Clips and Featurette From Tonight’s One Time Only Look at MOCKINGBIRD LANE


Earlier this month we gave you the good news – that we’ll be seeing Bryan Fuller‘s Munsters reboot Mockingbird Lane – and the bad news – that instead of a series, we’re getting only the pilot, probably ever. We are clinging desperately to the distant hope that everyone in the country will be watching, which will change NBC‘s mind, and production will move forward.

As a preview, NBC has released some tasty video for our consumption. You’ll see the wonderful fantastical Bryan Fuller-y look of the production, see the terrific cast, catch hints of that famous theme song, and hopefully by the last clip – our favorite – you’ll agree that we need more of this. Please.

THERE IS A NEW FAMILY IN TOWN ON MOCKINGBIRD LANE AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL NEVER BE THE SAME— Sweet little Eddie Munster (Mason Cook) is a normal kid about to enter the horrors of puberty. Truth is, he’s about to discover that for him becoming a teenager means growing hair in truly unexpected places — as in all over his body — every time the moon is full! Eddie’s got it pretty good though. His loving, supportive, run-of-the-mill family includes his mom Lily (Portia de Rossi), the daughter of Dracula; his dad Herman (Jerry O’Connell), who brings new meaning to “Frankenstein”; and Grandpa (Eddie Izzard), who would give Dracula a run for his money if he weren’t actually Dracula! Of course then there’s creepy cousin Marilyn (Charity Wakefield), who’s really the odd one because she’s so completely normal. This new, reimagined version of the classic 1960’s comedy “The Munsters” is based on executive producer Bryan Fuller’s (“Pushing Daisies,” “Heroes”) script and was directed by executive producer Bryan Singer (“X-Men” film series, “House”).

Mockingbird Lane, starring Jerry O’Connell, Portia de Rossi, Eddie Izzard, Charity Wakefield, and Mason Cook, airs tonight, October 26 at 8/7c on NBC.
