  1. Roger & Damon,

    Do you plan to cover the new horror serial, "The Walking Dead" on AMC?

    I know this is off topic but the show is a new serial.

    Also, I haven't seen much coverage of the Good Wife or Caprica. Both are excellent night time soaps. I'd encourage viewers to catch up on Caprica on Hulu. The writing, acting, and cinematography are incredible, providing a film-like experience.
