that looks awful

>>86200887
They should get John "I was innnn Vietnam" Kerry and Ted "Zodiac Killer" Cruz to play the Munstets. They look like them lol.

>>86201874
it was pretty bad

>>86201698
I thought it had a neat look to it. Trying to make some sort of family drama out of it instead of just doing a straightforward comedy was a mistake though.

>>86201698
I thought it had potential, but I was disturbed by the Munsters actually killing people, I felt like that crossed a line, and made it hard to relate to them

They really have no understanding of even superficial things.

The Munsters worked because of the parody of classic universal horror monsters. Nobody knows these anymore, they're just diluted to some general vague trope everyone has an idea about, but there's nothing to parody.

The joke is supposed to work because they're serious characters and actual horror movies. Frankenstein and Dracula are jokes you see more often referenced in a cartoon now.

You COULD do this concept but take modern horror villains that haven't been diluted comedically. Take Freddy, Jason, an inbred mutant.. things from the 80s and 90s horror franchises. You could mine that for the same kind of humor. But of course that couldn't happen because of rights issues, everyone's too fucking greedy.

I like the munsters. I liked mockingbird Lane cause of the sliders guy. Let's give it another go boy just play it straightened what it was.

When are we going to get a Munsters vs Adams Family battle royale series?

Id rather see an Addams Family relaunch as a movie or show

>>86203915
The cast of the 90's movies were perfect, I don't want to see them fuck it up by casting blacks and gays for every role.

>>86201698
I didn't even realize they had rebooted it.

>>86204077
well they only aired the pilot as a "Halloween Special" that no one watched. It was never a full show

>>86201698
>We want the AHS audience

>>86203915
This
Adam's Family is much better than The Munsters.

>Jerry O'Connell as Herman Munster
>Eddie Izzard as Grandpa
This is what it looks like when a spurg gets famous enough to do "fan casting" for a series.

>>86203915
Pls no.

>>86205599
What have you got against Eddie Izzard?

>>86204808
adams family always was and always will be inferior to the munsters

>>86205692
Eddie's an amazing performer on stage. Every acting venture has been atrocious.

I smell a crossover / shared universe

>>86205745
i liked him in hannibal

It's almost like like you can't just dig up old shit from the 50's that nobody cares about and no longer has the right context for existing, heat it up in the microwave and expect people to care
Is there a documentary or some article I can read that does a thorough breakdown of how someone gets to be the head of a television network, because I find it hard to believe that even blind nepotism could produce people of such consistent mediocrity

>>86201698
2012 seems like forever ago when you could still actually have an all white cast

>>86206742
the way you get ahead in Hollywood is by being a better ass-kissing suck-up than anyone else.

>>86202931
Why are they making Hotel Transylvania 3 if the Munsters wouldn't be appealing anymore?

>>86207578
Because it's a bright and colorful kids movie, it sells itself as well as halloween costumes and candy do
A succesful tv show requires the active participation of an audience of adults who hypothetically need more than bright colors and funny faces to be entertained, especially now that most kids would rather watch reaction videos and Minecraft LPs than a tv show

>Another fucking NBC show about New York
