As civil unrest grows, and the dead take over, Travis and Madison try to devise ways to protect their families.
Sorry, post title should be Episode 6.
Walking Dead ping!
Please let me know if you would like on or off The Walking Dead ping list.
I’m giving it one more chance, but wifey and I are looking forward to the return of the real deal.
Wish they had put `Fear’ in, say, KC, St. Paul or Denver.
So. CA ... it’s like, “Dude! How can you tell the difference between the peeps before and after?”
How many hours are wasted watching this stuff?
You must not have been to Denver lately...not much better than CA
Wasted? I use these shows as training films for my family to get them mentally ready for when the inevitable Zombiepocalypse commences.
Don't think such can happen? Shut down the EBT system for a couple of weeks and see if you are ready to deal with thousands of Obamaphone Zombies trying to get your last jar of Skippy Peanut Butter...
Tonight’s episode is longer — by 11 minutes and is followed by a new Talking Dead.
FYI
Ohhhhh yeah, love the original Walking Dead. Been watching last yrs episodes so I’ll be caught up with new series starts NEXT SUNDAY!
Me toooooooo.
“Season 1 Episode 6: “The Good Man” [Season 1 Finale]”
Six episodes is a whole “season?”
Damn, I’m tired of getting played like this. I want shows to go back to being 24 episodes per season. Damn cable tv (especially HBO, which started this crap)!
Agree.
These short season programs are ridiculous.
Even worse, AMC took a ‘regular’ season of Hell on Wheels and cut it into 2 seasons of about 7 episodes each to close out the series next year.
Its been more than a little slow. They’ve also missed several opportunities to flesh out the back story better. I didn’t like how it started but I do see some promise once they just get past this initial phase but that said it certainly hasn’t lived up to the hype and has fell back on some very worthless stereotypes of the military.
The first season of the walking dead was six episodes. The network does this to gauge interest. A six episode season gives the show a better chance than just a pilot episode.
Good point.
That turned out to be a pretty good show.
Well, John Denver was still around I think, it was 1978. Stayed the night in a really nice place in Estes Park, and rowed my VW across the Rockies, valves clicking like a poodle’s toe-nails on a hardwood floor.
I was telling my wife, “Hey! All the bad guys look like me on this show.”
Then I asked her, “You don’t think I’m a bad guy, do you?” as I polished the feed ramp on my CZ 97B.
And she assured me, no—that I did not look like one ...
love this stuff, and it hasn't hurt us none.
How many hours are wasted clicking on threads to tell people how uninterested you are in the topic?
It’s way better. If you only have 6 hours of story then only tell 6 hours of story. Pumping a bunch of filler episodes doesn’t make a show better, it just dilutes what made the show good over more time. Cable didn’t start it, British TV started it. Some of the best shows in the history of TV have a total episode count under what America used to consider a season. Would the Prisoner be better with 5 episodes nobody actually wanted to make or had story for? Would Fawlty Towers be better with 36 more episodes that weren’t as polished and perfected? Cable just realized it’s a better way to run shows. FTWD has been renewed for 15 next year. The real question is does this creative team have enough story to do 31 episodes across two different shows?
