"The group, traveling in a convoy, doubles-down on their mission to help survivors. In an effort to encourage more survivors to reach out, Al, Luciana, and Charlie document Morgan and the gang on a dangerous mission to help a reclusive survivor."
Please let me know if you would like on or off the FTWD ping list.
I thought the Walking Dead was a show about the Democrat voter.
No, that show is The Voting Dead.
Please just let it die......
No kidding. I watched about 20 minutes and changed to Life, Liberty, and Levin. Ever since those two young producers - Chambliss and the other one who looks like a Heinrich Himmler clone - took over that show is going downhill FAST. It was off for three weeks and I realized tonight I have better things to do/watch.
Meet Ian B. Goldberg:
I think I saw the other show runner, Chambliss, on "Talking Dead."
Goldberg I don't know.
According to Wiki, Fear The Walking Dead was renewed for a sixth season just a couple weeks ago.
I actually like the central cast of "Fear" more than the cast for "The Walking Dead."
Victor Strand is probably my favorite character from both shows (except when he kisses other men). "Fear" also has Morgan, whom I have always liked, and the Texas six-shooter guy, and according to Wiki, they are bringing back Daniel Salazar, whom I always liked, too.
The Walking Dead has Daryl and Carol, who are completely unique characters.
I feel like both shows need a major leading character. Now that Rick and Madison are both gone, neither group has a compelling leader.
Wiki only has the TV ratings from the first "Fear" episode back in June - not good - less than 2 million.
I'm surprised it got renewed.
Wow, what a wet blanket episode. It was so boring I checked out in the middle for awhile and took until now to post a comment. Are they trying to kill the ratings?
I am a nice guy. And during an apocalypse I would try to be as generous as I could.
But damn, if my little crew found a warehouse full of food and other equipment, I don’t think I would be out and about trying to walk through minefields to “help” people. Not unless I knew those people had a skill that would help us.
And really...minefields? Did one of the millennial writers just watch a WWII movie? Or did he read about IEDs from Iraq?
I am growing tired of this world. And the “mother show?” Walking Dead started sucking when they started emasculating the men, and letting the world become an Amazon paradise—where the men, once in a while, are allowed to contribute.
And now they are going to make one about teenagers surviving?
Give me break....
2 million for a summer show on cable is actually pretty good. The real Sunday night numbers start showing up in October when the TVs get turned to WD after football.
Even good shows have weak episodes, especially as the premise of the show gets exhausted. The attraction of the Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead is strong, memorable characters at odds with each other in a novel environment filled with existential menace. Do it though for years upon years and the novelty wears off and the quality of the writing declines.
Re: 2 million for a summer show on cable is actually pretty good.
True, but not for “Fear.” The first show of the season is always their best number for the year.
In August 2015 it got 10 million.
Season average has dropped from 7.6 million (2015) to 2.27 million (2018).
They will definitely finish the 2019 season under 2 million.
I think the show has never really caught on to itself.
It all seems forced too much. They always say it’s a show about people, not zombies. Except it’s hard to care about any of them. Except Daniel. And he’s gone soft now, too.
I didn’t realize Daniel came back in the first episode this season.
I have only watched 10-15 minutes of each episode this year before switching to something new.
