Letter to ‘Walking Dead’ producers

Dear Sir:

As regards your Walking Dead show, a couple of weeks ago when the show went into the whole cannibalism thing, we said, “that’s enough, we’re done.”

We had noticed that it was supposed to be 4 or 5 years for the characters from when the thing started, and in all that time the best the human race can do is  ‘hand to mouth’ existence? Wandering aimlessly around being scavengers? That’s all you got?

Every week it was, “Hey, let’s stick zombie’s in the head and break into an abandoned store!” Let’s not restart civilization and rebuild, let’s live like cavemen from now on!

4 years and all you can come up with is the wandering nomad bit? And now cannibalism? That is a lack of imagination and not very inspiring for the human race. France would be a basket case, but this is America, we don’t do that crap here. Your show sucks.

[BTW, with all the guns in America, those zombies would have been gone in a week. Especially in Georgia where the show is set. They would have looked like Swiss cheese. Good grief.]

(And what about shampoo? For God’s sake, do we throw away good grooming just because of a zombie apocalypse? That picture above is cleaned up, the people on the show look worse than homeless people. Let’s face it, Baywatch had ‘curb appeal’. Next time you break into a store, grab some Prell.)

{And besides, how do you make a post apocalyptic show boring?? I grew up on them, the original Planet of the Apes, The Day After, Red Dawn. How do you turn that genre into Bores-ville? It’s like time travel, war movies and the Swedish bikini team, how do you possibly make that boring? Your writing staff has to be dumber than a box of rocks.}
