Looking forward to it. It could really work well as a tv series, and from what I can gather most of the AMC series have been pretty well regarded and successful, so I'm optimistic.
Breaking Bad is one of the best shows currently on television and Mad Men is supposedly fantastic, though I could never really get into it.

I'm fairly excited for it on the simple basis that a show about zombies hasn't really come to the small screen in recent memory, so it'll be different than some of the drivel they have on now. I'm also excited to see that Darabont (Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption) is one of the driving forces behind the creation of the show, as that gives it a little more push behind it. I'm still wary of the fact that it is a television show rather than a miniseries, but that's the same with the majority of shows that I watch.
