A new tv series featuring zombies is coming soon ( 29th august) ! From Dreadcentral :
Viewers will be taken to a place they’ve never been before, with MTV’s new horror-comedy “Death Valley.” The scripted series follows the ‘Undead Task Force’ (UTF), a newly formed division of the LAPD, documentary-style, as they capture the monsters that roam the streets of California’s San Fernando Valley. In a world where vampires, werewolves and zombies live freely, “Death Valley” is a fun, comedic non-stop thrill ride featuring chases, hardcore kills and bizarre encounters.

The concept is kinda cool I guess but then I read "MTV" so it'll more than likely be retarded. A bunch of garbage that targets teeny boppers with bad taste who are into zombies and monsters because it's now the "trendy" thing to do.
Remember when people who liked horror were outcasts and made fun of? I do. I miss those days. Now teeny boppers and tards are treading into my territory...and I'm schooling them. Haha.

Yeah it is likely to be targeted for teens, so what? I am not so far from being a teen myself (24) and I still enjoy teens films and tv shows, and to call it a bunch of garabge and retarded its way too extreme, just because something is targeted for someone other than you, doesn't make it "garbage" or "retarded", and the ones who like it, they're teens ok, but calling those who like this kind of shows teeny boppers or retards its insulting , as well as condescending.

Yes, it is condescending and yes, I am a prick. And so what if my opinions are "extreme?" They're my opinions and I'm entitled to them and you're entitled to yours. And this still looks retarded and probably will be garbage.
With my experience, each generation gets dumber and dumber and likes shittier things. The world needs to reboot itself.

Don't reboot... reload! Wait... what the fuck does that mean? No idea.
Show sounds stupid as shit, they need to stop taking vampire, werewolves and zombies and turning them into pussies that retarded teens like. If you don't like real horror, don't fucking watch it.
MTV blows these days. That channel's for pussies too.

When I saw you write horror-comedy and documentary style I got a little excited, because I thought "Oh cool it sounds like Reno-911 (a spoof of COPS). Following a bunch of smart arse and incompetent cops around day-to-day except dealing with Zombies and monsters instead of Gay Prostitutes and white trailer trash."
Although I overlooked the part about it all being scripted. It seems like the only documentary style vibe we're going to get from this show is in the form of the wobbly cam (used extensively in Law & order) at least judging by the trailer. Not that that's a bad thing but I do love a good mocku-mentary in the vein of The Office or Reno 911.
I won't write this show off completely because I'm the sort of guy who liked Buffy and Angel with their cheesy special FX and fight choreography; however, that trailer didn't exactly knock my socks off. Now perhaps its just the editing on the trailer, but it looks like its trying to be too much of each genre and the problem is doesn't look like it succeeds in either aspect. Not scary or dark enough to be a serious horror show but not quite funny enough to be a comedy. I seriously hope they saved all the good bits for the show because if "They're spreading faster then kardashians", "Is your camera man zooming in on my boobs?" and "We have a giant weenie in the car" are the highlights of this comedic showcase then it'll be a mega turd.
The thing is I want to like this show, but the trailer left me underwhelmed.

Meh. Didn't really do much for me. Best part was Dwight Howard in the Adidas ad.

Wow.
This trailer looks so lame, way more lame than just about every show on tv, no wonder you guys are ripping it a new one.

Totally agree with you, HybridZombie. Can't wait for this show. This is a great time for us zombie fans. Two zombie shows in a row! This from 29th August and Walking dead from 16th October.
* The post of HybridZombie above me was modified by Flesh Eater (childishly, I must say) . In the original post he said the opposite about the trailer.

So...it's "let's mix COPs and True Blood and Walking Dead, shoot it all in the Cloverfield/Blair Witch/Monsters style and the kids will EAT it up!"?

Why don't you try to enjoy it instead of all this negativity? After all you are a zombie fan i guess ( since you are a member of this community) , and this is a zombie show. How much of those do we get? you should be thankful.

Haha Fleshy! I thought people had to sign up to make posts?
I honestly could give a fuck less or be "thankful" that MTV is giving us some potential garbage raping something we love because it's now growing popular with the masses. Doesn't even sound original anyway. A rip-off and mixture of all-things popular at the moment. I'm sure it'll be an epic fail. If I want to watch good zombie media, I'll resort to my Blu-ray/DVD/VHS collection.
