Oh Lawsey, Lawsey, Lawsey
NBC has decided to reboot The Munsters and make it, quote, “a visually spectacular one-hour drama.”
Bryan Fuller, the creator of Pushing Daisies, is behind the reboot.
Grandpa Sam Dracula is essentially Dracula who assembled Herman because no man was good enough for his daughter Lily, a sexy vamp. Lily’s niece Marilyn the freak is actually normal and Lily and Herman’s only child, Eddie, has his werewolf tendencies surface in puberty, forcing the family to relocate to their famous 1313 Mockingbird Lane address.
Fuller’s been busy; he’s also had a series based around Hannibal Lecter accepted by NBC.
I…have nothing further to add here.

It would be so tempting to pooh-pooh these two projects as the usual drek made by the usual hacks. Luckily I don’t currently have TV so this will not affect me at all. Hopefully, someone has mentioned to Fuller that “The Munsters” was Camp and didn’t acquire it’s campiness in retrospect. As for Lector, I don’t know nothin about birthing no series.

I was a huge fan of Pushing Daisies (and the show I just heard was made by some of the same people, Dead Like Me), so I look forward to his version.
