I'm skeptical about these extras... some of them just seem plain odd. Nevertheless, I was starting to think there weren't even going to be any, so at least this is SOMETHING!
How the hell can you have a commentary with "Thing" and "Cousin Itt"? One's a severed hand that doesn't speak and one speaks gibberish! Anyway, there are four mini-commentaries with "Thing" and "Itt." There is only ONE commentary track that runs for the entire episode's length. That lucky episode who gets the full, 25-minute commentary is "Morticia Meets Royalty." The commentator is who else but "Addams Chronicles" author Stephen Cox, who should seem familiar to DVD fans. He, along with Loring, Weatherwax, Hiller, and Silla, offered 3 full commentaries on volume one.
Another feature that can be watched alongside just one of the twenty-one episodes on the set is "Tombstone Trivia." Also, a guest star seance is included on disc 3 (???) and a featurette on the show's popularity.
All in all, the features seem like they will be good but I can't wait to see how they handle both the mini-commentaries and the guest star seance.
