I have not seen a full episode of The Munsters in, well, ever, and though I'm not exactly sure what the fundamental difference between Munsters and Addamses is, I am one hundred percent sure I can pick out the members of each family. This is not at all important right now, actually. But I mean to say, my interest upon learning that Bryan Fuller is, in a sense, resurrecting the classic 1960s TV show is mostly due to Bryan Fuller, the creator of Dead Like Me, which rests easily at number five on my list of top five favorite television shows.Granted, being last on any list doesn't seem like much of a compliment, but when you consider that out of the huge, thousands, of TV shows, only five are on my list, and one of those is Rome, it's really not so bad.

EW says the remake is being described as "Modern Family meets True Blood", but so far NBC has only ordered a pilot.Once we know when that will air, I would like everyone to watch it because, and this is unfortunate, Fuller's shows have a history of being dropped early (see: Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls), regardless of how good they are.So let's try to keep this one going for a while, shall we?

(It was also mentioned that Guillermo del Toro was angling for a behind-the-scenes role with the The Munsters remake, and I assume this is the code for "Guillermo del Toro Will Likely Present This Project At A Later Date" or something, and there's nothing wrong with that.)

Fuller is also writing the live-action Pinocchio remake for Warner Bros, and we have to wonder whether one or both of these projects being greenlit are courtesy, in a roundabout sense, of Tim Burton (himself bringing back The Addams Family, in stop-motion animated 3D film form no less (something I would be much more excited about the if (a)) it dropped the 3D and, or at the very least or, (b)) Tim Burton was still more Edward Scissorhands and less, say, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and since we're talking about him I'd like to say I think there's something to the new blood concept, because as much as you can't not love Johnny Depp, this pairing is getting a little tired, no?)and then of course there was the live-action Alice In Wonderland).

Anyway.Bryan Fuller's past projects have been quite creative and quirky and charming, so this is all very welcome news to me.
