I watched this pilot when they finally showed it on NBC and absolutely loved it. It's not campy like the original, but it's still full of heart and emotion and wonderful dark humor. The cast is terrific, including Jerry O'Connell as Herman. He and Portia de Rossi, as a more sultry Lilly, have so much chemistry you can believe they've been in love for hundreds of years. Marilyn is still the "normal" one, but even she has a delightful dark streak running through her. And Eddie Izzard as Grandpa steals the show. It really irritatates me that this wasn't picked up for a series. If you ever get the chance, watch it. It's a lot of fun.
