Sadly after all that hype, Mockingbird Lane, The Munsters reboot, looks like it’s not getting picked up. There is not an official “no” from the network yet, but word is that they’re leaning towards a “No.” So sad because the cast alone sounded AMAZING!! With Bryan Fuller as the head honcho and actors like Jerry O’Connell, Eddie Izzard, and Portia de Rossi–how could you go wrong? Was it because they were all in costume and it got too theatrical? Did it get too expensive? Did the pilot suck? Tear.

I made fun of the show when they first announced it, but once the cast got on board, I was in. I feel like this is one show they should have given a chance to. But really, if this cast can’t pull off a comedy reboot, then who can?

**UPDATE** IT’S NOT DEAD! Bryan Fuller tweeted, ”NBC just informed me the Deadline article regarding #MockingbirdLane was Dead Wrong. Stay tuned for updates!”

    Could they have an episode where they open a hotel and Ramsay comes to fix it and Honney Boo Boo is the entertainment and poor old Ramsay runs into the night screaming and crying? And becomes Amish? Please?
    And devotes the rest of his life to costume design?

    I never saw the original TV show, but I really liked that guy who played the grandpa in every other thing I ever saw him in.

    Sooo….NBC will go for Animal Practice.
    But they won’t go for the genius who made Pushing Daisies, Portia de Rossi and Eddie fucking Izzard.

    Oh, okay. Makes perfect sense.

    Yeah, Animal Practice was fucking terrible. And this is coming from a girl who would watch a cutesy show about animals with no shame….if it were good.
