Same here!

I'm too lazy to look it up. Are you saying Eddie is born as a werewolf or something so the whole family dresses up as monsters and lives in a spooky house and Lily eats suicide victims so he doesn't feel left out?

have you never seen the TV series?

The family are monsters, the dad is a Frankenstein, the mom is a vampiress, the kid is a wolfman, the grandpa is Dracula and the niece is "normal" human.....

Sounds like Eddie might be retarded or in a wheelchair or something for this new TV series....

I used to watch the old series all the time. I just thought for this new one they might become monsters or pretend to be them to make Eddie feel normal because he's born looking like a werewolfor something. That's too weird though I think.

I'm quite disappointed! Seems the cast is going to look like regular humans. Where's the fun in that?

Here's the first image of the cast...

is this going to be a British show?

[NeverMore]

Good call. It does seem like something the Brits would do.

If they aren't going to make them actual monsters why wouldn't they just make a series based on the Addams instead of the Munsters?

[Rising Dead Man]

Well this is just, I have no no words.

Why don't we just take old westerns and have them take place in a modern city? And the characters fight with squirt guns. That wouldn't ruin the whole point at all.

[NeverMore]

They sort of did that with Firefly, which is one of my most favoritist series ever.

Actually, a lot of movies and TV we know and love are just shows from earlier generations with the characters placed in a new environment. I saw a preview at the new Batman movie for a series that takes place in a bar, I instantly thought Cheers. I guess I'll reserve judgement until I see it. Still, would have liked to seen a monster looking Herman Munster.

Well... seems NBC has dropped the idea of doing a new Munsters series. Instead, they are going to show the pilot as a one hour Halloween special on the 26th.

I had high hopes for a new show that played off of one of my childhood favorites. C'est la vie.

Thanks for the update Nevermore, I'm going to watch.

I have the complete original series with hours of extras.

Love that family!

[Rising Dead Man]

Well I just found out I could watch it on Hulu. And it was, entertaining. But weird.

The more I watch Mockingbird Lane the more I like it. It is now definitely on my yearly watch list. It's actually really clever, and dark. I want to see more of Grandpa Dracula.

I also loved watching The Munsters as a kid and I still do to this very day. That is one television show that you can never get tired of seeing. It's so funny.

[Murfreesboro]

Yes, the Munsters are fun.

[Boo!]

I got bored so I decided to browse the Halloween forums. Thought I'd just post this amusing animated .gif. Why is Herman breaking a guitar? It's just so random, but I guess it's being taken out of context.
