Less than 2 weeks after receiving Bryan Fuller’s script for "The Munsters," NBC has given a pilot order to the "Pushing Daisies" and "Dead Like Me" creator’s reboot of the 1960s comedy, reports Deadline.
Universal Television is producing the project, described as an imaginative reinvention of "The Munsters" as a visually spectacular one-hour drama.
Word is that the network envisions the new "Munsters" as a potential summer or event series. the project features striking visuals mixed with all the classic "Munsters" archetypes. Grandpa Sam Dracula is essentially Dracula who assembled Herman because no man was good enough for his daughter Lily, a sexy vamp. Lily's niece Marilyn the freak is actually normal and Lily and Herman’s only child, Eddie, has his werewolf tendencies surface in puberty, forcing the family to relocate to their famous 1313 Mockingbird Lane address.
In addition to "The Munsters," Fuller also has "Hannibal," based on the Hannibal Lecter character, in contention at NBC for a straight-to-series order via Gaumont International TV.

I'd much rather see a continuation of Dead Like Me.

Don't like the idea at all, but I'll certainly take it over the purported movie featuring the Wayanses.

I give it two episodes seasons before it cancelled. While I actually get this is likely, I was making a joke about past Bryan Fuller shows.

I bet they modernize it like most revivals. The Munsters will live in a big city and use smart phones.

Because Bryan Fuller has such a great track record.

Would being in black and white be asking too much?
That'd be interesting.. a 2011 show flimed in B&W

I absolutely loved "Pushing Daisies". Still waiting on the comic, Fuller!
Wait, did that say "The Munsters" was going to be a drama?

I love everything that Fuller does...The problem is that his stuff is too witty for most Americans, and that is why it doesn't last long. Pushing Daises if one of my favorite shows ever.

I would like to see them try to remake the Munster Koach. Nothing can beat the George Barris Original.

I love Bryan Fuller. He does some of the best and most original shows on television (Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies). I'm not sure how this show will turn out, but I have faith in him.

If this gets done right, I'll be the biggest fan in the world.
If this is done wrong, I'll protest the show to no end.
Either way, I give at season at the most.
