In a culture where shows like Jersey Shore, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo engross TV viewers everywhere, it's important to acknowledge programming that engages audiences with clever writing and stimulating material. Every so often the networks get it right and support a series that is a breath of fresh air with clearly developed characters, perfectly cast actors, and a luring and often intricate plot. In appreciation of such shows, I have started this commentary.

The Walking Dead Season 5

The return of The Walking Dead is almost like Christmas come early. Moving into season 5 of this survivor story, we’re at a point where the series has far surpassed the initial “zombie show” branding, and viewers are 100% invested in the characters - walkers or no walkers.  As season 4 came to an end, I agonized over Rick and company’s confinement at Terminus, my heart broke for Carol and Tyreese, and I wondered if Beth had become barbeque. With the prison gone and only a portion of the group reunited, the season 4 finale left me hanging far more than the previous 3 did. There’s so much to find out when the new season kicks off – will the gang get out of Terminus unscathed? Who will set them free? When will Rick find out Judith is alive? Is Eugene really the key to curing the virus? Has Smokin’ Hot Rosita always been so smokin’ hot? Not sure how long it will take to learn this information, but and I have a feeling it will be one hell of a ride along the way.
