Mocking Bird Lane


Mocking Bird Lane

A cheery blend of 60s and present day remake of The Munsters form Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies).  Jerry O’Connell’s Herman a Frankenstein-like dad, wife Lily played by Portia de Rossi is a sexy spidery vamp; Eddie Izzard is the Dracula-esque Grandpa, son Eddie played by Mason Cook who has just discovered he's a ware-wolf and wants to be a vegetarian and then there's cousin Marilyn played by Charity Wakefield who is the “normal” one.

It's too bad this series didn't get green lit as it is charming, has the right amount of comic moments from Eddie Izzard and enough modern flare; like when Grandpa is drinking Eddie's scout leader to appeal to the Once Upon A Time audience.
