To be honest, we were kind of wary of this headline because network television’s new obsession over live televised stage musicals isn’t always a sure bet, in our opinion, and, also, we didn’t get a hint of Mel’s involvement in it.

Now that we know Mel Brooks is thoroughly involved with the process of bringing his comedy classic Young Frankenstein up to be a live musical, we’re actually excited to see how crazy and meta Brooks will get and what hijinks he’ll try to pull off, especially because it’s live.  

Details for this live Young Frankenstein musical telecast or any other details for that matter have yet to be announced (but we’ll let you know once we find out).
