03/02/12 - Munsters remake to change name

TV Line is reporting that The Munsters TV series reboot won't be called The Munsters.

The American network behind the show has decided to scrap its classic title in favour of something new, and will be called Mockingbird Lane.

The new title is a nod to the family's residence, which is located at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. If true, this is a rather strange move by the network and the show's creators, as the whole point of reboots is to capitalize on name recognition.

Mockingbird Lane is the creation of Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies) and Bryan Singer, producer and director of X-Men.
