10 TV Shows You Didn't Know Were Being Revived
5. The Munsters
America's First Family of Fright (although the series actually debuted a week after The Addams Family), The Munsters first spooked audiences way back in 1964, beginning a two-season run of 70 episodes on CBS that actually achieved higher ratings than it's ABC competitor.
The Munsters don't have the same cultural recognition nowadays, but there's still an audience for a reboot to tap into. Indeed, NBC have already tried and failed once, with 2012's pilot Mockingbird Lane failing due to its darker nature and inconsistent tone.
The new reboot is more heavily inspired by the original series, with the modern twist that it's being set in hipster Brooklyn, and is being produced by Late Night host Seth Meyers.
