Jerry O'Connell will kill the memory of Herman Munster.

This is one show I hope AutoHop skips the entire show.

They think they can get a built in audience since there usually are a lot of people with fond memories of a show. Kind of like the Hawaii 50 remake has been popular.

Unbelievable. Why can't they just leave it alone? I can only imagine what they'll do with it . Sex jokes etc. I don't want to sound like an old guy (I'm 49) but I can put on just about any old show from the 1950's to the 1960's and my kids love them. They love the Munsters. And I don't have to worry about skipping the bad stuff.

Have you guys ever seen the Original Pilot from The Munsters?

This opening makes my kids laugh out loud. When Herman goes out the door.

Just a trailer years and years ago. Thank goodness they hired Yvonne De Carlo to play Lily.

There may not be many complete failures...but this would be one of them.
