Cousin Itt's Career

Morticia and Gomez think Cousin Itt needs a job.

A very funny Season 1 episode. One of the funniest moments is when Lurch has to crouch down to get into Itt's room. Morticia and Gomez thinks Itt would make a good marriage counselor. They practice by acting as a couple with problems. They then call in a vocational counselor, played by Richard Deacon. He was still on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" at this time. More funny scenes when he interviews Itt and starts to understand him.
