Improve a television show by adding Zombies....

Mythbusters.

No more Buster, ballistic gel or pig parts needed.

Of course, The Simpsons did perhaps one of the best zombie-related shows of all time in the Halloween short “Dial Z for Zombie.” “Is this the end of zombie Shakespeare?”

As for shows that would be improved with zombies, why not Survivor? Each week, the losing contestant is killed. The remaining castaways must survive both the elements and their zombie ex-comrades.

Now THAT is a show.

Instead of being votged off, they get zombified and stay on the island.

Anyone got any connections to the major networks?

The O.C.: The dead Marissa (Mischa Barton) comes back…as a zombie! She’s finally hungry…for BRAINS!!

On Dallas, the zombie Patrick Ewing is found in the shower…

No, wait… :confused:

Nobody’s mentioned “Six Feet Under?” Weird. :slight_smile:

I’ve often thought Saturday Night Live would be completely revitalized by adding a few zombies to the show.

Ashlee Simpson tries to lip sync? Eat her.

Another tired episode of “Appalachian ER”? Eat the entire cast.

Hell, just attack everything and everyone after Weekend Update and make the entire last 45 minutes a question of who will live to perform another week. That’s television worth watching.

In Sanford and Son, zombie Lamont takes a bite out of best friend Rollo and Fred invents a new nickname for the pair: Rollo and Swallow.

Lost: a whole horde of zombies eat everybody on the island, all the extracurricular homework assignments viewers have to do, the island itself, and finally themselves putting an end once and for all to the endless questions that the writers don’t seem to be able, or willing, to answer.

All in the Family: At first, Archie refuses to accept the smelly, rotting zombie family that’s moved into the old Jefferson place and just makes a bunch of racist comments that gets son-in-law Mike angry. Mike quotes from the U.S. Constitution in his History textbook defending the rights of the recently dead and Archie disagrees by giving him a raspberry and calling him a “pinko.” Archie changes his tune when he learns that the zombies are big contributors to the Republican party and so he invites them to have dinner with him. The laugh is on him though when he finds out that, before the family died, they were Jewish.

Three’s Company: instead of Larry asking Jack to loan him fifty dollars, he chews off the lower part of his face.

The Apprentice, or whatever the hell that Donald Trump show is. Zombies barge into a board meeting, eat everyone’s brains, a la Dogma, only gorier. Fade to black, season finale, show finale. That would be good. :smiley:

The return of Howard Cosell to Monday Night Football. I can see two possible outcomes of this, each funny in its own way:

Scenario #1: H.C. is just as mute, dumb, and single-mindedly homicidal as any other zombie, Romero-ish or otherwise. The announcers’ booth will become splattered with blood…

Scenario #2: H.C. breaks the time-honored zombie-inarticulacy barrier, and even though he’s partly decomposed, he still manages to be the most intelligent and articulate guy in the booth – in a sad, somber commentary on the state of NFL televised coverage… :smiley:

For some reason, I imagine Howard speaking in his trademark voice with great aplomb, but with the infliction of Frankenstein’s Monster or the Incredible Hulk. “This Howard Cosell. Tonight, Grey Packers play Chico Bears. Braarve having good season so far, lead league in passing.” (Zombie Cosell is unable to pronounce long city names and people’s names correctly other than his own, such as “Green Bay,” “Chicago,” and “Brett Farve.”)

Space, the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
Her five year mission to explore strange new worlds.
To seek out new life and new civilizations…

… and eat their braaaaaains

just don’t mention Spock’s braaaaaaaain

Captain’s Log: Stardate 6602.2: The Enterprise has intercepted an automated Priority One distress call from the Federation colony on Gamma Draconis III. Upon beaming down, our landing party discovered the colony in ruins, its inhabitants seemingly torn apart by some unknown beings. There appear to be no survivors…

MCCOY: Dear god, Jim… as nearly as I can tell, these people were literally eaten alive! Even the Klingons aren’t this brutal.

KIRK: Mister Spock-- any theories?

SPOCK: Starfleet has so far encountered no aggressive spacefaring cultures in this sector. There are also no records of any predatory species native to Gamma Draconis that could have overcome the entire colony in this fashion.

MCCOY: Dammit, Spock! These people didn’t do this to themselves!

SPOCK: Indeed, Doctor; logic therefore suggests the presence of a previously unknown life form. However, tricorder readings currently detect no life signs anywhere in the colony.

KIRK: So far all we know is what couldn’t have killed them. We need answers, gentlemen. Bones, keep examining the colonists’ remains; that might give us a better idea of what we’re up against. Spock, you and I will review the colony’s most recent log entries. Crewman Shirt, you check out that empty building over there.

SHIRT: Aye Captain.

A zombie episode of **The Addams Family ** seems oddly appropriate, but for the life of me, I can’t think of what the hook would be. It’d have to be properly twisted and counterintuitive, though; maybe they’d have to barricade the mansion to keep the panicked normals from breaking in and shooting Lurch by mistake. And then that two-headed sea turtle could go on a taxidermied undead rampage. Or something.

I’d say Fox News, but it’s pretty well zombified already.

Everyone besides the Addams family are zombies, and they for the life of them can’t figure out what’s going on- they think they’re trying to mimic the Addamses’ unique way of life by eating other peoples’ brains. It’s altogether ooky.

Mr. Roger’s Neightborhood. Mr R blowing the fuck outta zombies woulda been the sweetest tv show for any kid.

The View. Only Elisabeth survives.

Damn, but that would actually make a great show! If the dead turned into zombies if not immediately decapitated after death, adding an extra law enforcement problem to homicides.

Next episode on Smallville, due to a tragic unforeseen circumstance, Lana Lang falls deathly ill…

No, you mean the zombie Bobby Ewing, as played by zombified Patrick Duffy. The zombie Patrick Ewing played for the Knicks. :wink:
