We should be absolutely sick to death of all the cash-ins, pseudo-remakes and imitators. Where are they?

I had wondered why no one seemed to appreciate the drama and passion of the American Revolution and set a film or TV series there. But now it’s a thing.

Does it really make any difference how a show gets before viewers, as long as the viewers are there to support it?

question of the day: Is AMC exploiting 9/11 with its Mad Men imagery?

Does your take on whether or not Mad Men is a thematic riff on our cultural reaction to 9/11 impact whether you see the use of such imagery as reasonable?

AMC’s new zombie drama, The Walking Dead, enjoyed the highest-rated premiere on cable this year: more than eight million people tuned in to see the world end… again. Why?

are you gonna watch AMC’s new ‘The Walking Dead’ tonight?
