The only way a reboot would work...


...is if they cast nearly exact impersonators of the original cast. The only other option would be either a Pixar animated or 2D animated series or movie with voice actors impersonating the original actors.

'The only other option would be either a Pixar animated or 2D animated series or movie'

I'd be interested (as a kid I loved the original). Might seem a bit too similar to Hotel Transylvania though for kids these days.

The Rob Zombie Munsters movie was great though

Rob Zombie should be in jail for committing that crime against The Munsters. Nobody but him wants to watch his damn wife cosplaying as Lily Munster.

There have been several reboots already. The John Schuck/Lee Meriwether one wasn't bad. Although I do believe they should have cast Al Lewis to play Grandpa again

None of the trash reboots worked, they all FAILED.

I thought NBC’s Mockingbird Lane pilot was great.

Instead of trying to copy the original series (which wouldn’t work) they revamped it as a more realistic reimagined version with dark humor. Wish it had been greenlit as a series.
