Mockingbird Lane

Gina Wilhelm Actress - Mockingbird Lane

NBC aired "Mockingbird Lane" Friday night.

The program, produced by "Pushing Daisies" creator Bryan Fuller, was intended to be a reboot and update to "The Munsters."

This version was far grittier than the original, meant to appeal to audiences who watch "Once Upon A Time," "True Blood," and "Grimm."  In fact, "Mockingbird Lane" gave a modest ratings bump to the latter show. 

"Mockingbird Lane" featured Jerry O'Connell as Herman, still constructed from other body parts, but with a less square head.  The role was originated by Fred Gwynne.

Portia de Rossi played Lily, and Eddie Izzard was Grandpa.

The program was originally intended as a pilot for a new TV series.  That series was never picked up, though there is speculation that if the ratings had been high enough, NBC would have ordered more episodes.

About Me

I'm looking forward to one day playing the Baroness in "The Sound of Music." My all-time favorite role is the Wicked Witch of the West in "The Wizard of Oz." While I frequently play mean or otherwise unpleasant women, I am really a very nice person. My vocal range is mezzo-soprano with an augmented low range. My voice has been described by one of my instructors as "rich and soothing."
