Has anyone seen the new m&m's commercial? It's the opening theme to The Addams Family with different M&M's as the characters. It's the original song, just with the m&m's snapping instead of the actors. It's pretty cool. The 1st time my 6 y/o daughter saw it, she laughed. I think this is a new trend in commercials. Geico has the opening theme to the Beverly Hillbillies in it's new commercial.

I think it's hilarious. Wonderful take on a wonderful theme. It gave the show homage as opposed to mocking it like the other media usually do.

I wonder if they will do the Munsters theme next ???

I think it would be great to see M&Ms in place of the Munsters in the theme

Mars Incorporated is being sued for alleged idea theft of Addams Family M&M’s commercials. The idea was rejected, so how did these commercials hit national airwaves making millions for the launch of M&M’s Dark Chocolate?

Pretty good likeness of the M+M's charcater to actress Blossom Rock (who played Grandmama! Pretty good job of imitating John Astin too. I don't know how much I think M+M Fester looks like Jackie Coogan though!
