Excerpt:

“I guess nobody else has a head shaped like mine,” Astin said recently. “So, I get recognized quite often. ” Now, 46 years later, Astin is an acting teacher at his alma mater, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. From 1964 to 1966, the television series ran for 64 episodes, according to IMDB. com, with Astin’s character as the kooky patriarch of a family that was weird and creepy, but loving. “Bizarre as we appeared to be,” Astin said, “psychiatrists who wrote about the show thought we were the healthiest family on the air. And the amorous relationship between Gomez and [wife] Morticia was one of the unusual aspects of that. ” “While we may have seemed foreboding on the outside, we were really, underneath, very good, caring people,” he said.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
