I love The Walking Dead! I have seen every episode. I can't wait for the new season to start.
It's sooo lame that the first season only has six episodes! What's up with that?!


Some of the cable channels follow a more BBC approach to television. Instead of commiting to what Americans consider a season (15-25 shows), the average British or Canadian season is 13 episodes, with shows like the The Walking Dead, more adult, shown later in the evening, usually running 6 episodes. For those series that address a smaller niche, like the new Sherlock, they only do three episodes, but usually those episodes are 90 minutes long.
This format is much cheaper. Start expecting more cable networks to start following the BBC soon.
Hey Brandy, good to know! I was wondering about that because I used to watch Being Human on BBC and the seasons were super short. Ha now I know why!
I really like The Walking Dead though, even if it is so short.
@Nichola: I haven't read the comics but I've heard good things about them :) Are they cool?

Me too! There was a marathon of all the episodes on a few nights ago, and let's just say I was a goner from that point haha. I'm now hopelessly addicted!
