Some People Deserve Killin'

Last night the show "Walking Dead" premiered on AMC. This is their new series filling the space where two great shows, "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men" used to occupy. Those two really good shows are on hiatus, so to fill the time slot AMC has made an awful decision to air "Walking Dead."

This series is nothing but a re-make of all those "corpses walking around trying to find a living human to feast on" movies.
Gruesome, violent, nasty. Supposedly some kind of virus gives people a very high fever, they die but still live, staggeringing around like zombies, their bodies rotting away while they look for living flesh. A mere scratch from them, and you're infected.

It's too campy to be scary, and the living characters do such ridiculous things you wonder if they've developed s*it for brains. Three characters are hiding out in a house--they cover the windows, but you can tell there's gaps in the window coverings, and they have candles and lights on that can obviously be seen from outside. I say if they're that stupid, they deserve to be eaten. Grrmusush!

Another reason not to have cable TV. I'll take PBS.

Hi sol; good decision!

I saw part of it and I am in complete agreement with hobbie.

Most TV programming is rather pathetic these days. If Donna didn't need the night-lite effect of the big box while she plays on FB I'd get the news from the computer and ditch the TV cable.

Hi jj; I keep cable so when my bones ache and I can't sleep, I can get up and have the mindless chatter of television put me to sleep. My mind is turning to mush so it doesn't hurt much...

LOL I hate scary dumb movies. Would rather have a thriller, drama, or better yet...a comedy

Hi there Legally Blond has been showing on various channels; it is such a cute funny movie--you know this one?
reply by susil on Nov 2, 2010 5:27 PM ()
Doesn't sound like my cup of tea, either. I just read Rona Jaffe's book "The Best of Everything" set in 1952, which surely the office girls on Mad Men were based upon.

One time you said you were watching Mad Men? On the last episode, Don fell in love (!!) and proposed to his secretary!

I think I saw a preview for that one...Not my style.

Could you rent some favourite shows on DVD while you wait for the others to return from hiatus?
comment by juliansmom on Nov 1, 2010 6:25 PM ()
Hi mom; probably so, but I don't have a DVD player. I'll wait for the reruns..

I can't stand button-pushing horror movies. Or any movies that contrive situations that try to get knee-jerk fear reactions. It's bad writing, bad movie making, and the people who love these movies are in the Tea Party.
comment by tealstar on Nov 1, 2010 3:45 PM ()
Hi teal; yep, this is one of those button pushing series; don't like having my buttons pushed--Not a Tea Party person!

My daDDy sez they will never beat the original one, NIGHT OF...whatever, that wuz made in black and white. Myself, I prefer the Disney channel and goofier movies. They makes me laff.
comment by hobbie on Nov 1, 2010 1:07 PM ()
Dear hobbie; The original Night Of..whatever was awful too; never liked it either. I like laff movies too, like Shrek and Babe..
