The New Munster's cast

[samurainoir]

If it's "Drama" in the sense that Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls were one hour shows, I can see it working. The actors play their roles very straight and earnest, but the situations they find themselves in are absurd, whimsical, and darkly comic. I have no doubt that we'll also have that Amelie/Tim Burton aesthetic going on, since that was such a big part of Pushing Daisies.

So I'd hazard a guess that it won't have a laugh track or sitcom plot shenanigans like the original. Note that all three of Fuller's other shows are "client based" premises... which might hint at the direction this will take. I'm hoping that Mocking Bird Lane takes place in the "Fuller-verse", just so we have the possibility of Reapers or the Pie Maker showing up.

Unfortunately, other than the great first season of Heroes and Star Trek Voyager, Fuller's work has really been geared towards cult appeal rather than mass audiences. I suspect it might get the same critical acclaim and small devoted following the other shows have, and if they have a large budget that means it won't last very long either.

>I'm really curious how they can turn a premise like this into a drama.

You've seen it....a lot lately. More monsters whining about their girlfriends, pseudo-evil versions out there, having to sort of stay hidden.... I wonder if Gran'pa will sparkle now.

This makes me think of the BRADY BUNCH into THE BRADYS
...taking a 70s sitcom concept and turning it into a 90s dramatic series.

I always have hope something can work... I'm not bothered by the
attempts... but its tough.

This is Eddie Izzard we're talking about. Try and STOP him from sparkling.

Hmmmm....

As an aside, wasn't there ANOTHER remake/reimagining.... late 70's/early 80's called "1313 Mockingbird Lane?" I can recall one, but not well. It might have been a pilot only, aired once and forgotten. Anyone else remember this?

Yeah, I laughed at that picture, too. So does Jerry O'Connell as he laughs all the way home to his wife, Rebecca Romijn.

I'm still trying to work out how a kid like this:



got to marry this:
