Absolutely, I'm sure that some folks are in regions where its being aired, no problem with that, just be respectful that a .co.uk website is "based" in a region where something might not of aired. Rules are rules and all that

That's a small minority as opposed to a vast majority.

nielsen ratings style systems.
so many people consent to having a monitor put in, but out of the 100 million + Americans that's only 25 thousand, while others are given diaries to record what was watched and by who.
Can you imagine just how much of the spectrum would be taken up if everyone's Tv had to transmit via radio waves exactly what it was watching?
They take a sample size and then extrapolate, like "69% of Britons say x studies.
digital TV stations cant tell how many people are watching what channel? sky , virgin media dont know what there customers are watching?
not unless you've got it hooked up to the internet/via cable and even then it's unlikely they'd bother as they'd have to say "do you mind if we record all data on what you watch"
You'd have to have a transmitter in every box and every tv transmitting the data back, would be a horrific mess.
it's just done on surveys and extrapolated.
The fact the walking dead is being released in sweeps week in america means they're expecting it to do very well, as sweeps weeks are what the main cost of advert space is done from.

This is gonna be a great show, i love zombie movies and always wondered if a tv show would come out based on a zombie apocalypse. I just hope it lasts longer than 1 season.
this is really annoying me all the yanky kids say that 28 days later copied the walking dead hospital scene WRONG WRONG WRONG 28 days was released in 2002 were as the walking dead comic was first published late 2003, granted a lot of books and films have characters waking up in beds after events with changes happening ie the day of the triffids but the annoying whiney yanks are just that annoying
I had always assumed that the hospital wake up scene in 28 days was a direct homage to the hospital wake up scene in day of the triffids anyway.
yup i think Mr Boyle has said that before as well as another scene cant remember which
At least look at ONE page to see if things have been posted = #100
.
this looks lame
remember harpers island? that was good. it was all the same, murder, island, people being picked off, but its the 'whodunnit' that keeps you watching.
whats special about this? its just gonna be a long drawn out movie.
a resident evil tv show
without the glamour
lame

I have not read the thread at all - just thought I would pop in to say that Robert Kirkman's comic series "The Walking Dead" is probably one of the best written and drawn series in a decade or so, and just on the strength of it, I am willing to give this TV adaptation one season for no other reason than that.

Harper's island was one of the most Dog **** shows I've seen from the American networks.
This immediately negates your opinion on a TV show that is a) a highly acclaimed Graphic Novel adaption and B) created by Frank Darabont
Comparing the Walking Dead to Resident Evil is like comparing Lost to Home & Away.
The Resident Evil movies have no substance, just bigsplosions, big splosions, somebody gets bitten, bigsplosions.
The Walking Dead is a piece on how a post apocalyptic world infested with zombies affects the relationships between people and their ability to cope psychologically and how this effects their humanity.
