Current show: Wednesday (which I haven't seen, so the age related and fast food clues were lost on me).

The answers are correct.
In the US, Wendy's has run promos specifically with the show "Wednesday." Check out their "Meal of Misfortune", a promo that suffers from offering a bad idea as a promotional.

As of the start of "Wednesday," both Wednesday and Pugsley are high school age, but Pugsley is younger than Wednesday.
There's some differences in interpretation, too. I tend to lean towards Addams' as being unusually tough physically, and easily athletic when they want to be. (Gomez fenced in the original show and in the movie, in the original show he stood on his head and other things, Pugsley and Wednesday seemed unable to damage each other in the movies, etc.) In the new show, it's possible to bully Pugsley because he's not that durable. Also, there's differences of opinion on how Gomez is supposed to look. I'm used to the Gomez from the aforementioned sources- an athlete, a swordsman, an acrobat, a gymnast. A strict hewing to the original illustrations suggests he's a lot chubbier than that, and some cartoons held with that. The new show has Luis Guzman as Gomez. I don't mind that at all, but I mind the chubbier Gomez they went with. I understand that's an artistic decision, and I simply disagree.
I expect there's a lot about the show that would surprise me. I'm used to the family being eerie and creepy, but social- in their own way, not in the usual manner. I'm also used to them being potentially dangerous- when they want to be, which is very different from menacing people openly or brandishing weapons. The series may go along with me on that, but they felt the need to drive the beginning with Wednesday changing schools- which was triggered by Wednesday taking revenge for Pugsley being bullied in an old-school manner. (I would have written the need for revenge differently, but I also get that some people would have disagreed with my ideas.)
I know they don't feel the need to copy anything that came before, but take inspiration from it. To a point, I agree with that heartily. We may agree on a great deal of interpretation, and disagree on a number of points. Ultimately, who cares?

I'm not clear what your point is then. I don't think I'm much older than anyone here. I thought the whole point of this game was to stir memories ,and realize-'oh yeah-I do remember that show !' I'm

In the "Jump the Shark" episode of Batman B&B, they go through all of the ways to JTS listed on that website, including having Ted McGinley on! :lol: George

C) The DC/Fawcett character must be Captain Marvel, now known as Shazam. I think the show is Beat Shazam George
