Theme Music: Confused

I'm actually very surprised that no one posted about this, but why didn't this special use the traditional Addams Family theme? After all, Vic Mizzy does the music for this as well! Did they just want a different take on the theme? I think this "new" version sounds ridiculous.

It's weird because, if I'm not mistaken, I heard different incidental from the original series in this as well.

Ideas?

It couldve been they couldnt get the rights to the theme as this was produced by a different studio.

This was considered a pilot for a new series, but it wasn't picked up. I'm assuming producers wanted a similar theme song from Mizzy, but something new to separate it from the original 60's series.
