Jerry O’Connell to Play Herman Munster

Jerry O’Connell to Play Herman Munster. Doesn’t Hollywood have an original idea anymore? We predict this will tank faster than Facebook stock.

  • Doesn’t Hollywood have an original idea anymore?

    Well, I heard that they were considering making a movie out of Superman!
    What's next? A Batman movie?

  • "Whether a more mainstream NBC audience will follow an edgier group of Munsters remains to be seen."

    Can NBC recapture the innocent, yet funny vibe of the original? Or will it be like too many NBC shows, filled with jokes about conservatives and Christian bashing?

  • The joke in the original Munsters was that a group of people who were so bizarre, even horrid, on the surface were, in reality, goodhearted, fine upstanding people, thoroughly honest and trustworthy.

    I kinda doubt the entertainment industry of today would be able to comprehend that dichotomy, let alone duplicate it. I expect the show will be the usual BS, something like "Two and a Half Men" only with fright masks.

  • The Munsters. Seriously? Lame.

    By the way, John Kerry would be waaaay better Connell as Fred Munster. Think of all the costs for make-up the studio would save.

    • A flat top haircut, two bolts on his neck and a scar (unless he has one on his forehead from Vietnam) and your ready to go....He even has the walk down....

  • If our present culture is so great, why do the media companies have to go back to the past for inspiration?
