This trailer has me a lot more excited for the show.
He's never even in the ballpark of John Astin (or even Raul Julia), but he's definitely better in episode 5 (the parents' weekend episode) than he is in the first episode.Luis Guzmán is miscast as Gomez. Totally wrong for the part.
Thing is interesting to me, because there have been such significant differences in how he is portrayed. The original New Yorker cartoons never showed him at all; his presence was only alluded to with the sign "Beware of the Thing."I like Thing.
Okay, I just finished the remaining seven episodes and thoroughly enjoyed the series. I’m looking forward to Season Two.I finally got around to watching the first episode. Pretty good so far with Ortega nailing the Wednesday character.
I really loved his take on the character too. He captured Fester's gentleness without taking away his dangerousness. And I appreciated how his episode felt like a crossover with a fully realized Uncle Fester standalone series that we never got to see.And Fred Armisen as Fester was absolutely brilliant! It's probably the best Fester yet!
