The Walking Dead

Story by:  Léon DeGrelle


What can I really say about it, but, WOW!!!!  And this was just the beginning from AMC.  It's expected that 6 episodes will also follow it's triumphant and even, unexpected showing of 5.3 million viewers, and also making it the most widely viewed cable series in 2010, and AMC's highest rated original series as well.  The show has a high promise value that it will stay for a while since there is already a season 2 in the works as well.  The story revolves mainly on Rick Grimes, who's a small town sheriff in Georgia.  He is shot multiple times, in a freak shooting that leaves him comatose for a while......the actually time is not given, but awakens to find himself in a hospital bed, abandoned and in a disarray after an unknown freak phenomenon that makes the dead come alive again and in desperate need of fresh meat for nourishment.  He finds his home to be abandoned, his town is dead and no one in sight.  Until he returns to his neighborhood and finds everyone gone, until running into Morgan Jones and his son Duane, who managed to escape the zombie invasion.  Though each Rick, nor Morgan give much insight into their pasts, but manage to find common ground on what to do, on for a short amount of time until the go their separate ways.  But one thing the Morgan doesn't tell Rick, is that Morgan's wife is a zombie and couldn't find himself to shoot his former love.
Rick believing that his wife and son is still alive, he sets forth to find them in the overrun city of Atlanta Georgia.  Despite Ricks calls on Radio, his message is heard, but the small band of survivors are unable to respond, because their radio receiver is busted and cannot respond.  Among the survivors, are Shane Walsh, his best friend and his wife and son.  And what makes things worse, Shane has already started a romance with Lori (Rick's Wife) and the band of survivors unable to warn Rick that Atlanta is a hotspot for undead activity.

A Zombie that looks like a cross between Jim Carrey and Kevin Bacon, makes an appearance
