    Monkey Business

    Uncle Fester mistakenly believes he turned Pugsley into a chimp.

    A very funny episode. The chimp wandered away from an organ grinder and into Pugsley's window. Fester is practicing his conjuring and the chimp shows up. Pugsley gets locked in a secret passage. There are many funny moments as Fester tries a seance thinking he can reach Pugsley on an Astro plane. This is one Addams Family episode that is similar to a Munsters episode. In the Season 1 show "Come Back Little Googie", Grandpa thinks he turns Eddie's friend (Billy Mumy) into a monkey.
