Can't believe we're still six months off from the new series...

The first season of TWD was actually released faster than most AMC shows. Generally they don't release the previous season on DVD until just before the premiere of the new season. So in that case.....you probably have one and half to two years wait. Hmmm, that makes me ponder yet further that there may be a "special edition" release of the box set before the 2nd season rolls around later this year. The Buck Rogers parody? Classic! Aye that's the hammer. A classic indeed.

They released the bare bones edition as quick as possible because it was only six episodes and to cash in on the show's enormous success, while the real meaty edition will be released before Season Two. With six months to go, hopefully we'll get some sort of confirmation on that. I will be seriously disappointed if they don't. All of AMC's other shows get multiple commentaries per episode, thorough documentaries, the whole works. And I've really enjoyed Darabon't past commentaries, so fingers crossed.

I'm certainly hoping so! *fingers crossed* Because that I will buy.

hehe, I recall a double episode of South Park where Eric couldn't wait a couple of weeks for the new Nintendo Wii, so he froze himself, but he woke up in the future instead - and when he got back to South Park, it ended up being a longer wait for him. Oh yeah I remember that one, it was a good episode. The one I don't think I'll ever forget is, I think like where Stan's father has to take a big shit, and they compare it to Bono's or something? And then you got the one where Cartman's hating ginger kids and goes psycho Hitler. The first season of TWD was actually released faster than most AMC shows.

Don't even talk like that. I hope your joking, and if you are that's cruel bro. Your fucking with me right? 2 years? Not even!

I just still can't believe there's a zombie TV series.

Awwwww hell no! Don't even talk like that. I hope your joking, and if you are that's cruel bro. Your fucking with me right? 2 years? Not even! I'm afraid im not. Assuming they stick to the usual schedule, Season Three will start sometime around Halloween 2012, so you can expect the Season Two dvd set around that time as well. About 1.5 years from now... ---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ---------- I just still can't believe there's a zombie TV series. It is a great thing. Something we've talked and dreamed about around here for years. Of course Dead Set came before, but I think TWD is more in line with what most of us Romero fans wanted.

I just still can't believe there's a zombie TV series. Indeed!!! http://www.homepageofthedead.com/films/tv/main.html ^^ Would love to know what tripped this/these up!

I enjoyed Dead Set, but it was just like a long movie done in episodic form. It was an interesting idea, and it had some really cool moments - but it had runners in it, the camera shaked all over the place, it was too dark sometimes, and the director had absolutely zero interest in zombie films (as I was disappointed to find out on the DVD extras). It was still a good show/tv movie, with a good central idea from writer Charlie Brooker, but it was certainly not perfect. The Walking Dead, on the other hand, is exactly what I was after in terms of a televised zombie apocalypse - with shamblers no less ... or, indeed, "Hinzman Hobblers".

6 months is way too long to wait. I want it back NOW!

[bassman]

It could have been longer than one year. The new seasons of both Breaking Bad and Mad Men have been pushed back by several months. Hell....I think Mad Men was pushed all the way back to next year when it should have started this summer/fall?

I'm old. Six months will go by in a blink of an eye so I'm not worrying. Brought TWD blu ray to camp with me this weekend. The weather sucked so I watched it all in one sitting. I think I've watched the full season about six times already. I need to get a life!! If anything, in six months, I'll have the first season entirely memorized.
