This is very cool.

A little background: This blog site belongs to Brian over at MyMedia (I refer to him as the 'screencaps god' -- just ask and he will provide

). He was inspired by this guy named Ryan Ozawa who lives in Hawaii. Ryan used to seek out the various locations where 'Lost' filmed so that he could take photos there to share with other fans and provide some background info about them. So, since Brian lives in Georgia, very near Atlanta, he has decided it would be fun to do the same thing for TWD fans.

Walking Dead Locations

So, check it out! Neat stuff!

(P.S. - Hey IG, if you're reading this, please go read my reply to you on that other thread. I'm not mad at you! And I'm sorry if I made you feel bad.)

Hey Joolz! Yup, I'm following!

I did feel bad about the other thread, but I'm staying away from P&G! Thanks for understanding!

Your links have been a BLAST! Biker has done a lot of soundtrack work, so your links have been lots of fun!

I also caught Ryan's site with "Lost", and LOVED getting a heads up on where they where filming. Lord I miss that show! Now I'll look for Brian's stuff!

As an aside, our local Wal-Mart had a sale "Black Friday", $9.99 for several TV series, including "Sons"!

Now I'm off, the new "WD" starts in 5!

Give my best to Corvid!

So, what do you think SL?

I'm so careful about posting "spoilers", I'm waiting for other fans to check in first.

Ha! No, it's not exactly dinner theater material.

(Hey IG... I just started a thread for you and Biker... and any other Pirates who are SOA fans...

I caught my first episode last weekend and I really liked it. Unlike The Event which I saw it a few weeks in and it was good but I felt kind of lost in not knowing what was going on and therefore didn't really get grabbed into it. But this show right from the start of the episode caught my interest in the people in it.

Hi OMG! Glad to see you posting here.

Yeah, you got it. This really is an outstanding character-driven drama.

Season finale tonight, y'all!

They're running all six episodes today!

That might actually take Biker away from football!

The ratings for "The Walking Dead's" just-ended first season have been such that perhaps AMC is wishing that it had lasted more than just six weeks.

The anticipation for the season finale garnered six million viewers, according to the network, and it received the highest ratings of any basic cable show, ever, in the all-important 18-49 demographic.

To put those numbers into perspective, October's season finale of "Mad Men" had an audience of 2.44 million, according to TVbytheNumbers.com.

The big question is, now that the show has grown beyond its core fanbase, will the "Dead-heads" tune in once again next Halloween (the likely start date for season two), despite the long wait?

Oh boy they can't make us wait until next halloween

Joolz · Post by **Joolz** » 12-07-2010 03:36 PM

Oh yes... they want to launch Season 2 during their "FearFest" thing at Halloween again. So, yeah, we will have to wait.

One reason why we only got six episodes this season was because by the time the show was pitched to them and then greenlighted, there was only time to get six episodes in the can by the start of "FearFest." That's how important it is to them to start a show like this at that time.

I think it's dumb, but it is what it is.

That is an amazing rating, I don't think anybody expected that kind of success. I also wonder if it can hold interest and momentum for that long a wait.

I'm sure the DVD set will be out before then

Joolz · Post by **Joolz** » 12-07-2010 09:07 PM

Yep.

The DVDs and Blu-rays come out on March 8, 2011.

AMC will be airing all six episodes back-to-back starting at 8:00PM EST/PST on Tuesday, January 18th.

Those who haven't seen this show, but think they might like to see what all the buzz is about (the Golden Globes even nominated this show for best drama of the year), here's your chance. The whole thing will run til around 3:00AM, though, so unless you can record it, be prepared for a late night!
