choice up to the series’ actor, John Astin, who went with “Gomez” rather than Addams’ preferred given name of Repelli (a play on the word repellent), per The Smithsonian Magazine. Then came the iconic ‘60s television series. (Image credit: MGM Television) The Original Addams Family TV Series
