THE WALKING DEAD! A Running Diary…

10:01 Okay. Shooting the little girl Zombie. That’s an early indication this ain’t no ordinary TV show. A pretty powerful opening scene. He killed her graveyard dead. 10:05 Scene in the cop car. A very good indication that this series will be character driven. Listening to the two cops talk to each other, reminded me [...]

One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other. The New Hawaii 5-0.

Growing up, one of my favorite television shows was Hawaii 5-0. I loved the exotic locale. The theme song, Jack Lord’s hair, “Book ‘em Danno” all of it.
