Ashton Kutcher meets Herman Munster on Sesame Street

One stop shopping today, folks. I'm giving you all the day's TV news in one item. Then tying it up in a video bow (see below).

First up on the docket: NBC has approved a remake of the '60s sitcom, The Munsters. Everything old is new again. Yesterday CBS gave the green light to a Bewitched remake. Today it's a return to 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Makes a certain type of sense. With the crazy popularity of vampires, zombies and werewolves, this old monster-mash just might suit.

Secondly, Ashton Kutcher sold a new reality show to TruTV. It documents the people who work at the DMV. Maybe this will make the lines move faster. Kutcher has been in the news a lot lately because he's being touted as the best paid sitcom star on TV, in the $700,000 to $900,000 range per episode for replacing Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men.

Finally there is an internet campaign gaining momentum which has people petitioning Sesame Street to let Bert and Ernie engage in a same-sex marriage. It would be an interesting lesson in diversity, but I doubt Kermit will go for it. Miss Piggy has soured him on the institution

Now, as promised a video that braids all those stories into one piece de resistance:

In this vinatge clip from The Munsters, the always ambitious Herman (a towering performance by Fred Gwynne) wants to get a driver's license so he can get promoted at the funeral parlor to hearse driver. That entails a trip to the DMV which begins quite promisingly. And then a trip to the courthouse where the near-sighted justice is convinced that Herman and Grandpa Munster (the immortal Al Lewis) are looking to get a license to marry each other.

Wait until Lily finds out.
