Yeah, I know... but you know... it just brings back bad memories of all the classic muscle that DoH wrecked in it's long run.

Is it?
Their promos make it sound like it's going to be an actual series.
Granted, 6 episodes is long in mini-series terms.

Maybe it's an "intelligent" show, where they assume that they don't have to tell the audience what they already know? For all we know, Sheriff Andy of Mayberry might be constantly thinking, "How the hell did the Zombie Apocalypse happen, without me being able to get to my stash?"

They were going for the sense of shock and disbelief that "normal" people would have.

You guys are all screwed anyway. You're expecting zombies but I've got a longbow, a few dozen cedar arrows, and a bucket-load of garlic bulbs. Oh, you'll all come crying for my help, when the douchebag vampires attack. "Twilight" has been setting up all the teenage girls to be easy fodder.

Yeh its based on a graphic novel and comic book, I just looked it up on wikipedia and it is only 6 episodes for the first season

On January 21, 2010 AMC announced that a pilot was ordered for the show,[12] which will begin filming on 15 May 2010.[13] Cast members include Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, Sarah Wayne Callies as Lori[14], Chandler Riggs as Carl Grimes[15], Jon Bernthal as Shane Walsh, Steven Yeun as Glenn, Laurie Holden as Andrea, IronE Singleton as T-Dog[citation needed], and Jeffrey DeMunn as Dale.[16] Six episodes have been ordered as part of the first season.[17] [18] Greg Nicotero worked on the special and make-up effects.[19]

As far as my issue with the grass, I totally understand the complexities of shooting on location, its just something that kept standing out to me.

They always wreck the muscle car! As bad as The Punisher and Demolition man were, crashing the muscle cars made them even worse.

On topic, I liked the episode. I thought I was done with zombie shit, but this one has my interest.

Well, it was a total monster mash last night. The Halloween premiere of AMC's new zombie series The Walking Dead brutally devoured 5.3m viewers, the highest cable debut of the year. So does this mean that many of us identify with the survivors, with the people who live in exile from the witless hordes, or are we recognizing something in ourselves in those very witless hordes? I suspect it's actually something in the middle. We're the trees and crows and whatnot, watching the battle play out. [THR]

Just watched it... Only one episode and it could beat out Sons of Anarchy as my new favorite show. Full of win and potential for indescribable amounts of more win.

this show is a gun nuts wet dream
