Gomez Addams train crash stages brillant

Ned Baily
   I always found the train crash stages in the Addams Family sixties programs as very bizarre and an applicable part of the show thrown in my an astute producer. The sheer delight of the numerous crashes seen in bits of the Addams Family can readily be seen in the character Gomez and this feature had to be be one of the best throw ins that was often repeated for filler to e of this half-hour comedy show. It was kind of interesting how they picked the adult Gomez to be the be crashing the train instead of Puglsley  which I am sure was discussed as an option being it a toy set and so forth. Whenever I throw in DVD of this show and pick a random episode if it is one with a train acne I really enjoy the scene and replay it back a few times. One can imagine an eccentric neurotic guy like Gomez Addams being overly excited by this Hobbes within a hobby destruction in the basement of his mansion.  The original Addams family kicked ass and was way better and realistic than the movie despite being several decades ago. The layout of the track used for this train set was also excellent and unfortunately  doesn't seem to exist anymore probably being dismantled days after the programs cancellation in 1966 instead of sitting in some train Hobby museum in rural Ohio. These seems bright many viewers delight and was witty enough to still be remembered by many fans of old television sitcoms.
