Mahlzeit!
I think it's time for a general thread about running or upcoming TV series.
Well, I think I'll start with good news for all the zombie fans out there:
AMC, the broadcaster that brought us such great shows as Mad Men and Breaking Bad (new season just started), will bring you The Walking Dead, an adaption of the Robert Kirkman comics. Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Mist) has made the pilot in co-production with executive producer Charles Eglee who has worked as writer and producer on Murder One, Dark Angel, The Shield and Dexter. AMC was so wowed by Darabonts pilot presentation that they immediately ordered a half-season of six episodes which are to air in October.
Coming on HBO within the next twelve months will not only be new seasons of True Blood (June 13th), Hung and Entourage, but also a lot of new shows, for example
Treme (premieres on April 11th), a show about post-Katrina New Orleans, starring John Goodman amongst others.
Boardwalk Empire (coming this fall), an "epic drama series set in Atlantic City at the dawn of Prohibition" (quote HBO) starring Steve Buscemi, shot and/or produced by Martin Scorcese and Terrence Winter (The Sopranos).
Game Of Thrones, a new fantasy series based on George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels. Cast including Sean Bean, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, and Michelle Fairley. Shot on various promising locations in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Morocco (Carncastle, Shane's Castle, Castle Ward, Tollymore Forest Park, Doune Castle, Ouarzazate).
Also coming soon:
Romantically Challenged (April 12th), Alyssa Milano's new series.
Glee (returns April 13th)
Gravity (April 23rd), new Starz dramedy series about a group of people who failed in killing themselves, starring Ving Rhames.
Party Down (returns with 2nd season on April 23rd)
Im Angesicht des Verbrechens (for the German users here: acclaimed German crime mini series, starts April 27th on Arte)
Happy Town (premieres April 28th), new mystery series, allegedly Twin Peaks style.
The Good Guys (premieres May 19th)
100 Questions (premiers May 27th)
Lie To Me (returns June 7th)
Persons Unknown (June 7th), promising sounding new mystery series about a group of strangers, imprisoned inside a small ghost town.
Warehouse 13 (returns with it's second season on July 13th with Allison Scagliotti (the main reason to watch season one) promoted from the recurring to the main cast)
Weeds (returns August 16th)
The C Word (premieres August 16th), new Showtime drama about a female cancer patient, allegedly with a very refreshing and "unforced" take on this subject.
Sons of Anarchy, returns with it's third (and hopefully not last) season on September 1st
Edit:
I just read, that USA Network will star airing the new seasons of Burn Notice and Royal Pains on June 3rd.

Let me know who you would like on the show and I'll see what I can do. Members who are currently :ban2: are not permitted to be on the show.
