* In ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'', while the whole family have some supernatural elements, only the women are depicted as explicitly magical. While neither Morticia nor Grandmama consider themselves to be ''witches'' in the 60s series (Grandmama ''is'' a witch in the 90s live-action TV reboot, however), they have mentioned female ancestors who were witches (and were burned as such), and both have performed seances, while Morticia also displays abilities such as hypnotism and lighting candles by touching them, and Grandmama reads fortunes in a crystal ball and makes potions. Broomsticks are also occasionally shown by the entrance to the house and appear to belong to Grandmama. When the men participate in the seances at all, they're silent while the women recite incantations, generally giving the impression that it's the women of the family who have magical abilities: Gomez and Pugsley never attempt to perform spells or rituals themselves, and while Fester tries to teach himself to cast spells in one episode, he has no success (and none of the others expected him to succeed, either). The 90s live-action TV show even has Wednesday casting a spell to reanimate the dead in the very first episode, and later casting another spell to undo it. And of course, the whole family is very much goth, with Morticia and Wednesday in particular always being dressed in black and fascinated with death and anything dark.
** ''Series/Wednesday'' plays this up still further, with Wednesday (unsuccessfully, but only because she's interrupted) trying to hold a seance, and both her and Morticia having psychic visions, along with various other references to witchcraft from both of them. There's also Wednesday's ancestor Goody Addams, explicitly described as both psychic and "a witch of great power" by Morticia, whose spirit appears to Wednesday at various points in the series. Again, while there are apparently male psychics in the setting, Gomez, Fester and Pugsley aren't depicted as performing spells or rituals or as having psychic visions, though they're still not entirely normal humans.
