Synopsis: Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia Addams (Anjelica Huston), the horniest couple alive(?), welcome a new baby into their spooky family, causing their daughter Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and son Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) to act out (e.g. try to murder the baby*). To regain some control over their household, they hire a new nanny, Debbie (Joan Cusack). But when Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd), also horny, falls for Debbie, things go from wacky to a different kind of wacky.

The Episode
We recall Addams Family Values (1993) in celebration of spooky and kooky season. There's a baby with a mustache, maybe Elizabeth Banks, and LOTS of innuendo that we don't agree on. Plus, we have a visit from the classic Totes Recall character, Jet Pack Dog!
