In an early episode, "Morticia and the Psychiatrist," the rest of the family is concerned that Pugsley is engaging in behaviors they consider "odd," i.e., wearing a Boy Scout uniform, playing with a puppy, etc.
He and Gomez created a computer named Whizzo and a robot named Smiley (played by Robby the Robot). This incarnation of the character is more jovial and inventive he displays outlandish engineering skills, including the invention of a disintegrator gun, an anti-gravity gun, and other devices. In the original television series, Pugsley is played by Ken Weatherwax. He has the charm that comes with being a part of the Addams Family, displayed when instead of using the traditional fishing method, he prefers using grenades.Īppearances The Original Addams Family Series In the Wednesday series, he is meek and gets bullied at school, however, he cares very deeply about his family. In most incarnations of the character, Pugsley had an unusual hobby of stealing road signs, which he used to adorn the walls and door of his bedroom. In this first incarnation, he was portrayed as a deviant child with a vicious nature, shown committing deplorable acts with his sister. He wears a gray coat when sitting at the table while visiting Wednesday on Parents Weekend. Usually donning a striped t-shirt and black pants. Pugsley wears the signature Addams colors, black and white, in his outfits. In the Wednesday series, he has short black hair and brown eyes. He is a pre-teen boy (stated to be eight years old in the pilot but ten in the second episode) who is almost always seen wearing a striped T-shirt and long shorts. The name Pubert was later used when Gomez and Morticia have a baby in the film Addams Family Values. When the characters were given names for the television series The Addams Family, he was originally going to be called "Pubert" (a derivation of the word puberty, possibly a reflection of his age), but it was rejected as it sounded too sexual, and the name Pugsley was chosen instead. In the television series, Pugsley usually eats over five pieces of cake at birthday parties. Originally unnamed (as were all of the family members), the character who was apparently the prototype for Pugsley first appeared in the Charles Addams cartoons in The New Yorker during the 1930s.
Pugsley was first portrayed as the oldest child of Morticia and Gomez Addams, but later was shown to be younger than Wednesday.
