Robert Greenblatt is going back to the drawing board on a plan to dust off The Munsters.

...doesn't give them the right to try to revive them in "new packaging". Have they forgotten what they did to "KNIGHT RIDER" and "THE BIONIC WOMAN"? I believe they should call a moratorium on trying to update old shows, and concentrate on nurturing new ones...because that's the sensible thing to do.

But then again, "sensible" isn't a word most associated with network television these days...."profit", "pillaging" and "imitation" are.


:mad:

They already did a remake of The Munsters! The Munsters Today ran from 1987-91, starring John Schuck and Lee Meriweather.

...and there was a "MUNSTERS" holiday TV movie [on Fox] about 15 or 16 years ago with a completely different cast, 'markway'....yeah, "Scary Little Christmas", like the DVD box above says.

As I've stated, there should be a moratorium on reviving "classic TV series", "THE MUNSTERS" included (and NBC has already passed on David E. Kelley's proposed update of "WONDER WOMAN", so that's a step in the right direction!).

Now there won't be anything to watch, actually I was looking forward to both shows.:(

i somehow envision "The New Munsters" being about as good as "The New Monkees" was.

- and in case you hadn't seen it, horrible doesn't even begin to describe how bad it was.
