woooooo best show ever

At least in the top few. I'm not sure if it's better than Dexter, but it's pretty darn close.

[Erik88]

awesome! Hopefully they will have morn that 6 episodes this time

[Magiccarpetrides]

awesome thanks for the heads up!

[dou44]

i hope to see more guns and a lot more killing.

[Guest Octo]

I am excited. I am also hoping for more than just six episodes. Rather irritating, that.

[TN Outlaw]

i always wondered why they didn't use those tanks and weapons the military had in the city myself

[Hershmeister]

Awesome! Amc must be pushing it up due to the delay in mad men.

[Transplanted Hoosier]

I am looking forward to it. Hopefully it will stay on Sunday nights.

The same reason there were only 6 episodes.... budget.

The 1st season was a feeler by AMC to see if there was a market for the show without spending too much money on it. Season 2 is reported to be a full season, which normally means between 20 and 25 episodes.

Second season is 13 episodes.

Announced last year.

I can't wait either, 13 episodes of awesome. Btw. The "sent from my Etch a Sketch". Awesome!

[monkeylizard]

I was hoping for the full 20-25. Oh well. I'll take 13 over 0 any day.

12-13 seems to be pretty average for cable networks. Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, Justified, Nurse Jackie, Californication, whatever.

Think about it this way - do you think the average person could just pick up a military weapon or jump in a military vehicle and know how to operate it well enough and quickly enough to kill/escape from a horde of zombies or outrun a huge explosion intended to completely vaporize everything in the CDC? That is, if the keys happen to still be in the ignition? Me, if I had time to mess around with the new gear and learn to use it then that might be one thing but if I am running for my life, I'm jumping in the vehicle to which I already have keys and already know how to operate and I am depending on the weapon I already know how to use. As for using the weapons, Rick and Shane aren't SWAT team members - they are country deputies in a town that doesn't even seem to have a SWAT team (based on the first scene where the black and whites are set up in a road block) - and there is no indication that the rest of the survivors have even as much firearms knowledge/experience as they have.

Keep in mind, too, that all that gear didn't save the original owners/operators.

Thanks for this post. Best news I've had today. Wasn't exactly a memorable day, but hey, still good news.....

[dou44]

virus killed most of them off.any one with half a brain could pick up a m16 and fire it.most of the vehicle's have a switch to turn on and no key. now the average person could not get into a tank and drive it.

July can't come fast enough!

Interesting. The average person probably doesn't know that, though. I didn't, so I'd still have gone with the vehicle for which I had the keys.

I am surely looking forward to the second season, though! My wife wouldn't even think about watching anything zombie-related until this show 'sucked her in'. She has since watched 'Night of the Living Dead' (the original) and one or two other 'zombie' type movies with me.

if the zombies killed all the soldiers i would expect the vehicles to still have the keys in them ..... although this is a tv series and it would have been to easy if they used the military vehicles

For the sake of arguement...what if the former military, now zombies retained some memories and continued using their weapons, now that would suck
