Munster Duty

So NBC and the man behind the gone-too-soon Pushing Daisies, Bryan Fuller, are developing a reboot of The Munsters, right.

Guess who they would adore to play Marilyn.

Done guessing?

None other than Kristen Bell.

I. Die.

“Are you kidding me?” Fuller said. “Kristen would be perfect.” He also explains that the Munster clan’s “plain” cousin will be much more pivotal than she was in the original 1960s TV show in this Modern Family-meets-True Blood take. “She is our eyes into the world in the sense that we all can relate to our families exhibiting some level of monstrous behavior.

“This version [of the show] has teeth and isn’t afraid to use them,” he said. “For example, the story begins when young Eddie unexpectedly manifests as a werewolf on a scout camping trip and inadvertently eats two of his fellow scouts.”

Bell would be a fantastic choice for this, IMHO, and would make this must-watch TV for sure.
