    They tried to resurrect the series in the mid nineties. The girl from Dodgeball played Marilyn is all I really remember about it. But yeah....there's already been bad Munsters. This new series can't go any worse.

    Don't know about the choice of projects, but Bryan Fuller is brilliant at heading up offbeat premises.

    Nearly a full year later.....they're trying again?

    New NBC Entertainment topper Robert Greenblatt is said to like the idea of a remake and has asked Fuller to take another attempt at the project.

    Fuller and NBC first made an attempt to revive the 1960s CBS sitcom last year, with the Peacock ultimately passing.

    Fuller’s new look is said to be an edgier and slightly darker hourlong take exploring origins of Herman and Lily Munster (Fred Gwynne and Yvonne De Carlo) and how they arrived at the famed 1313 Mockingbird Lane address.
    It's a different approach, but i'm open to it. Fingers crossed for the best. I'm just still thrilled the Wayans Brothers are away from the property. Can you imagine that? White Chicks and The Scary Movie films crossed with the beloved Munsters? *shivers*

    Eddie Izzard cast as Grandpa and Charity Wakefield as Marilyn in what is now called "1313 Mockingbird Lane"

    Concept art:


    Ehhhh.....still not sure. Izzard usually irritates me. I can't see him as Grandpa AT ALL, but I'm putting my faith in Bryan Singer at this point....

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Not exactly what I would picture for Herman Munster, but O'Connell seems to be a pretty funny guy. He was funny in Piranha and that video making fun of Tom Cruises' insane Scientology rant had me in stitches.

    They're currently shooting and some photos are making the rounds.

    Is Grandpa now a waiter at the locoal Mockingbird Heights Japanese restaurant?!? WTF is this?..



    Marilyn looks okay, but she's not exactly hard to f*ck up...



    They also say Portia De Rossi(Arrested Development) has a role.

    Rather than a new TV series, they've decided to air the pilot as a Halloween movie special. It will air toward the end of the month.

    Also some pics...







    I sense a giant bomb....

    It really is like they're working out a combination just to get to the loot.

    This isn't going to go over well...

    Looks terrible. I've picked boogers that looked more interesting.
