Now an NBC Halloween special, Bryan Fuller's problem-plagued "Munsters" reboot doesn't quite get there despite an impressive pedigree.

Every time Bryan Fuller gets his mind around something (Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me), it's important to watch because often it comes out pretty fantastic if not always popular. Even when he's writing for existing shows (Heroes, Star Trek: Voyager), you feel his presence.
