The Walking Dead Season 1 DVD Sale Price

For the moment, The Walking Dead Season 1 DVD is at a special price, heavily discounted on Amazon. Fans of this Emmy-winning, groundbreaking series, can buy the Season 1 DVD for their collection at a fantastic price.

This series is recommended for fans of zombies, apocalypse disaster stories, and anyone with a strong stomach!

I’m writing about this because I personally have just recently discovered this series (on Netflix) and the price is just a bit over the cost of a single movie ticket. The 2 disc set has 6 episodes and runs for 292 minutes. That’s a much better deal than a movie and then I get to watch each episode as many times as I want, like reading a good book all over again.

There’s a page about the season 1 DVD set for The Walking Dead, or for more information about The Walking Dead series itself.

You might like this TV show if you like disaster stories, apocalypse stories, or outbreak stories. I enjoy it, and I enjoy all those things!

The Walking Dead Season 1 DVD

The Walking Dead Season 1 DVD is a 2 disc box set of 6 episodes of the award winning AMC series about the survivors of a viral outbreak that causes what amounts to a zombie apocalypse.

A series for fans of zombies, apocalypse disasters, and anyone with a strong stomach for gore!

In season 1 of The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes searches for his wife and son, leads a group of survivors of the apocalypse, and searches for a safe haven. The Walking Dead TV show is creepy and nerve-racking at times, but good. If you have a weak stomach for gore, you might have to close your eyes a lot (me) but it’s worth toughing it out for the story underlying the gory details.

The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead is about the survivors of a zombie apocalypse. Led by police officer Rick Grimes, a group of survivors travel around looking for a safe and secure home–but don’t really have a lot of luck finding one.

These new special edition sets for season 1 have seriously more awesome covers than the original, although it’s certainly spooky in its own way with the lone man on an empty road into Atlanta. (A road I have traveled several times and which now creeps me out when I think about it a little too hard!)

The Walking Dead News & Content

Recent News about The Walking Dead

Although there’s more news for The Walking Dead than is listed here, I only post news that I find interesting and important. Link suggestions are welcome but there are no guarantees I’ll post them.

The Walking Dead Memorabilia

There’s a board game for The Walking Dead that I cam across recently and a 2012 calendar. It’s a little late for the calendar, but frankly, I don’t think most of us buy this stuff for its usefulness, do we?

Finally, I came across The Walking Dead soundtrack and visited Bear McCreary’s website, where the guy behind The Walking Dead music talks about his composition choices for each episode and the show as a whole–a site you should definitely visit. This is the same person behind the Eureka music and soundtrack, and it’s fantastic.

The Show

The Walking Dead begins with police officer Rick Grimes waking in an abandoned hospital from a coma, to discover the world changed beyond imagining. A viral outbreak has created zombies from the dead and they’re eating the living. He leads a group of survivors on a search for his missing wife and son and a safe and secure home where they can escape the zombies stalking them at every turn.

Once Upon a Time Enchants

I’m nearly always a day or two behind when it comes to watching a TV show. Today I sat down to watch Once Upon a Time, a new show from ABC that crosses contemporary drama and fairytale fantasy. Once Upon a Time's Rumpelstiltskin aka Mr. Gold The show appealed to me for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is because I love fairytales.

In the pilot episode (which you can watch on the ABC website if you missed it), Emma Swan meets the son she gave up for adoption ten years previous. These days, Emma is a bail bondswoman and her desire to become a parent is non-existent. However, Henry, her son, seems determined to bring her back to his hometown of Storybrooke, where he believes Snow White and Prince Charming have been trapped with no recollection of who they really are. Emma is their daughter and it is up to her to save everyone in Storybrooke from the Evil Queen, who is now living as the town’s mayor Regina and who is the adopted mother of Henry.

What I discovered while watching the Once Upon a Time Pilot Episode was that I loved the premise. I also think the execution of the two elements (Storybrooke and Fairytale) was handled really well and made for some excellent story telling.

Intriguing and mysterious, but not obscure, Once Upon a Time enchanted this viewer. I’ll be watching again, no doubt about it.

Anyone who likes fantasy should consider the Once Upon a Time TV show for, at the very least, a one-time viewing. If you’re anything like me though, one viewing won’t be enough.

In a quick aside, I really enjoyed seeing Robert Carlyle in another TV series now that Stargate Universe is off the air. Although that show had its issues, Carlyle’s performance wasn’t one of them. His portrayal of Rumpelstiltskin was awesome.

I suggest you watch, if only so that the ratings warrant keeping the show on the air just so I can keep watching it. I’d be every so grateful.
