Mother Lurch Visits the Addams Family S1:E17

Lurch learns that his mother (Ellen Corby) is coming to visit. Lurch admits to Gomez and Morticia that he told his mother that he owns the Addams house. Morticia suggests that Lurch act like the man of the house, and Gomez and Morticia will act as his servants. Once Lurch's mother arrives, Gomez and Morticia sense their mistake. While Lurch takes only too well to the concept of being head of household, the old woman treats Gomez and Morticia poorly. She even goes so far as to have Lurch fired them. When Mother Lurch mistakes Fester and Grandmama as the new servants, she decides that she can leave now. It might take a bit of time to get Lurch to realize that he is the butler again.Fivel and JohnPaul talk about our relationship to horror the genre, newspaper comics, the poison of negative energy, Stephen Graham Jones, Friday the 13th series, The Waltons, and why girls love monster boys.
