Unlike Hanna-Barbera's first attempt, which had the Addamses on a cross country road trip across [[United States|America]], this incarnation was a lot more faithful by having them situated in their mansion in a fixed setting, in the newly created and unlikely suburban community of [[Happydale Heights]]. This series was also somewhat darker in comparison, due to the highly well-received aforementioned live-action film.

The Addams Family is an American animated comedy-horror TV series produced by Hanna-Barbera for ABC's Saturday morning line-up. It ran from 1992 to 1993, airing 21 episodes. It is based on Charles Addams's single-panel comic in The New Yorker, and the success of the live-action film The Addams Family in 1991. This was the second animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera, after the 1973 version of the same name.

Unlike Hanna-Barbera's first attempt, which had the Addamses on a cross country road trip across America, this incarnation was a lot more faithful by having them situated in their mansion in a fixed setting, in the newly created and unlikely suburban community of Happydale Heights. This series was also somewhat darker in comparison, due to the highly well-received aforementioned live-action film.

This incarnation gained some recognition with action figures, episodes adapted into books, and a Nintendo video game.
