Still, for now, Grandmama Addams comes in at the bottom of the list.
Netflixs Wednesday has many cameos of iconic Addams Family characters.
One of them is conspicuous by their absence but may show up in later seasons.
Therefore, he’s a far less present character in any of the variousAddamsFamilyadaptations.
This is especially true forWednesday, which takes place at Nevermore Academy rather than the Addams Mansion.
This means there is a little less personality or moments on screen to contribute to his ranking.
Still, it’s hard for young audiences especially not to love Cousin Itt.
In recent adaptations ofThe Addams Family,Pugsley has served to support the growing prevalence of Wednesday’s character.
In Netflix’sWednesday, Puglsey helps reveal Wednesday’s softer side.
He’s fiercely loyal, extremely eccentric, and a romantic at heart.
Gomez was immortalized in the ’60s television series by John Astin and in the ’90s films by Raul Julia.
Morticia’s character and relationship with Wednesday was changedslightly for Netflix’sWednesday, and this was a divisive shift.
When layered with the previous version of Mortica’s character, this only makes her all the more interesting.
Part of the hunched, bald galoot’s charm is that he never takes anything seriously.
Despite his bizarre behavior and looks, he loves his niece and nephew dearly and idolizes their parents.

This is demonstrated by the buzz when Fester made a surprise appearance inWednesdayseason 1.
Despite being only a hand, Thing has an immense personality.
Her macabre sensibilities communicated in her deadpan humor made for some of the biggest laughs in her various incarnations.
Initially, she was introduced as six years old, with a fascination with sharp objects and spiders.
Then, inWednesday, Jenna Ortega takes her character to another level entirely.
Which Version Of Each Character Is Best?
Both sets of actors deserve a mention.
The originals set the template for the character’s appearance and personalities.
There are also debatable choices for supporting family members, but it usually comes down to personal preference.
While Christopher Lloyd and Fred Armisen delivered great performances, Coogan reigns supreme in the role.
Pugsley was never that interesting until the 1990s movies, so Jimmy Workman won that battle.
His performance inAddams Family Valuesduring the camp stageplay scenes was the best that the character ever looked.
However, there were others that played more important roles.
One of the most notorious of these family members is Pubert Addams.
The baby was never seen again and inAddams Family Reunion, Wednesday mentions that Pugsley ate him.
Another that most people don’t mention is Ophelia Frump.
Ophelia returned inThe New Addams Familybut was crueler and bullied Morticia.
She made a cameo appearance in the 2019The Addams Familyanimated movie.
Finally, there is Goody Addams.
She is the most recent addition toThe Addams Familytree.
She appeared inWednesdayas Wednesday’s ancestor from the 1600s and the founder of the Nightshade Society.
