Will it beat Lost in Space?
Of course once he takes the safety off on the Glock everything will be OK.

DAMN! I thought FX had a lock on hardcore. Apparently, I was mistaken. ;D

Based in Georgia I noted.............Funny, they had the sheriff cars painted GSP (blue and silver) colors, since I guess they can't use actual state agency markings. ;D
Looks interesting.
-
I can't WAIT for that show!!
Peg it's probably set in Georgia cuz Atlanta is already full of zombies!! ;D

I heard it was supposed to be set in DC....but since zombies eat brains primarily, they knew no one would buy into it....
;D

Reallity TV
-
Looks like a good one.....I like the theme...
Reminds me of Omega Man staring Charlton Heston and based on the book I Am Legend by Richard Matheson except with Zombies instead of Vampires.

Always the zombies,.....Where's the ZCLU? Flagrant bias, and discrimination. They are simply the undead,.....geez....lighten up.

Looks great. ;D

An American version of 28 Days Later?? The way that movie should have been if the English weren't such nannies! lol I'll give it a look this fall. ::)
-
Show starts 9pm central sunday on AMC. It's an hour and a half premier. Looks good, hope it's up to the hype.
-
If anyone here uses torrents the first "pre-air" episode has already came out.
Looks like it might be ok although for a cop the dude has about as much commonsense as a drugged poodle.
Dead Set was probably the best "zombie" tv series made. (english I know but very good)
-
I'm watching Dead Set now, last show is on tonight. It's pretty good. And damn those zombies can run!

I was, and still am, a huge fan of The Shield. From that show, I became interested in its "offspring" The Unit (another Shawn Ryan masterpiece) and am getting back into Sons of Anarchy (Kurt Sutter's episodes of The Shield were the best). One of my field trainers after I graduated from the Academy would often tell me in reference to dealing with certain types of people..."Sometimes you have to be Vic. Sometimes you have to be Lem."
I have never liked to read but have done more in the last few years, thanks to reading "Inside Delta Force." It was amazing how close to Eric Haney's stories that the show was... i.e. the shooting house with live ammo/live "hostages", selection process and other small but noticeable references.

Common sense is very uncommon these days.

Yup but not 2200 fps! :-)

True, didn't care for the ending. But over all it was a good show.

original Star Trek no doubt about it.

MASH without question. Its one of the very few shows that never really gets dated. Its still as funny now as it was in primetime. Very, very few shows can say that.

Nice Smith & Wesson. I wonder how many rounds it holds in the show. Perhaps it has a safety, too. I did notice toward the end that our protagonist was using a BHP. Hmm...
-
S&W? I thot it was a Python. But then I was watching NFL with one eye.
Based on the trailer I will NOT be a viewer of this show. Too stoopid.
-
Okay, that's just downright embarrassing. It IS a Python. I don't know how I missed that ventilated rib.
-
So the wife and I watched it last night.
1) Anything with a firearm in it was wrong. Watching the deputy thumb the slide release to take off the safety on a Glock had me yelling at the TV. The hero telling a gent that the scope was accurate on a rifle was amusing. The complete lack of using cover in a gunfight was silly.
2) Lot's of zombies: fast and slow.
3) Lot's of carnage and chaos. Lots of dead, dead folks and dead undead folks.
4) The most flies in the history of TV! See above.
5) Plot twists are too predictable.
6) Atlanta as I always dreamed it should be.
7) Very good special effects.
Solid B If they had hired Bane,Janich or the Pincus as technical advisor it would have gotten a A-

Watched it,,,,,,,,it was like any zombie movie, but not near gory enough!
I'd watch it again, maybe....

That's exactly the thought I had when the guy woke up in the hospital and wandered outside. I haven't seen the whole first episode yet - way past my bedtime (some of us have to get up early and go to work, don't you know?). But it's on the DVR.
-
Watched this afternoon on DVR after getting back from a dr's appointment... seemed OK....probably watch a few more episodes to see what pans out.
-
I forgot all about it until a couple hours after it ended. Oops.
-
Don't know about anyone else, but I can't believe I'd be so dazed and b ewildered that I'd leave that hospital without going back to my room to get shoes, at least, and clothes...
-
I saw this t-shirt online today.

That was probably the most realistic part. That and the flies.
Starts out with Mad Max, then goes to 28 Days, then Legend, then ...
-
We watched it....... :P
Ick! I thought it was boring..and boring.... and well~~~ stupid and boring.
I went into the kitchen the last 15 minutes and did dishes..
I think Marshal took it off the DVR timer schedule.

You can watch the highlights of the whole season in under 2 minutes.
