First Footage From NBC's Remake Of THE MUNSTERS! Released

NBC has just put out the first television spot promoting Brian Fuller's Mockingbird Lane. The pilot for The Munsters remake will be broadcast on Friday, Oct. 26, rebranded as a Halloween special.

The pilot, written by Bryan Fuller and to be directed by Bryan Singer, is described as a reinvention of the 1960s sitcom about The Munsters, a family of “monsters” — vampires, werewolves and Frankenstein, and their “plain” cousin (Charity Wakefield) — that will feature striking visuals in the vein of Fuller’s ABC dramedy Pushing Daisies. O’Connell will play family patriarch, the handsome and gangly Herman Munster, a great dad and devoted husband. He is married to Lily, a vampire, with whom he has fathered a 10-year-old boy, Eddie (Mason Cook). Strong but sentimental, Herman works at a funeral home, and worries that Eddie’s transformation into a werewolf and burgeoning awareness of his family’s origins will crush the boy’s spirit.

You would think after years of seeing Movie and TV show posters and then seeing the actual thing that people wouldn't hate so much just from a couple images.

@mikesinuman, They say it in the trailer, "The Munster family".... Even though the name has changed it is still about the Munsters.. I hate to say this but... Yeah I am kind of agreeing with people here... The footage does look better than expected..

This is the first time I am glad the US government shut down broadcast TV. There is now no way I can accidentally watch this POS.
