" Mockingbird Lane has been officially dropped by NBC. The Munsters reboot starring Jerry O&amp;#039;Connell, Eddie Izzard and Portia de Rossi has been axed after a single pilot episode, creator Bryan Fuller announced on Twitter.   Fuller wrote: &amp;quot;I tweet with a heavy heart. NBC not moving forward with #MockingbirdLane. From producers and cast, thank you all for enthusiasm and support.&amp;quot; Mockingbird Lane was originally developed by the previous NBC controllers in 2010-11. However, its script was kept by new chief Bob Greenblatt in January 2011. The show was redeveloped and ordered to a pilot in November 2011, before being delayed until June 2012 due to casting issues. Bryan Singer directed the pilot with O&amp;#039;Connell as family head Herman Munster and Izzard as Grandpa. The pilot was originally passed but was later aired as a Halloween special in October. It scored relatively decent ratings with 5.4 million viewers and a 1.5 18-49 demographic score. However, despite rumours that the project may be refocused on Grandpa and cousin Marilyn, NBC has now decided to drop the series altogether. Mockingbird Lane&amp;#039;s pilot episode is said to have cost $10 million in total. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
