Granted, I’ve never missed a show in the 2+ seasons it’s been on the air. Actually look forward to it. But why? Almost every episode seems either slow as shit or is a complete cock-tease and a half, which I guess is a good thing cause it keeps people coming back. I’ve never read the comics and realize that there are some die-hard people out there who live and die by comparing the show to the comic book. Ironically those are the same few people who have the honor to say they have once jerked off while wearing Spock ears, but regardless I don’t think you need to have read the comics to enjoy the show. It’s a decent series to say the least, but is it actually that good? It’s nothing compared to other AMC stalwarts like Mad Men and Breaking Bad, but then again it’s a completely different genre. Plus the zombie craze is definitely getting old overall. Hipsters stole the zombie and made it part of their non-mainstream rape kit and still think it’s unique.
Basically what I’m getting at is what the headline asks, “Is ‘The Walking Dead’ Really That Good Or Is It The Worst Show That Everyone Can’t Stop Watching?”
Vote 1 for it’s a good show, just leave it at that and 10 for I’d rather have my nuts dangle in front of a herd than miss an episode.

PS – Kill Carl. And the women. All of them. Make it the Rick, Darrell, the Asian kid (maybe) and T-Dawg survival show and you’ve got yourself a goddamn TV series.

shut the fuck up smitty and just watch it.
nah its dope. tarrantino-ing and shit? fuckin keyser soze?
better watch out smitty – Sales guy is going to have ur ass for bashing his client
and people come at Neil for bad blogs…..fuck outta here with this shit
Serious? Highest rated show in cable HISTORY!!! nuff said.
dballz did you read the fucking post or even the title? He covered the fact that everyone watches it, he’s asking if you think its actually good.
I will agree with its the worst show no one will stop watching because…. zombies. Season 3 has been fine, but back in season 2 I stopped watching, every episode’s action was based purely on the humans making completely moronic decisions that led to trouble. In a zombie apocalypse you shouldn’t need to rely on your characters being total idiots to create the plot of the show, you can have zombies come out of every corner for some action
When you can get chicks who hate horror/gore TV shows & movies to get excited on Sunday b/c of the Walking Dead… they have done something right. You think b/c it has become so popular in it’s 3rd season that you are too cool for it now & want to stake claim to being different before the show turns out a few bad episodes, if ever. STFU!
Smitty, thank you. The writing on this show is 100% abysmal. Just plain terrible. I also hate all of the characters of the original group except for Glenn, Maggie, Darrell, and T-Dawg. Definitely rooting for the zombies every episode.
The Grimes family sucks crusty nutsack.
Still watch, but I thought the definitive “jump the shark” moment was when the dude basically pulled a Rambo and wiped out 20 US military dudes armed to the tits with a handgun and 5 scrubs in the bushes.
great show
show is great…but like many shows watching it week to week with commercials kinda ruins it…I waited till season 2 was on netflix and then crushed it in 3 days…loved it…but I can see how watching all that farmhouse shit every week would make it seem like nothing is happening…but when you watch it 4 episodes at a time it moves pretty quick…DVRing season 3 and will marathon that when it’s over…week to week is for the birds
apart from the fact that I have no idea who Smitty is, I actually agree with her. i just watched all the episodes in the last two weeks and it’s a fine show. i will continue to watch it. but i was never dying to watch the next episode. it’s actually kind of tedious to get through one. and, most importantly, it doesn’t even hold a candle to breaking bad or mad men, regardless of the ratings it gets from socially inept nerds.
no, the worst show that everyone kept watching was definitely Entourage.
20 military dudes? learn how to count… if thats your rambo moment you need to watch al the rambo again, the military dudes didn’t realize the guy was a pyschopath and put down their guns seems quite reasonable to me
Hit the nail on the head Smitty. I keep watching and I have no idea why. I think the surest sign of a horrible television show is when you want every single character dead, and that’s what The Walking Dead has become.
Hint to make this show more bearable. Anytime the main characters wife is talking (prego chick) fast forward til she is off the screen. Total waste of time from day 1. I have done this since day 2 and it cuts out 20 minutes of nothingness per episode…blap
show is not good..but what else are you going to watch on sundays? boardwalk is meh (although it’s getting better) and sunday night football games always blow.
last weeks episode can suck my dick
I still enjoy and watch the show but I can kinda see what you are saying. Season 2 was super slow and just every episode kinda was a cocktease where nothing really happened but you expected a lot of shit to happen. The women on this show are almost unbearable to watch (Lori especially) and their stupid decisions are kinda getting old but its still entertaining regardless.
next episode the old guy’s daughter gets railed in a cell by the asian dude and a walker
show sucks…only good characters are daryl, evil shane, and merle.
not sure why i continue to watch in anger and displeasure…but looking forward to sunday
The first two episodes of this season were by far the best. Just so much zombie killing. Season 2 was kinda slow…but still good.
We wait for it every week! I didn’t like the whole military shooting thing but hey, the show is based off of a graphic novel guys!
P.S. I can’t wait to see Michonne just go fucking ham on everyone in that little utopia…I can feel it coming.
P.P.S. Darryl is the best character. He should be in every scene. Meryl’s hand sword freaks me out.
I watched the first episode, and i barely got through it. Tried the second one, and it was too slow. Dexter’s first episode came out with a bang! I just cant get into Walking Dead. Too slow moving.
I hope this season they reveal who keeps mowing everyone’s lawns. They have to give us that at least.
Season 2 had some of the all-time worst writing. There was a fall-out with the show creator and AMC, and the whole writing team from the first season was fired. They used no-name nobody’s for most of the second season and it showed. I haven’t read any of the comics, but from what I’ve gathered from skimming the plot summaries on Wiki, there were more than enough plot lines to work with. Everything that went down on the farm was jumpy and was flat out unbelievable. They were asking to suspend reality just way too much.
All that said, I am addicted. Like a car crash, I can’t look away.
haley, homeland is a pretty money show on sundays…at least for now
You think mad men is better than walking dead? Just lost your credibility …. And you say w.d. Is slow moving.. Sons of anarchy is tits
