[The Addams Family](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057729/) first season has just recently been released on DVD. I really love how sex-mad Gomez and Morticia were.

Gomez and Morticia were definitely head over heels in love with each other, but still, with other television couples of old when husband and wife were inspired to embrace and kiss each other there was a sense of “Oh, Darling, How I love you so!” but when Gomez and Morticia were inspired to embrace and kiss each other it was more of a sense of “Oh my God! You are so fucking sexy! I must have you now!”

And it was just as much true for Morticia as it was for Gomez. Yes, there were many gags for which Morticia had to calm Gomez down for getting horny at inopportune moments but it was always very clear that she too really enjoyed sex, and truly owned and celebrated her own sexuality. Was this at all groundbreaking for 1964 television (it was before my time)? Particularly the aspect of Morticia as a woman owning her own sexuality?

When Morticia got horny, Carolyn Jones could do this thing with her eyes that told the audience that all the blood had just rushed to her vulva.

Since I never saw the Addams Family until over 20years after it had originally aired, it’s hard for me to view it within the context of the times. In 1964, were Gomez and Morticia Addams the horniest television couple to date?

Even five years later Mike and Carol Brady, who, it was made clear, thoroughly enjoyed each other sexually despite no longer wishing to procreate, weren’t nearly as horny as Gomez and Morticia.
