    The Foreigners

    A pair of foreign diplomats choose the Addams at random for a visit to a typical American family.

    An amusing episode, the country of the diplomats is never mentioned, but it is obvious they are from the Soviet Union from their accents. They are played by Stanley Adams ("Lilies Of The Field") and Vito Scotti (later on 6 episodes of "Columbo"). Funniest scene is they see Fester being "re charged".

    Better than average

    Jokes and situations are very clever and witty, much more than usual imo. I enjoyed this a lot!! If you like the Addams Family I think you will find this episode a good watch.
