The Walking Dead (2010) TV series

America overrun by zombies?! A TV series!? Talk about an original doomsday scenario. But zombies are hot right now in 2010, so watch for this new TV show The Walking Dead set to premiere on ... Halloween (October 31) 2010 on AMC. The series is based on Robert Kirkman's comic book series of the same name.

February 24, 2015 Update: The show is still in production and is one of the most watched shows on TV. As I tell people, it's not about the zombies, as gruesome as they are and the endless re-deaths they go through at the hands of the survivors, rather the show is about a small band of survivors led by a sheriff named Rick Grimes. At the time of this writing his wife, who had survived, is long dead and he, along with his group whom he calls his family, and his young son are caring for their baby girl.
