These are the longer versions of the episodes, some parts are missing in those already posted on You Tube. Enjoy!!! Itt is trying to decide on a career. Morticia suggests he become a marriage counselor, and she and Gomez pretend to have problems for Itt to solve. 'You just think of me as a plaything', she accuses Gomez. Itt manages only to make matters worse, and Gomez and Morticia spend the night apart. Both make up in the morning, but realize Itt isn't cut out to be a marriage counselor. They call in Mr. Phelps, a vocational guidance expert. Phelps thinks Itt is impossible, but stays when Gomez offers him a large amount of money. Itt takes a Rorschach test, and gets them all right. And when Itt takes word association, he again passes - though Phelps isn't sure how he understood Itt! Phelps becomes enthusiastic, and decides that the best possible career for Itt is . . . as a marriage counselor. Gomez calls: 'Lurch, show this quack the door!' Itt finally gets a job in Pango Pango, an island in the South Seas, as a tourist guide.
These are the longer versions of the episodes, some parts are missing in those already posted on You Tube. Enjoy!!! Gomez has written a play for the Family to celebrate Wednesday's birthday. Cousin Itt, Fester and Lurch all want to be the hero. Cousin Itt is brilliant as the hero, Claude, much to Fester's disgust, he wanted the role. Now all they need is a director, so Gomez decides to hire a professional. Erich von Bissell, who wants to rekindle his faded career, and thinks the play beneath him until Gomez offers $50000. Meanwhile, Fester locks Itt in a chest so he can play the hero, Fester is in turn locked in the iron maiden by Lurch, who also wants the role. When Itt is freed, von Bissell refuses to work with him, especially when he hears Itt's voice. Offended, Itt hides up the chimney. Morticia coaxes him down and works on improving his voice. Itt slows his speech down to reveal a deep baritone, which von Bissell adores. Itt now gets airs and won't do a silly amateur play. Morticia is appalled and tries in vain to get the old Itt back. Gomez brings over producer Sam Detrick, who wants Itt to be the star of his next picture, a monster movie. Itt is so incensed that his voice returns to normal.
Lurch is sent by Gomez and Morticia to get Cousin Itt from his room. Such a good servant is Lurch that he conveys the message to Itt in his own language!

Amir is a heartbreaker... literally. As a relationship termination specialist, he provides dumping services for disgruntled daters and spends his days delivering the bad news to unsuspecting lovers across Los Angeles. Though Amir claims he is just the messenger, the job makes him cynical and, as a result, the last bachelor in his group of friends. This becomes clear when his recently-engaged best friends tells him he can no longer be his Best Man because of bad relationship karma. When Amir returns to his family's home for Thanksgiving, he is reunited with his long-lost cousin, Zara, who decides to hitch a ride back to LA with him. As a joke, the two cousins pretend to be a couple in front of Amir's friends and their charade comes dangerously close to going too far.
These tootin' bathtub baby cousins sing a smelly duet about the bubbles they make with their farts. This will teach mommy not to feed them beans. One warns the other not to push too hard or he might go number two. Who needs Mr. Bubble when you can pass gas while taking a bath?
Carol Sue has a dream. To make a full length documentary about long hair. It's tentative title, "Thigh Length and Longer." She asked me if I would want to film and direct the documentary, I told her I needed more input. I visited her and brought along a video camera. This is one brief excerpt from the interview with Carol Sue. It convinced me to help her make "Thigh Length and Longer." You should know that I'm a bald guy and I'm more than fascinated with this project. You can read more about Carol Sue's dream at: web.mac.com
