This show isn't going anywhere. Get used to it. |

Fanboys need to stop tearing down those who excel and learn from them. So the Big Bang Theory is a humongous hit, don't try to get it cancelled, learn. So people love those shitty ass RE movies. Don't try to get them taken out, learn. Kirkman found a premise that can be transformed in to any kind of merchandise they can think up, and he's collecting. AMC is going to cling to this show for dear life and ride it until it's lost its appeal because the show brings in monstrous ratings. The marathons bring in huge ratings, the premieres bring in huge ratings, they were gone for a year and when they came back the viewers still came to watch. The show is bigger than Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and Hell on Wheels combined. Either suck it up and look for something else to enjoy, or go along for the ride. I love the show. I can't wait to continue watching it. More power to him. |

Jesus Christ. Terminal, how's the view from between Kirkman's legs? :lol:

Re: Another "Walking Dead" showrunner steps down
He makes a good point though, we're so quick to blast someone because of their success. Kirkman seems like biggest douche in the world but what did we expect...he's a comic book writer. :lol:

Re: Another "Walking Dead" showrunner steps down
If we're tossing out names, how about Jonathan Steinberg? He did the fantastic first season of Human Target and cult fave Jericho. Not sure why he came to mind, but if we got him then maybe we could get Mark Valley to join the cast, which is always a plus. :)
Mazzara: “My time as showrunner on The Walking Dead has been an amazing experience, but after I finish season 3, it’s time to move on. I have told the stories I wanted to tell and connected with our fans on a level that I never imagined. It doesn’t get much better than that. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey.” |

Already employed. Showrunner for new Starz series called "Black Sails" Valley is also employed as well. Series regular on ABC show Body of Proof. :lol: As I said earlier, not too many good unemployed TV showrunners lying around. |

Many shows hit lulls or bumps in the road that get corrected. If it were not for the much better pacing of season three, I think many viewers would have given up on The Walking Dead after its dull second season. |
Re: Another "Walking Dead" showrunner steps down
Black Sails sounds interesting, 20 years before Treasure Island, John Silver before he was long and Flint. I hope Bay reigns it in though.

I do like other shows besides Dexter though. I am sort of picky about what I watch though. I tend to not watch a lot of network stuff aside from The Simpsons and The Big Bang Theory. I'm more into cable (particularly premium channel) series. Breaking Bad is actually probably my favorite show on the air truthfully. I also really enjoy Mad Men a lot. Some of the HBO shows are pretty decent too like The Newsroom, Boardwalk Empire, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Girls. |

Re: Another "Walking Dead" showrunner steps down
I'm always surprised by how much of a dud people think the second season is. The chief problem with it is that for much of the season, Darabont paced it like a very long movie with things being doled out at a slower pace than television really allows because the weeklong breaks destroy any momentum. However, watching it back on Blu at home, I don't find it dull at all and really quite like it. Yeah, it has problems, but it plays so much better without those breaks.

To me the whole zombie thing is kind of overdone now anyways and has been done better tons of times over with Romero films and Romero knock off films. :shrug: The only reason I was thinking of going back to it is because a lot of shows I watch are ending soon.
That said, I think the Walking Dead (comics and TV show) are one of the better zombie stories out there. |

Sounds like Darabont shouldn't be a major reason then, since he was a part of the slow start to Season 2.

Darabont may have not been a strong reason for me to stay either if the quality stayed at what it was/is but him leaving wasn't exactly something I was keen on either. Especially since it seemed like AMC let him go for pretty petty reasons when he gave them a huge hit. Kind of like someone else mentioned it seems almost like AMC thinks the show is so big that it doesn't matter who they let go as long as they keep it on the air. |

I just did a marathon run of seasons 1 and 2, and liked 'em plenty. I can't wait 'til season 3 is released on BD to plow through that as well. But the show isn't the second coming. |
Re: Another "Walking Dead" showrunner steps down
At least last time Mazzarra was under Darabont so they had someone to fill the void. This time they'll have to get someone from the outside. I'm sure David Simon could somehow make this story about the vestiges of civilization into some sort of political tract :p.
