In 1998, cable network Fox Family Channel produced a new version of "The Addams Family (TV series)", alongside Saban Entertainment, entitled "The New Addams Family". This version featured an entirely different cast and was well-received (in contrast to "Addams Family Reunion" movie). Gomez was played by John Astin look-alike-sound-alike Glenn Taranto. The show reworked several storylines from the original series while incorporating modern elements, jokes, and references into the episodes. The show even had a new, Mexican-type theme song. John Astin (Gomez from the original series) played Grandpa Addams, Gomez's father in this short-lived series. 65 episodes were made, one more than the original series. It was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. the Show ended in 1999.

New theme
The new theme, performed by the cast, was a complete departure from the familiar tune that had served (almost) all previous adaptations of the series. The familiar finger-snapping was present, albeit at a faster pace, and accompanied by two different characters (first Lurch, then Gomez) saying the word "snap" twice in rapid succession to match the beat.
Welcome to the Addams Family/How ya do? The Addams Family/Come into the Addams Family now
(Cha-cha-cha) (Lurch: Snap, snap)
Wonderfully scary/And pleasantly hairy/Delightfully? Very/It's the Addams...Family!
Welcome to the Addams Family/Go into the Addams Family/Come into the Addams Family now
(Cha-cha-cha) (Gomez: Snap, snap!)
