very quick WTF Wednesday

WTF is up with the Addams family cartoon? This is an insult to the original show. The kids are simpering idiots, Uncle Fester is a Jewish Drag Queen without the costume or the charisma, (and lets not kid ourselves, why do we really love our Jewish Drag Queens?) Morticia and Gomez have the chemistry of a q-tip (sidenote: My 4 YEAR OLD, who has seen the original, asked why this Gomez is such an idiot?) and Lurch has completely lost the Gary Cooper mystique and is little more than a glorified Eeyore. I could extend this to a WTF is up with the damn boomerang marathons this week but I was way too excited about a full day of Dexter's Laboratory to feel morally superior about that.

A full day of Dexter's Lab! Hooray! (This is the only part of this post I'm qualified to comment on...except the Jewish drag queen part, but that might be another comment).

I saw a commercial for the cartoon, and just can't do it - it looked lame. I loved the old series, and I really loved the movie (the first - still haven't seen the second - maybe I should get around to it). I LOVE Raul Julia as Gomez, and Angelica Huston is the perfect Morticia - I even tried to recreate her look for Hallowe'en one year.
