Portia De Rossi has been cast to play Lily Munster in the Munsters reboot, Mockingbird Lane. I know this is sounding crazier and crazier and I mocked this whole reboot, but I’m totally going to give it a try. With writing from Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies), Jerry O’Connell as Herman, Portia as Lily, and Eddie Izzard as Grandpa…it sounds like the recipe for a great  show. I hope they pull it off for the sake of all of their careers. I’m VERY curious to see how this turns out!

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    I also read that Bryan Singer is directing the pilot, so it has some talent behind it. I hope it lives up to that talent.

    How deep will all this pandering to baby boomers go? Granted, they’re (well, technically we, since I caught the tail end of it) the ones with all the money, but still. The Munsters?

    People alive these days don’t know how to be that innocently funny. It’ll never work.

    They may try to make it edgy/dirty funny, which would pander to today’s audiences, which might fail worse then if they kept to the original, what,60′s style? family humor.

    But I always preferred the Adams Family, which was a little more arch, if I remember it correctly.
