The Spot News: NBC Bringing back The Munsters?


The Spot News: NBC Bringing back The Munsters?

TV Guide reports that NBC is revisiting plans to revive The Munsters. With Bryan Fuller, creator of Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies, remaining at the helm.

The network ordered the pilot last fall, but ultimately passed on the project, which was described as “Modern Family meets True Blood.” But new NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt now wants to return to 1313 Mockingbird Lane, so Fuller’s “edgier” take on the 1960s comedy is back in development.

Fuller’s remake is an hour-long show featuring the original characters. He’s expected to explore the Munsters‘ origins, something not addressed in the original series.

You know at first I was a bit upset about this news, but now I am for it. I am too young to have fully enjoyed watching the Munsters on TV when they first aired and only seen a few episodes here and there. So a modern take on the Munster Family might not be bad. Considering all the reality garbage TV has been shoving down our throats.
