Originally unnamed (as were all of the family members), the character who was apparently the prototype for Pugsley first appeared in the Charles Addams cartoons in The New Yorker during the 1930s. Pugsley was represented as being the oldest child of Morticia and Gomez Addams in the original series: he is a young boy (his age is given as eight years old in the pilot episode but is changed to 10 years old in the second episode) who is almost always seen wearing a striped T-shirt and shorts.
He is often shown releasing sailboats in the park with other children, except his boats were more macabre in nature. Pugsley is depicted as a devious, young, brilliant boy in Charles Addams's original cartoons. Pugsley Pubert Addams is a member of the fictional Addams Family, created by American cartoonist Charles Addams. Occasionally, episodes would feature other relatives such as Cousin Itt (Felix Silla), Morticia's older sister Ophelia (also portrayed by Carolyn Jones), or Grandma Frump, Morticia's mother (Margaret Hamilton).Ken Weatherwax as Pugsley in The Addams Family television seriesįester (maternal grand-uncle, but paternal uncle in the more modern incarnations)ĭebbie Jellinsky-Addams (aunt) (deceased)
Along with their daughter Wednesday (Lisa Loring), their son Pugsley (Ken Weatherwax), Uncle Fester (Jackie Coogan), and Grandma (Blossom Rock), they reside at 0001 Cemetery Lane in an ornate, gloomy, Second Empire-style mansion, attended by their servants: Lurch (Ted Cassidy), the towering butler, and Thing (billed as "Itself" but actually portrayed by Cassidy and occasionally by Jack Voglin when Lurch and Thing appear in the same scene), a disembodied hand that usually appears out of a small wooden box.
The very wealthy, endlessly enthusiastic Gomez Addams (John Astin) is madly in love with his refined wife, Morticia, née Frump (Carolyn Jones). No explanation for their powers is explicitly given in the series. The Addamses are a close-knit extended family with decidedly macabre interests and supernatural abilities.
