What I Like Right Now: The Walking Dead

Hey there.

Since I'm getting back into the world of blogging, I figured I'd do something I haven't done in a while.

I'm gonna talk about stuff that I'm liking nowadays.

First off, I'm a TV addict. Born and bred. I love good TV shows that don't turn one's brains till mush.

The majority of things I like are usually stuff that come across on the tube.

There are several TV shows that I watch religiously. Fox's Fringe, Smallville and Supernatural on the CW, Sons of Anarchy on FX, and Showtime's Dexter are just a few of the shows that I tune in to.

But the one I'm addicted to nowadays is the newest show from AMC, The Walking Dead.

Now, first off, I'm not a full on fan of zombie films. There have been a few instances, like 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead. But I've never been a fan of the genre.

However, I'm a fan of this show.

I was hooked into this way back in July, when I saw the premiere trailer for this at Comic Con in San Diego (I'll talk about my time out there at a later post.)

As I stood there, surrounded by hundreds of others, transfixed by the images of this upcoming television show. I knew that I had to see this show.

Then when it premiered, on Halloween night no less, the show got my attention. The first five minutes of it alone blew me away, and from then on, I've found my latest TV show addition.

The one downside of this show is the fact that the first season is so short, six episodes in all. But they've put together a good blend of the scare factor with the zombies and the human drama of the survivors trying to make due in the aftermath of the apocalypse. The show will be back for a longer second seasson, 13 episodes, but more than likely it won't return again till next Halloween.

In any event, this show has become one of my faves. From the haunting theme song to the performances of the cast to the downright gory look of the zombies themselves, it has hit all the buttons. I can't wait to see where this goes next.

That's the latest with what I'm liking right now. From time to time, I'll touch on other things I like. It can range from movies and other TV shows, to stuff that I pick up at the stores.

Blog at you soon.
