TELEVISION: "THE MUNSTERS" ARE BACK !

"NBC is rebooting "The Munsters," and you'll never believe who is playing the family patriarch, Herman Munster. Or maybe you will, because he's been on a slew of other shows already. Jerry O'Connell, best known for being married to Rebecca Romijn, will do his best to fill Fred Gwynne's sizable shoes.

The show, which will be called "Mockingbird Lane," will also feature Eddie Izzard as Grandpa Munster and Mason Cook as the werewolf Eddie. TVLine is reporting that the pilot episode will be directed by Bryan Singer ("X-Men," "The Usual Suspects").

The "Munsters" reboot will be substantially different from the original. Instead of a half-hour sitcom, the new version will be a one-hour drama..."

Frankly, I can only see Brad Garrett in the role of Herman--it's a no brainer!

Maybe Terri Hatcher, Kim Kardashian , Marisa Tomei, Eva Mendes or even Eva Langoria (my fav. choice) in the role of  glam-doll, matriarch,  Lily Munster.

For Marilyn? Pick any of the million blondes in Hollywood-her role was always minimal. If I was casting I would go with Megan Hilty, if the "SMASH" thing doesn't work out.

In keeping w/ the  latest TV trends, will Eddie have a gay playmate or will the Munster's have a ghoulish gay couple?
