Mockingbird Lane

what was it called something lane yes i'm

mockingbird lane that's right that's it god i remember now

she's dragging him upstairs for a fuck it must be the full moon she's like quick we've got to make the most of this big hairy dick

Yeah.

The neighbors should be more concerned with what I'm thinking.

All the way back at episode 27, when we reviewed the 2012 attempted reboot of The Munsters called Mockingbird Lane, we originally felt the show was too vast of a departure from the original source material.

Everything from the casting of certain actors in certain roles to amping up certain elements that didn't really need to be amped up in the first place, and that we originally thought that it was a largely unnecessary chapter to an already beloved franchise.

Six years later, though, I saw it again, and with fresh eyes, I realized that maybe we were a little too hard on the show.

That's a strange way of saying hello.

Oh, I guess we're gonna have to get used to it.

So, better late than never, to those of you out there that thought I was unfair to Mockingbird Lane, you're officially not alone.

The show is good on its own merits, but it's still a little rough around the edges.

Yeah.

Put 1315 Mockingbird Lane?

1313.

That's what I

Oh, Lane? I feel slick when you drive.

Lane.

Lane? Yeah, Mockingbird Lane.

Yeah, Mockingbird Lane.

An unsold pilot can still air.

Mockingbird Lane did.

So the real death sentence isn't rejection, it's non-broadcast.

Which is why unknown archive TV finding a hundred fifty-plus pilots since nineteen fifty-four from private closets, estate sales, is so strange.

It was contingent.

The moment recouping costs stopped penciling out, the anthology model disappeared.

Brian Fuller's Munsters remake as a one-hour special after it got rejected, that's not the system.

That's an exception so rare people still cite it.

Yeah.

They tried to, they tried to reboot it for TV called Mockingbird Lane.

Mm-hmm.

And it didn't work as a pilot, and then they tried to repackage the pilot into, like, a one-time Halloween special, I think.

He eventually moved to LA after graduating from Studio ACT.

He's been in the films Father's Day, The Cross, GB2525, Mockingbird Lane, Force of Execution, and Bullet.

He was main cast in The Oath, and, uh, he's in a f- like well over 20 episodes of Big Sky, so I think he's main cast in at least a season there, but I might be wrong.

He had recurring roles in Weeds, True Justice, How to Get Away With Murder, and Love.
