“The Munsters” is one of the best shows of the 1960s, but is it ripe for contemporary reboots? It certainly wasn’t in 2012, as Bryan Fuller‘s attempt to bring America’s First Family of Fright back from the dead didn’t exactly go according to plan. Enter “Mockingbird Lane,” a pilot NBC decided wasn’t ghoul enough for school.
Named after the street where the Munster family lives, “Mockingbird Lane” was a darkly humorous update of the ’60s sitcom. Starring Jerry O’Connell, Mason Cook, Eddie Izzard, and Portia de Rossi, the pilot mostly focused on Eddie Munster (Cook) as he enters puberty and realizes he’s a werewolf.
