Vi såg pilotavsnittet av Mockingbird Lane häromdagen och älskade den. Härligt fånigt i lite samma stil som Dark Shadows och Familjen Adams. Nog det bästa som kommit ut på länge, hoppas verkligen pilotavsnittet leder till en serie.
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.
