Here's to hoping it isn't canceled in the middle of it's first season ala Jericho.

True enough on the "don't write 'em like that anymore". Some of my favorites are films from the 30's and 40's, especially Noir. I DVR and archive a lot of stuff from TMC that they play in the wee hours.

I have the series dvr'd, and ready to go!

My son (8 y/o) like both guns and zombie movies.

He winked before bed tonight, and said 'Remember, Dad....Burt Reynolds and Rosie O'Donnell'!

Makes me proud!

Okay, I can see the Burt Reynolds/guns connection, but Rosie O'Donnell and zombies?  As far as I know, brainz aren't THAT fattening!

Dawn of the Dead reference, the gun store owner shooting from the rooftop scene, a classic.

I was a little disappointed, but not a great deal. The cop never learned how to siphon gas? I guess they needed a way to bring a horse into it to look like a western.

Yeah me too. He made a few bonehead moves that took away from how cool the trailers were. First episode though, so I'll give it some time.

Well , in addition to recovering from some hospital room neglect, the guy was recovering from a shovel to the head.

I'm willing to cut him some slack  ;)

It wasn't too bad, any disappointment was minimal.  I'm going to leave it on auto-DVR, see how it goes.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

My ears ring whenever I shoot a .357 without hearing protection outside. I can only imagine what it would be like in a confined space.

True enough. I was figuring the writers were trying to build an emotional backstory. I'm just an impatient guy who likes to see zombies get wacked. :)

I'm trying to figure out how long he was out, given that his wife is already lip-locking his patrol partner.
