I forgot that the actor who plays Lurch was the replacement for Peter Mayhew in the current Star Wars films

In which Wednesday Addams is played by Jenna Ortega’s stand-in…?

I've seen worse interpetations of real people as action figures but this is definitely not one of the better ones either.

Finger's crossed but it looks like maybe Pugsley might be less of a wiener this season lol

Had seen the Wednesday cookies and cream one last Halloween, yet Enid just launched "Howlin’ Confetti Cake"? for the summer, actually pretty clever, giving Chocula & Franken Berry(or rather Fruit Brute) some competition.
Won't vouch for the flavors, though definitely fun box concepts.

Though to bad they can't go the fun Cereal Killer rout.

How many seasons is this show, ideally?

BURTON I don’t think that way. You’re talking to two of the worst people to ask that question.

Very refreshing than the usual “we have 18 seasons mapped out!”

Now I see why they have a spinoff in the works in case Burton/Ortega walk after Season 3.

Netflix's track record with shows isn't the greatest.

Seems Wednesday is doing the one per season story arc which is good.

I hate "mapped out" seasons because it's more often than not they are cancelled before their pre-planned ending, assuming they do have one and aren't just making it up as they go along.

A happy medium is plan for each season with a conclusion, not leave it on a cliffhanger for the next unguaranteed season or realize you wrote yourself into a corner making it up to whatever ending you thought you had.

Also, you know, Burton isn't a TV guy.

I am simultaneously curious about this and terrified.
