Mockingbird Lane

NBC is far from the only guilty party when it comes to TV revivals, but there’s something special about reviving something you failed to revive. The Munsters may live again, as NBC succeeds Mockingbird Lane with another attempt at the ghoulish family, executive produced by Seth Meyers.

Considering that NBC long ago decided to air Bryan Fuller's 'Munsters' reboot 'Mockingbird Lane' as a Halloween special, glossing over the fate of any further hours, no one quite expected the peacock to suddenly order additional episodes. The prospects for the moderately-received 'Mockingbird Lane' became even more dire when Fuller began to focus on his other NBC project 'Hannibal,' but now word h

As anyone who ever watched 'Pushing Daisies' well knows, Bryan Fuller is the man to go to when you want distinctive visuals on a TV budget.  For that, and other reasons, we regret that Fuller's 'Munsters' reboot 'Mockingbird Lane' never managed to make it off the ground apart from its pilot airing as a Halloween special, however successful it may have been.  So while NBC obviously didn't share Ful

It really pays to know Bryan Fuller. Not only has the one-time 'Pushing Daisies' producer cast a number of his past stars in NBC's upcoming Hannibal Lecter adaptation 'Hannibal,' but he even provided a role for comedian Eddie Izzard! The UK star has previously been attached to Fuller's other NBC effort 'Mockingbird Lane' as Grampa Munster, though NBC passed on the series and burned off its pilot a

While we'll at least get to see what NBC and Bryan Fuller came up with in re-imagining 'The Munsters' as 'Mockingbird Lane' when the network airs the pilot as a Halloween special this Friday, there's a tinge of disappointment that the show mostly likely won't go to series.  Even though the concept sounded a bit lame at first, the first images and footage of show provided an intriguing, more styliz

Though it seems more and more likely that our time spent at 'Mockingbird Lane' will be cut supernaturally short, NBC airing the pilot episode as a Halloween special this Friday, October 26, every little bit we see seems more and more intriguing.  Case in point the first all-new clip from the now-defunct Bryan Fuller series, which amid some questionable effects certainly strikes the right tone of s

We have to admit, we're fairly disappointed that NBC and Bryan Fuller's 'Munsters' reboot 'Mockingbird Lane' isn't likely to continue beyond its special Halloween airing of the show's pilot.  Campy and re-hashing a premise though it might have seemed to begin with, once NBC released the first full photos and even a trailer we started to see how the tone actually seemed to work for the series.  So

It's one of those things that doesn't feel real until you've actually seen footage. After all, there's no way to know for sure that NBC spent $10 million on a pilot/Halloween special remake of 'The Munsters' until you've seen actual evidence with your own two eyes. Alas, the first teaser for 'Mockingbird Lane' has arrived proving that yes, someone thought remaking the 'The Munsters' was a good ide

You know, we're almost sad we'll never get to see NBC and Bryan Fuller's 'Munsters' re-boot 'Mockingbird Lane' in its entirety, following the pilot episode that the network will re-purpose as a Halloween special on the 26th.  Sure, things might have looked kind of hokey, and another attempt to cash in on a previous franchise, but the concept had enough potential to possibly work under Fuller's uni

Well, we may not be able to see how 'The Munsters' get reborn as 'Mockingbird Lane' on a weekly basis, but at least we'll get to see what Bryan Fuller came up with for the pilot. Having already sunk over $10 million into the project, NBC seems to have made the official decision not to move forward with Fuller's 'Mockingbird Lane,' instead airing the pilot as a spooky Halloween special.
