If you're a comic book or horror-movie fan, or if you watch any show on AMC, then you know what's on tonight, and you probably already have plans to stay in. It's the first episode of The Walking Dead, based on the comic book about the remnants of humanity struggling to survive in a zombie-infested world, and it's AMC's latest attempt to conquer television. After all, Mad Men and Breaking Bad are both critically lauded, and while the new title lacks the alliteration of the other two, the producers seem to be aiming for the bleachers in terms of production values. Could we see a clip of people fighting zombies at the next Emmy ceremony? Here's hoping.
