'The Walking Dead' is a television show on AMC about the Zombie Apocalypse. You can view new episodes of this show on Sunday night along with millions of other Americans. It is based on the comic book by the same name. The second season started in October 16, 2011.
When the season first aired on October 13, 2010, it was a quick hit with the viewers and helped to spur the nation into a zombie phase. That first season of the 'Walking Dead' showed us that you can outwit and outlive the zombies if you are smart and stuck together.
This show portrays zombies which are very different from the ones we first seen in the movies by George Romero. His zombies did not seem smart but were very entertaining, I admit I am a huge fan and have watched them all. I still get creped out when I walk past the cemetery just up the street from me. The mall when it is empty also freaks me out a bit. Hey, you never know when a Zombie apocalypse will happen.
Anyways back to the 'Walking Dead', these zombies also walk in groups but occasionally you will find them walking alone.
When the series aired its Finale show, six million people watched it on December 5, 2010 according to a page on the TV by the numbers website. The success of the show, earned it several nominations to the big awards such as 'The Best Television Series' for drama at the 'Golden Globes. When the Writer's Guild of America announced its winners on December 8, 2010, this show was honored with 'Best New series'. This show was nominated and won several awards its first year out.
What will season two of 'The Walking Dead' reveal? Will it tie up any of the loose ends of last season? Will Merle ever return? What happened to Morgan and his son Duane who rescued Rick in the first show of episode 1 last season?
The second season holds a lot of promise to be a favorite show among millions, based on last year's success. Does it have the staying power it needs to remain in the lineup for more seasons? I am predicting yes, based on the zombie craze now sweeping the nation.
