Speaking Of The Munsters....
While I patiently waiting for an all-lemur production of The Munsters starring Mary-Kate Olsen as Lily, Bryan Fuller (the creator of Pushing Daisies and Wonderfalls) and Bryan Singer (the director of The Usual Suspects and the first X-Men movies) are working on a complete reboot of The Munsters for NBC called Mockingbird Lane. They have already cast Eddie Izzard as Grandpa Munster, Mason Cook as Eddie, Charity Wakefield as Marilyn and now they've found their Herman Munster in Jerry O'Connell. This is where you put your obligatory "Khloe Kardashian was ROBBED" jokes.
Vulture read the pilot script and they say it's really nothing like the original. The Double Bryans have taken The Munsters, removed its laugh track, lengthened it to an hour and injected it with a whole lot of silicone-infused drama. Bryan Fuller described their version as The Real Housewives of Transylvania and an American Horror Story for the entire family. NBC is calling it a “visually spectacular one hour drama.” So I guess that means we'll see Eddie Izzard in a rubber suit and Lily Munster performing her single Tardy for the Funeral at Transylvania Gay Pride.
I will never forgive Bryan Singer for butchering the greatest show in the history of shows, Footballers Wives, by trying to do an American version of it. Bryan can right this wrong by casting Footballers Wives' Tanya Turner as Lily Munster. Yeah, Tanya Turner as Lily Munster is bizarre, but so far everything about Mockingbird Lane sounds bizarre, so they might as well take the bizarreness all the way. I mean, don't you want to see Lily and Marilyn get into it like this:
UPDATE: Deadline says Lorena from True Blood might play Lily.

I don't know how I feel about this. Anything is improved when you add Eddie Izzard and Jerry O'COnnell into it, but I'd hate to see the Munters fucked with. And a drama?? NFW. it's supposed to be campy and funny. I just don't know. *perches on fence till I see this fuckery*
@ Athina: Joan was looking immaculate. Big ass hair, red lips, full makeup, white Chanel boule jacket and some very expensive-looking blue dress. The has incredible legs and wiggles her hips when she walks.
She was legendary.

Big Ange should play Herman.

I definitely loved the old-fashioned Munsters. I used to see reruns of the program on TV Land. Awesome show! Just loved the camp-factor. I also looked up Yvonne Dicarlo in IMDB, and I must say, she was a cool lady. LOVED her.
Fred Gwynne was also the best. I loved him in Pet Semetary...great movie!
The only way this show is going to be a "visually spectacular one hour drama" is if they spend the hour doing a close up of Jerry O'Connell naked and bent over.
What are KKuntrashian and Goopy doing in Footballer's Wives?? These two can act! Please, more! ;P
Love Eddie Izzard, he can do no wrong!
And Jerry, lucky MF, married to Romijn! Whatever this is, *clap clap clap*

I don't mind a reminder but
Herman(Fred Gwynn) was the best, Lily(Yvonne DeCarlo) was beautiful, and their Munster mobile was awesome. And a cool pet "Spot"

*Loved* Footballer's Wives! I cried, I laughed, I jeered. One of my favourite moments was when Tanya fed her rich old hubby coke and champagne and screwed him silly to make his heart explode.
They don't make TV like that anymore. *wiping a tear*"
I have to watch this hot mess of a show. This sound spectacular!

It was fantastically trashy. I was so disappointed when they stopped production.

It's sacrilegious to desecrate the memory of Norman (typo it stays) Munster with this fuckery! He's been BLASPHEMED!
And are actors THAT desperate? I mean, who looks at this script and says "This looks like something I HAVE to be a part of!"?
Perhaps if you're an unknown, any part is better than nothing. I don't know.
lemme guess, Lilo as Cousin Marilyn? :-P
I have never seen that show but I think i need to start watching. Screw you Dynasty.. FW is where it's at!

So what he's saying is, they are going to try to turn the Munsters into a better made modern version of the original tv series Dark Shadows? Which was a drama of sorts? Even though it involved vampires and werewolves...but they are going to inject it with modern Hollywood flair?
Fuck off. If Jerry O'Connell is sporting a Frankenstein like Getup, I do not want to see this person try to be taken seriously. Wtf? Is there anything Hollywood won't try to ruin? Rob Zombie pays better homage to old school horror flicks than these cretins are doing!

That is the stupidest idea EVARRR!
And I've heard my kids pitch ideas to my TV producer SIL. They've had better ideas.
Oh, for fuck's sake! Is nothing sacred?

I Just totally saw JOAN COLLINS today at lunch. It was an awesome moment in my personal development!!,
------------------------------
Do tell!! Was she looking good?
Danny DeVito as Grandpa Munster and Brad Garrett as Herman would have been much better choices. They would not even need makeup for Brad Garrett.

Oh here go hell come...Hollywood has to fuck up everything. Next theyre going to remake Cool Hand Luke with Ryan Gaycrest directing Derek Hough in the lead. I do like Izzard...his Death Star cafeteria with Darth Vader is funny.

Lmao @ that clip!!
Big Ang would make a better Herman Munster.
yessssss footballers' wives was so trashy and i loved it.
I didnt' know the Olsen's were from Lemuria. I thought they were Danish-Americans.
They really won't be able to rest until they have re-made everything that has been done.
I ADORE Eddie Izzard, always fancied him in a strange left-of-centre way, I think the Americans 'get' his humour over Russell Brand, but I fancy him too, dammit

Not realistic that scene: WAG's are like mannequin dummies, they're asexual and only seem to come alive in places where you can buy expensive stuff. As long as their husband signed a prenup, they couldn't care less who or what he sleeps with.
Eddie Izzard as Granpa Munster? IT'S GONNA BE A HIT! Loved 'Pushing Daisies' Why did they stop that?

Holy blue eyeshadow Batman. Even Mimi disapproves. That show looks really really ::Dwight voice:: dreadful.
Jerry looks like an overgrown kid and is about as miscast as Crackie in Lez and Dick.
LEAVE THE MUNSTERS ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVED Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies, so this might not be too horrendous.
No. Naooohhhhhh!

I'm sorry, but if they could do FW in a fantastic Dynasty-esque manner, I'd TOTALLY be all over this remake! FW was one of the campy BEST and we need so very very much more of these kind of shows!
{I'd def rather see that than The Munsters meets Desperate Housewives. *le sigh*}

Never found either to be funny at all. Still do not.
