"The Addams Family" premiers on ABC TV
THE ADDAMS FAMILY - September 18, 1964 • ABC Television - Based on a series of bizarre and dark comedy drawings that cartoonist Charles Addams created for the “New Yorker” magazine in the late 1940s. This ghoulish family lives in a gothic mansion, and features Gomez, a cigar-smoking tycoon with an adolescent appetite for destruction, Morticia, a sexy, black widow figure who revels in gloom and solemnity, Uncle Fester, a bald lunatic who takes pleasure in relaxing on a bed of nails, Lurch, the seven-foot-tall butler, and a pair of odd children, Pugsley and Wednesday, each with a distinctly morbid sensibility. Also on hand was Thing – a friendly hand, and Cousin Itt, a little person covered in long hair who speaks in unintelligible gibberish.

“One Hundred Percenter Convention”
In 1947 IBM announced an increase in revenue of 22% with an employment staff of over 22,000. One of IBMs innovative products is the Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator, called the Mark I, a joint development with Harvard University. It is the first machine that can execute long computations automatically. Over 50 feet long, eight feet high and weighing almost five tons, the Mark I takes less than a second to solve an addition problem, six seconds for multiplication and twice as long for division. This year it was followed up by the 603 Electronic Multiplier, the next line of IBM machines.
