Welcome to another bonus episode of Calm History, an extra treat for my Soak Plus members.

In bonus episode number 21, I covered the history of the classic TV sitcom Gilligan's Island.

I included fun facts about the origin, storylines, production, characters,

and actors. In this episode, I'm going to do the same thing with the classic TV show,

The Adams Family. Curiously, both shows debuted on TV at the same time in September of 1964.

This episode will focus on the original TV version of the Adams family from the 1960s,

but I'll also cover later versions,

including the spin-off that's currently on Netflix, titled Wednesday.

In this episode, you'll hear about the origin of the Adams family,

along with curious facts about Morticia,

Gomez, Uncle Fester,

cousin it,

Fing, Pugsley,

and of course,

the ever woeful Wednesday.

I'll also share some related trivia about John Quincy Adams,

hobbled dresses, a Nobel Prize winner, Return of the Jedi, The Incredible Hulk,

Patty Duke, Kate Winslet, Aaron Spelling,

Shaquille O'Neill, Jody Foster, Elvira, Snoop Dog, and why the daughter of the

Adams family is named, Wednesday. In the near future, Adams family is named Wednesday.

In the near future, I'll stitch together this episode and my prior episode about Gilligan's Island,

so you can relax with a one-hour, soak-plus bonus episode about my favorite goofy TV shows from 1964.
