The Addams Family (1964) Season 1 Episode 11

Visiting dignitaries from an Iron Curtain country want to see a “”typical”” American family. Mr. Harris, the Government agent, is resistant to the idea. Mr. Haan insists, so they get out the phone book and randomly select a name. They land on the Addams listing. Mr. Harris tries to dissuade them from visiting the Addams claiming that they’re not normal. This further fuels the V.I.P.’s desire to visit the family. The V.I.P.’s assume the Addamses are the typical American family. They visit the house and see Cleopatra, Morticia’s carnivorous plant, Uncle Fester’s ability to generate electricity, Pugsley’s ray gun and Lurch, who they assume is a robot. They conclude that Americans highly advanced in science and technology. Mr. Klarpe makes a note of it and they make a report back home.
