Last night at 9 & 9:30 PM 'The Addams Family' replaced 'LITB'
They ran the very first episode.
1. The Addams Family Goes to Schoolgs: Allyn Joslyn (Sam Hilliard) Madge Blake (Miss Comstock) Note: Madge Blake also played Larry's mom on LITB as you all know.
Rolfe Sedan (Mr. Briggs (the postman)) Nydia Westman (Miss Morrison)
Sam Hilliard is the truant officer for the Sherwood School, and he arrives at the Addams Family house to investigate the fact that Wednesday and Pugsley have never been to school. Gomez is appalled of the idea of regimented schooling, but he gives in, obeying the law. The principal, Miss Comstock, is happy with their decision, but Gomez and Morticia are horrified when Wednesday comes home and throws a tantrum. They learn that the she is reading Grimm's Fairy Tales and that all of the witches, giants and ogres are killed in the stories. Morticia decides to keep the children home from school because she won't allow the children to learn such things. Gomez calls for Mr. Hilliard to return. Mr. Hilliard reluctantly returns, and Gomez demands that Grimm's fairy stories be removed from the curriculum before he'll allow his children to return to school. Mr. Hilliard agrees to everything just to escape the Addams' house.
18-Sep-1964. Ed James & Seaman Jacobs d: Arthur Hiller
NOTE: This is the brief pilot script expanded as the premiere episode. The "train crash" scene was footage shot for the pilot presentation. This is the only episode using exterior footage of a real house. Wednesday's age is given as six and Pugsley's as eight. In next episode, however, they've somehow aged two years each to match the ages of the children playing the roles.

2. Morticia and the Psychiatristgs:
George Petrie (Dr. Harold Black)
Note: George also played Eddie Haskill's father.
I guess once Beaver went off the air in '63,they all got new jobs on different shows. ;-)
