To be fair, iZombie was already taken. And is a better idea for a show.
The Toking Dead.
What about The Dead Walkers or The Deading Walk?
The Grateful Walking Dead?
The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies … oh, wait, that’s been taken.
How about Night of the Walking Dead?
Sorry, I have to link to a thread I started years ago:
And I agree, Fear the Walking Dead is horrible. But maybe that’s just the working title. I fear that shooting in LdotAdot (for the people who are particular) will make it less gritty.
How about Better Call Rick [or Carol or Daryl]?
How about The Driving Dead, because not even undeath is going to make Angelenos walk everywhere.
I can KIND of understand why. They wanted to make sure that we, the public, would draw the conclusion that the two shows were linked and took place in the same universe. As opposed to all those OTHER TV shows about zombies… I think there’s one on SyFy, isn’t there?
Coulda been worse. “Walking Dead: Los Angeles.” Which I guess is slightly better than “Walking Dead: Special Victims Unit,” or whatever.
And despite the silly title, I’m curious to see it. In the original series and graphic novel alike, we join the action in media res as Rick awakes, a month into the zombie apocalypse. Hell, half the first issue is just Rick trying to get out of the hospital with a zombie horde in hot pursuit.
FTWD is promising to walk us through the opening days of Kirkman’s zombie apocalypse. Will he do cool stuff with it, or will it come across like yet another SyFy Original Movie?
Guess we’ll find out.
Walking Dead: The Next Generation.
I like that one, but regrettably, it is inaccurate; the creators have announced that it will happen more or less in the same timeframe and universe as its parent show.“”
I expect they’ll spend the first season ripping LA apart, and then have a time jump to get them caught up with TWD.
I wonder if the two show’s will ever crossover? Could people in LA make it to DC? I don’t see why not. If it were me, I’d be tempted to make my way to a Caribbean island or something.
I would think about Florida and an island.
It’s been established that six seconds of TWD footage will be cameoing in FTWD. I’m betting that the Bombing of Atlanta will be shown on TV during the time before LA comes completely apart.
Aside from that, I’d bet no one has planned any crossovers yet.
Florida’s crazy and violent enough WITHOUT zombies. I don’t even wanna think about what it’d be like without cops and with zombies…
The ten second ad they showed last night confirms the rumors: it is set very early in the Apocalypse. Strange news stories of a “flu” on the radio etc. I like it! Not even the comics touched this territory. It could make for a good show.
Then Mississippi or Louisiana. An island could be dezombiefied.
So, The Waking Dead?
Hey, you gotta crawling before you can walking.
