How come there's never a show that shows things from the viewpoint of the ZOMBIES.

I WANT MORE ZOMBIECENTRIC PROGRAMMING

Heh. TV show from the point of view of a zombie. That would be fun.

There are currently about #437,652,903 TV shows and movies out there about a "zombie apocalypse". How people can get excited about The Walking Dead and zombies biting random people every week is beyond me. George Romero milked that tired idea to death.

I only enjoy zombies when they put a new spin on the idea, like Zombieland making it a zany comedy/satire with Bill Murray and having specific "rules" for surviving zombie attacks pop up on screen throughout the movie. WHAT does Walking Dead do that hasn't been done a million times before? None of its fanboys can explain to this to me.

The "zombies" we see in movies and TV shows like that aren't even real zombies. The "traditional" intrepretation of a zombie in western culture was always a dead person brought back by voodoo or something that mindlessly obeys the orders of whoever brought it to life, and does their bidding. Only since the 1960s Romero zombies has it come to mean a rotting group of leaderless corpses stumbling around looking to eat humans. It's funny the Romero purists hate zombies who eat brains, too. If you're going to reinvent them to eat flesh for no specific reason, there's nothing wrong with a variation that craves human brains.

Sorry, had to rant about this ridiculous zombie craze. I have zero interest in Walking Dead. If I want to watch zombies eat people, the 1985 classic Return of the Living Dead is infinitely more interesting.
