Well - I thought it was terrific....


I missed it when it aired in October - and just caught it tonight on my Cable's OnDemand... This was pretty awesome... boy I mean - I realize it's unusual and see why it wouldn't fit everyone's taste - but I have to say I loved it... wish it was given more of a chance.

I just watched it On Demand, too, and I thought it was great fun.

Now I'm wondering, why make it available On Demand if it isn't going to be picked up? Maybe it still has a shot as a mid-season replacement or something, if one is needed.

The kids are a mess! You brought them home exhausted and pretentious!

I just watched it on demand too, I really liked it. I'm a fan of Fuller though, loved Pushing Daises and this whole style. I really hope we get more of it.

i also just watched it and thought it was funny, witty, charming and brilliant. one of the best tv series i've seen in a while. it was really fun to watch

On Demand (I believe) still generates some sort of revenue. So I would imagine it's worth their while to try and milk what they can from it.

I caught it there as well (didn't even realize it ran). I'm glad that I knew it hadn't been picked up as a series. I really enjoyed Pushing Daisies, and even though I was a bit skeptical about this I watched it because of that show.

I didn't think it was stellar, but it had some great bits and I think I would have kept watching it if it had gone to series. It was imaginative and looked great.

The only (minor) thing that bothered me was the music. The rehash of the original theme was cute. Once. But it kept re-occuring and I thought that was a bit lazy. But that's such a minor thing...

I liked it too.

It would have been interesting to see where the story went from here...

I watched it last night and found it quite interesting once it settled down. I didn't appreciate the boy clearly being used for expostion, which could have been more creativily expunged from the characters through some decent storytelling. Though i found myself symathetic towards the Munster family and their inner conflicts, partially despising what they really are. In addition to the grandfather that clearly embraced and was a little bit lonely being the only true Munster. It's a shame it be no more.
