Rick Grimes races towards the farm in The Walking Dead Season 2's promo art.

When it first debuted on AMC last year, The Walking Dead was an immediate, record-smashing success.  AMC promptly renewed the series for a second season after only the second episode.  Now, two episodes into season two, AMC is repeating the past by giving The Walking Dead a green light once more.  AMC has renewed The Walking Dead for a third season.  The key, as always, has been the show’s incredible ratings.

“Today we are pleased to announce that the ‘dead’ shall live as we proudly renew The Walking Dead for a third season on AMC and, globally, with our terrific partners at Fox International Channels,” said AMC president Charlie Collier.  “We are thankful for everyone’s contribution in front of and behind the camera as we continue to make The Walking Dead a unique television experience.  And, we are so proud as it continues to set viewership records around the world.”

When show runner Frank Darabont left, I was worried for TWD‘s future quality, but so far?  This season has been as good, or better, than the first.  New show head Glen Mazzara has completely reassured me, and we’re only two shows into the new season.  The new characters have been introduced, and now it’s time for things to shake out as they should given the propensity for zombie mayhem on the series.

It looks as though The Dead will be Walking for seasons to come.  I, for one, welcome our new zombie TV overlords.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
