CBS Making Pilot Episode for a TV Show About Zombies

It's called "Babylon Fields". CBS also experimented last year with the semi-cancelled Jericho, a show about life in a small Kansas town after a nuclear war. Although it's hard to screw up post-apocalyptic fiction, it was more like a version of Dawson's Creek with radiation poisoning. Although kudos to CBS for trying new ideas out.

Hat tip to David Camphouse.

So, how can you tell the difference between the two shows?

As a zombie maniac I hope that this pans out.

I can't wait until the World War Z movie comes out. It would also make an amazing computer strategy game.

Only one problem with the computer game idea. You would never have time to blog anymore because you would be playing the game all the time.

PS-I would have no time to read anything because I would be playing it all the time.

Yeah -- it was a powerfully written book. As a movie, it needs to be a trilogy.
