The Addams Family is a family show. The Biden family definitely is not.

Is this the Addams family?

The Addams Family started as a cartoon in the New Yorker in the late 30s. The name is taken from the cartoonist, Charles Addams, but it is also is reminiscent of the real Adams Family—John, John Quincey, & Charles who played a big role in the history of the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries. The readers of the New Yorker would have made the connection readily.

Just watched Jesse Water’s interviews with current New Yorkers who had no idea who we won our independence from or when we did it. None displayed any chagrin at their ignorance.
