The Addams Family (1964)
1 continuity mistake in Morticia's Dilemma
Starring: John Astin, Carolyn Jones, Jackie Coogan, Ted Cassidy
Christmas with the Addams Family - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: When the second Santa (Grandma) knocks at the children's door, in one brief shot Wednesday already has 2 dolls in her arms.
Grandmama Addams: Fester, You're not cheating.
Uncle Fester: Sorry.
Trivia: John Astin (Gomez), Carolyn Jones (Morticia) and Ted Cassidy (Lurch) are the only actors to appear in all 64 episodes of the show.
Question: Ted (Lurch) Cassidy was a total of six feet nine inches tall. A number of times, especially in Season 2 Episode 6, "Cousin Itt's Problem", it seems the top of his head barely clears to top of the door jamb. Were the doors seven feet tall back then?

Chosen answer: Being that this was filmed in a TV studio, the set would have been specially designed and built to accommodate Cassidy's height. Also, I live in an older house (100 years-old), and all the inner and outer doors are eight feet tall.
