NBC Orders Remake Pilot of The Munsters

NBC has announced that they have ordered a pilot to be made for a remake of the classic show The Munsters.

Bryan Fuller, the creator of Pushing Daisies, will be turning the originally half-hour show into a new, full hour series. The original show aired for 70 episodes, and the new series will supposedly take a darker look at the family.

The idea of shows starring monsters is becoming a new fad in television, as new series Grimm and Once Upon a Time have started in recent months and new shows based on the Frankenstein monster and Hannibal Lecter have also been commissioned.
