Per DeadlineHollywood.com: “Less than 2 weeks after receiving Bryan Fuller’s script for The Munsters, NBC has given a pilot order to the Pushing Daisies creator’s reboot of the 1960s comedy. Universal Television is producing the project, described as an imaginative reinvention of The Munsters as a visually spectacular one-hour drama.”

I do have to wonder, though, if maybe Ted Danson couldn’t fit a third show into his schedule.

    Lord, take me now (Sob)…

  • I’d be surprised if it’s any more dramatic than, say, Dead Like Me.

    How can you have a drama with the name “Munsters” in the title? Addams Family I could understand.  Not that I’d watch it, but I could almost see it.

    But Munsters?

    Really?

  • They’re going to play the Munsters straight?

    This might end up funnier than anything the original Munsters ever did.

  • Now might be a good time to pitch NBC my idea for a Melrose Place-style trashy late-night hour long drama based on Petticoat Junction.

    I wonder of Grandpa and Lilly will sparkle.

    Next out of the pipe:  more serious revivals of “Charlie’s Angels” and “Hawaii Five-O.”

    Oh, wait…

    In fairness, I actually am enjoying him on CSI (yes, I watch CSI).
