I’ve pointed out many times that I will openly complain about things without watching them. I decided last night to watch Mockingbird Lane after being super bothered just by the images and the small details I heard about it. They have it on NBC’s website to watch. Without commercials it had a running time of 40 minutes but they managed to make it feel like an hour and a half. That’s not a compliment.
I talked to The Munky about this show because she watched it when it aired. She said that this could’ve just been a whole new show without calling the characters Munster’s and it was true. This could’ve just been a new series that was just bad with a different title. Was the show funny? No. I didn’t laugh at anything. Was it scary? No. Everything that was supposed to be creepy wasn’t and the jumpscares were being sent by carrier pigeon. Was it dramatic? Not really. This show just…happened.

I’m not sure what audience they were aiming for. It wasn’t fans of the original series. At least I hope it wasn’t. If it was for new viewers then perhaps it worked for fans of the writer or director who by the way was Bryan Singer. Yeah. Him. The man who decided to dick over the X-Men movie franchise by making a terrible Superman film. I should probably talk about the story of this episode.
Herman needs a new heart because his is dying because he cares too much. Grandpa wants to start drinking human blood again. Marilyn wants to stay with the family but Grandpa doesn’t like her because she isn’t a monster. Lilly is a bitch that has trouble being a caring mother. Eddie is transforming into a werewolf and they are having trouble telling him. They end up using Eddie’s scout leader’s heart after he falls down some stairs and dies. The effects were super shaky. I wont even get into how bad Spot the dragon looked when he showed up. It was like watching a show from the early 90’s in terms of how bad the CGI looked. This pilot didn’t need to happen.
