Season 1 : Episode 1

Show Summary

Bryan Fuller, the creator of Pushing Daisies, makes a modern version of the classic TV show, The Munsters. Fuller brings his ghoulish black-humor sensibilities to the this classic take on the traditional family and beloved Hollywood monsters.

Herman Munster, the head of the family, is a patchwork creature who tries to keep his family safe and happy. His only problem is when he cares too much, causing his heart to break down.

His wife Lily is a vampire, who tries to make sure that her son Eddie is happy.

Eddie is a normal boy just discovering that he is growing hair on his body... during the full moon, when he becomes a werewolf.

Marilyn, the nice of Herman and Lily, is the oddball out: a normal girl, although she shares her family's... "unique" sensibilities.

Grandpa, a vampire of the old school, is still trying to come to terms with modern life where feeding on the locals isn't allowed. He keeps his son-in-law Herman's heart going, and tries to make sure that the other Munsters embrace their lives as creatures of the night.

  • Fingers Crossed!!

    I thought this was a great modern interpretation of a cult classic and Eddie Izzard's dark portrayal of Grandpa was inspired!!

    They were fools to pass this show up. Great actors, Fun show. I hope they reconsider!
  • So where is episode 2?

    9.0
    i don't see any reason not to continue with this series. it should do quite well. I still enjoy watching the reruns of the Munsters and Adams Family shows i watched as a kid, and I'd like to see them do more with this. I kept looking for the next episode, and thought it should have continued by now. i'm sure the kids would like it as well as older folks like me.moreless
  • Not bad ...

    7.5
    ... but also not sure it would work like a full time TV show. It was nice as a Halloween special though. Actors gave us great performances and were cast very well. I also loved the special effects and production designers must be complimented for their work on this. But all in all there zero to very slim chance that NBC actually picks it up. Only the pilot alone cost them 10 million bucks.moreless
  • Terrible !!

    1.0
    I was a huge fan of the original show and was mildly looking forward to this.

    After watching it, I want my hour back.

    I should have known better, it was on NBC.

    The ONLY thing slightly good about the show was seeing Portia de Rossi again.

    However, I was surprised after watching it that she would have taken the part.

    She should sue her agent !!!

    I too would rate this a ZERO if it were an option.moreless

  • DOES IT DESERVE A SERIES ORDER?

    Mockingbird Lane "Halloween Special" Review: Corny on the Macabre

    Bryan Fuller's Munsters do-over is flashy, campy, and fun, and if it could just get it's sh*t together, it'd make a decent series.
