With all the changes so far, they might as well change the characters names too. Better off distancing this show from the real Munsters as much as possible.
Considering Bryan Singer's involvement -- I guess I'm not too surprised at all the changes. After all, Singer was the guy who made Superman an inter-galactic dead beat dad.
Who would have thought that 20 odd years after
The Munsters Today we'd be facing a still worse 'revival' the classic T.V. series. Speaking of which, I wouldn't be surprised if anyone else didn't really remember
The Munsters Today. If you want to see the show the whole series is up on Hulu, I might start with just a Youtube video of the intro first.
