"Can I Finish?!": Mockingbird Lane

Less than a year ago I wrote about the concept of a new Munsters series being made and wanted it stopped. Why? Because fuck nonsense, that’s why. Pictures have been released of the new series and I now feel comfortable since there’s no way in hell this show will make it past six episodes after airing the pilot. Its not even called The Munsters. Its called Mockingbird Lane, after their street, and is being helmed by Bryan Fuller. He has a record of shows that people like but get cancelled like Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies. 

The old series was funny and silly which is something that most shows aren’t anymore. Everything is dirtier and more realistic. Fuck real. Real isn’t fun. I want Frankenstein to be married to a witch and give birth to a werewolf with a vampire grandpa and a dragon that lives under the stairs. That to me is entertaining TV! Not a more realistic version that will do nothing but offer my childhood candy and then slap it across the nose Three Stooges style. Which has happened before.

"Can I Finish?!": The Munsters Remakes

Back when I was little there was no such thing as an old show. I watched The Munsters on KTLA like it was a brand new show every weekend. The characters were funny and I loved the way they looked. There was a movie which I wasn’t a fan of because in color they looked very bizarre. Herman Munster wasn’t just green, he was Electric Bugaloo! The Drag-u-la car was so cool it inspired a song by Rob Zombie. I say till this day that The Munsters is still relevant and one of the best ones ever created. There is no way that it could ever be reproduced. With 70 episodes and a year and a half run, almost 50 years later its still aired. No one would be stupid enough to mess with it.
