Those names actually came when the cartoons were adapted into a live-action ABC television series called The Adams Family in 1964.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
The original series started John Astin as Gomez, Carolyn Jones as Morticia, Jackie Coogan as Uncle Fester, Lisa Loring as Wednesday, and Ken Weatherwax, what a great name, as Pugsley.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
It ran for two seasons from 1964 to 66, and it also gave us Vic Mizzi's instantly recognizable theme song.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
We're not really covering the television series today, but it's an important bridge between Charles Adams' cartoons and the family our generation would eventually meet at the movies.

Alongside Houston, Julia, Lloyd, and Richie were Jimmy Workman as Pugsley, Judith Melania as Granny, Carol Strucken as Lurch, Dan Hayeda as Tully Alford, Elizabeth Wilson, and Abigail Craven and Christopher Hart as Bing.

He was called Pugsley because he was overweight, um, he was slow, and he looked like the, uh, little kid on the, uh, The Addams Family, and he mustn't have liked that very much.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But one day in particular, I remember he was teased and, um, someone had called him Pugsley, and at this particular time maybe just had a, a gut full of it, and he must have got angry.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I just remember his face just changing and it, it to me it just turned evil.

Peter didn't bond with, uh, with his people of his own age, so he had no peer group, uh, situation, and, uh, he was sort of, uh, isolated.

Um, we have Jimmy Workman as Pugsley.
Siena Sofia BergtHOST
Um, this is really the main role that he's known for.

JackGUEST
It would be difficult because you would have to set someone up.
TamsinHOST
you could kind of have Wednesday Jenna Ortega handing over to Pugsley, her brother.
TamsinHOST
I
JackGUEST
mean, that would make sense because that would stay within Adam's family.
