Zombies? Yeah, I know, can't swing a dead cat without hitting zombie shows these days, but this is more than a zombie show. Zombies are mostly a backdrop (not unlike the Alliance, etc.) for creating a dangerous world in which to watch and study human behavior... to see good people acting badly maybe... and bad people acting worse? In a post-apocolytic world, where death might be around every corner and where other real humans may be the most dangerous thing, who's to say what is right and wrong? What would you do to survive? And who would you do it to? Scaries!

Having read the graphic novels that this is based on I think this could be a great series - DVR it for sure.

I will definitely be watching!

I have followed the comics since they first hit shelves, and to this day it remains my favorite comic. Been following Kirkman's production blog and what I've read there along with the trailers have me pretty excited.

I agree that the zombies are more backdrop than other zombie movies, providing more of a catalyst for an intriguing, and sometimes horrifying, look at what people become in a post apocalyptic world where the dead roam the earth.

Only 3 more days!

I was skeptical when I first started reading the comics, but Kirkman's plot choices won me over. And his characters - it's hard not to see a bit of Malcolm Reynolds in Rick (only without the humor!). I'm also a big fan of Dale and Andrea - any woman who's a crack shot with a sniper rifle holds a special place in my heart.

There are really no zombie shows on TV unless you want to count "Ugly Americans" which is cheap and stupid. I'm going to check this out, if it's cheap and stupid it won't last long.

Never read the novels, but I've been very intrigued ever since I heard about this. Definitely got the DVR set for this one.

After all, AMC seems to be on a bit of a roll these days, with "Mad Men", "Breaking Bad", and "Rubicon", so I think they've earned a watch, at least from me.

The modern definition of "socialist" is anyone who's winning an argument against a tea-bagger.

Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar.
Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.

Uh, more than half the top ten tv shows are cheap and stupid... but do have a look and try and give it some time - took me 3-4 eps of Firefly before I was hooked.

Tonight!

Being a huge fan of the comic book watching the trailer looks like the first episode isn't going to deviate in any way from the printed page. I can't wait until tonight. Sadly, I already know what's going to happen.

Right on. So many of the top shows ARE cheap and stupid. And if I'd watched Firefly on TV when it was on, I'd have likely been hooked by the first ep shown; after all, it was "The Train Job" that got me well and truly hooked. Once Mal kicked Crow through the engine, I knew this wasn't going to be any ordinary show!

But you're right - it was the third hour on the DVD set before I was hooked. :)

I watched the premier last night at 10pm. Excellent show. The opening was a carbon-copy of 28 days later, but I was ok with it.

So it looks like we have the makings of a superior series, which of course means it will be canceled.
