Do The Munster Mash

.

Ever since Pushing Daisies drifted off on a cloud of dandelion seeds, save a brief dalliance in Heroes-ville we've been full-on Bryan Fuller-less, and the world's been a little bit grayer, with a little less music in the air. We've all just assumed he'd been spending the time building playing-card skyscrapers and doing dolphin taxidermy in his attic, but no! With a sudden swiftness that's knocked me outta my socks once twice thrice times - thankfully I wear four pairs of socks every day - the announcements have come. He's doing a series for SyFy! He's writing a newfangled version of Pinnochio! And now, this (via EW):

"Consider this an early Halloween present from me to you: Pushing Daisies mastermind Bryan Fuller is toiling away on a modern-day reboot of the creepshow classic The Munsters!

So far, NBC, with whom Fuller has an overall deal, has ordered only a pilot. But since the potential series is being described to me as “Modern Family meets True Blood,” I have a good feeling about it.

Not only that, but rumor has it no less than Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy) is eyeing a behind-the-scenes role in the project."
