AMC premiered its series adaptation of the graphic novel The Walking Dead
. While I've never been read a single volume of the graphic novel series, I am a fan of most things zombies (I can live without the remake
of Day of the Dead
). I suppose, in a way, it's best that I've distance myself from the graphic novels. In many ways, prior knowledge might been damaging to my enjoyment of the television series. For example, I might have been more of a fan toward Rizzoli and Isles
had I not picked up The Apprentice
(or The Surgeon
, for that matter) before viewing the television series. Or, I might have disliked Dexter
had I picked up the first novel
- which I've read is poorly constructed.

AMC has a recent history of popping out great TV shows like Mad Men
, Rubicon and Breaking Bad
. None of these, however, have been able to keep my attention. Well, except for Mad Men but I never gave it a chance. Here's hoping for something good. Until next time, keep on huntin'.
