Ranking the Addams Family Live-Action Projects: From DOA to Cara Mia
A ranking of all seven live-action projects based on The Addams Family, from worst to best, includes Addams Family Reunion (1998) as the lowest-ranked due to poor execution and lack of original cast, while The New Addams Family (1998-1999) is praised for its low-budget production and homage to the original series. Halloween with the New Addams Family (1977) is considered mediocre, and Wednesday (2022-) is commended for its portrayal of the antisocial girl and a closer resemblance to the comic book prototype. Addams Family Values (1993) is a well-received sequel, and Barry Sonnenfeld's The Addams Family (1991) is highly regarded, with the original 1964-1966 show being considered the best adaptation.
