Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
The other thing that pisses me off about the hiatus is that the new episode has been leaked, and spoilers are everywhere.
Reading about the way AMC manages their shows and station, it is pretty evident that they are run by the morons who got fired from FOX. It's amazing that AMC is home of Breaking Bad and Mad Men.
I'm pretty sure the Walking Dead is pulling in more viewers than both shows, which is ironic. =/ You would think that since The Walking Dead is the station's moneymaker, they would give it first-class treatment. Instead, AMC has slashed the show's budget, and they plan to do another calculated hiatus next year. As bad as AMC is, they haven't even touched FOX.
Let's not forget FOX's accolades:
Cancelling Arrested Development, Family Guy, Futurama, Firefly, Titus
Renewing the Simpsons for Season 21313204832704871240917240812347
That number would be more coherent and accurate if I wasn't frustrated at how shitty the Simpsons have become.
The best thing to emerge from the FOX cesspool in the past few years has been Bob's Burgers. That show is a winner.
FOX can't even get sports right. Troy Aikman and Joe Buck can go fuck themselves for being the worst sports commentators ever. Bleh. Sorry for the tangential rant everyone.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
Can't really blame them, can you? They worked a long time on 1 season, then they needed to find out if it was a success before they could make a next.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
I don't see what the big deal is. The first season was six eps and you had to wait a year to see more. It's not like you already got used to watching 13 eps of this show a year.
Now Mad Men...that's been killing me.

Yes, but AMC only ordered 6 episodes. They then ordered a full season, but that's really beside the point. Other shows take a mid-season hiatus as well, like Supernatural, but come back much sooner. In the end, I think the term "hiatus" is what bothers me. They should just create a new model of "mini-seasons" and be done with it: 6 episodes fall, winter, spring, with a break in the summer.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
Prof S hit the nail on the head.
The issue is also pacing....if you are going to have a "mini season," then pace the damn show! I don't know if you all forgot, but Season 2 of the Walking Dead wasn't a stellar tour de force from start to finish.
The writing is not aligned with a "mini season." Maybe they can fine tune that with new expectations for the next season.

Eh I'm still excited. I'm giving it until the end of the season. If it still lacks I'll drop the show as one of the few shows I watch.

I'm with you. I think they went a long way in fixing a lot of what went awry in the final few episodes. At the very least the show has always been entertaining (IMO), even if disappointing at times. My main concern over the hiatus was that it would lose momentum/audience and therefore be cancelled due to production costs.
