Looks like AMC, for some reason, has decided to cut the budget a bit. This makes no sense... The show destroyed everything that has ever been on AMC, in terms of any rating category. It more than likely has more viewers than all the other AMC dramas combined. It set records for target demographics.
Oh well. Things not looking quite as good as they once were.
Short, but good read:

Hopefully they back off. This show needs a good sized budget just to pay all the extras and for all the makeup. :)
Ugh this is good stuff
Awesome show!
@timoerlemans Ah, yes. That's what i meant. Sorry.
@Twylight The Walking Dead airs on AMC, not on HBO.
@lorro 6 episodes is the regular amount for new shows on HBO. The next season will probably have 13 episodes.
why is the season so extremely short? 6 episodes, what a joke :)
@droes I don't know of anything _perfectly_ similar, but for a post-apocalyptic drama minus zombies you could check out the show "Jericho" with Skeet Ulrich on DVD. Maybe the films "Outbreak" and "I Am Legend", mixed in a blender together...
Also, The Walking Dead has been a long running comic, you can try buying (or downloading on usenet) the comics. The show follows them pretty closely.
Loved the show. Could anyone point me to something similar to bridge the gap between the 2 seasons?
This show isn't too bad, but I'm a little bit disappointed by the lack of emotion. There is no depth in this show, even if the most centered characters would die, I wouldn't feel any emotion at all.
