That NBC Munster’s Pilot Is Going To Air Around…HALLOWEEN!

I don’t know why I used such an informal title with arbitrary capitalization. I guess I was just trying to channel my inner Ain’t It Cool News. Forgive me.

Anyway, that Munsters reboot Mockingbird Lane probably isn’t getting picked up, as we reported last week. However, the pilot will see the light of day, and pretty soon. On Friday, October 26th at 8 PM, NBC will air the hourlong episode for those who weren’t able to snag any invites to Halloween parties.

It’s okay. Let Portia de Rossi and Jerry O’Connell cheer you up. Or spook you. Whatever. I halfheartedly promise this is the last Mockingbird Lane update you’ll get from us.

NBC Passing On That ‘Munsters’ Reboot, Probably So They Can Pick Up Something Even Worse

NBC, the channel known for giving us good, hearty belly laughs by dabbling with a Cee-Lo sitcom, TWO Jenny McCarthy series, a History Channel Hatfields and McCoys ripoff, some non-descript show about pirates, a show about hipsters, a comedy about animal doctors, a Kelsey Grammer Freakonomics cop show, and a Roseanne show or two (read about all that madness and more HERE), has decided, according to THR and Deadline, that the Munsters reboot Mockingbird Lane doesn’t fit their oh-so-stringent criteria for a new show pickup.

Fans of Portia de Rossi, Jerry O’Connell, and Eddie Izzard may look forward to upcoming cameos in other programs, while fans of NBC can look forward to this time slot being filled with a show based on Dan Cortese’s real life or something.
