I wonder if the second season will have more than six episodes.
Very good news, didn't know that this season is only 6 episodes, bummer
Breaking Bad only had a seven episode season one followed by two thirteen episode seasons. Here's hoping Walking Dead is given the same consideration.
wow, fantastic news, i LOVE this show!
It was picked up for 13 episodes for season 2
Yay! Love this show!
Great TV Show! Great Cast! Excellent idea for casting Norman Reedus as one of the Dixon brothers. Norman is a great actor and brings alot of "bad boy" integrity to the show. Please don't lose Norman!!!!
