The Walking Dead - Season 8



The Dead are Back
The show that couldn't get made just keeps going




By Gary;

Sure the bloom is off the rose. But The Walking Dead has been a Hell of a ride and is going on to season 8.

Who would have thought it?

No network wanted the series. AMC finally stepped up to the plate but funded a tiny six episode mini-series.  Producer Gale Anne Hurd said the budget was so tight the only way they could film was to go to rural Georgia.

AMC rolled the dice. The rest is history.

The show has had some of the best acting and scripts ever done on TV.  So if you are not a Dead fan by now then you truly are dead inside.  Just dig your hole and jump in.

Like with all long running shows ratings start to lower. But Sunday's 11.4 million viewers is still a number most shows can only dream of.  Add in a 2 hour Talking Dead live at the Greek Theater with 6,100 fans broadcasting to millions more at home.

How many shows have this type of insanely fanatic fan base?  How about ZERO.

All good things must come to an end. Will the cast die by the teeth of drooling freaks? or find the safe haven they hope exists?

I will be there till the end to find out.

Glad that you like it , gary .
They must keep a clear vision for a sound minded script , or they as others go bezerk
on invention of stupid scenes , and nonsense ones, that Lost many series ... as Lost ,one of the first to go mad , delusion , awesome craziness absurdity .After 3 or 4 seasons nobody understand what is going on . They go high on acid ,or mescal , or something even more hard , meth or pcp for those scripts.
Vikings got one or two episodes that seems they go a demential road , but they stop short , and are going more rational and clear vision . I like a lot the 1 and 3 seasons.

Theres so may series that one cannot cope with all of then .
Then as they drag themselves , like eternal soap operas , one cannot see no more of then ... they became entangled and craze , beyound any reason .
WD also.
From someof then , i saw one of two episodes ... than as we saw that they go to a lot of seasons ... those scripts go mad , mad , mad .
Thats why most viewers are fed up with series .
I saw footbaal matches , even those fixed ones .
