What happens when two creators whose work you admire team up for a project that sounds, at best, like an ill-considered idea? I’m about to find out, with the news that Pushing Daisies‘ Bryan Fuller may be rebooting The Munsters for NBC, with Guillermo del Toro taking some kind of behind the scenes position on the series. Now, I loved Pushing Daisies – and before that, both Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me – but just the high concept pitch of “Modern Family meets True Blood” makes me very nervous about the show, even if del Toro ends up producing or, by some wonderful twist of scheduling, directing. Is it that wrong that I’d rather see the two collaborating on something all-new, instead of trying to remake a show that, let’s be honest, was never as good as The Addams Family to begin with?
