    Morticia Tries Something Else

    Morticia is feeling unfulfilled so she decides to do sculpture.

    An OK episode, the series is starting to repeat itself, this is the second episode in a row with Morticia trying a new artistic endeavor. Gomez gives her a hammer and chisel and some big rocks to work on. When no one wants to buy them, Gomez secretly pays a crooked art dealer (Vito Scotti) to pretend to buy them. Funniest scene is Morticia and Gomez's dance sequence at the end.
