="The New Addams Family"=

In 1998, cable network Fox Family Channel produced a new version of "The Addams Family (TV series)", alongside Saban Entertainment, entitled "The New Addams Family". This version featured an entirely different cast and was well-received (in contrast to "Addams Family Reunion" movie). Gomez was played by John Astin look-alike-sound-alike Glenn Taranto. The show reworked several storylines from the original series while incorporating modern elements, jokes, and references into the episodes. The show even had a new, Mexican-type theme song. John Astin (Gomez from the original series) played Grandpa Addams, Gomez's father in this short-lived series. 65 episodes were made, one more than the original series. It was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. the Show ended in 1999.

Cast

*Glenn Taranto - Gomez Addams

New theme

The new theme, performed by the cast, was a complete departure from the familiar tune that had served (almost) all previous adaptations of the series. The familiar finger-snapping was present, albeit at a faster pace, and accompanied by two different characters (first Lurch, then Gomez) saying the word "snap" twice in rapid succession to match the beat.

Welcome to the Addams Family/How ya do? The Addams Family/Come into the Addams Family now

(Cha-cha-cha) (Lurch: Snap, snap)

Wonderfully scary/And pleasantly hairy/Delightfully? Very/It's the Addams...Family!

Welcome to the Addams Family/Go into the Addams Family/Come into the Addams Family now

(Cha-cha-cha) (Gomez: Snap, snap!)
