But at tonight’s panel at Paleyfest in Los Angeles, more than a little was inferred about season two. Read on after the jump… Will Michael Rooker’s character, Merle, be back? Exec producer Frank Darabont promises that they are “investigating possibilities,” while show producer and comic creator Robert Kirkman followed up with, “lots of possibilities.” The one thing Darabont promised is that Merle will not return as governor. But it seems pretty safe to assume Merle will return. ( Read The Walking Dead Season 2 more… ) Walking Dead Season 2 to Feature a Lava Planet? *lowers head in shame* Frank Darabont’s Walking Dead TV series on AMC was no doubt a critical and public success. Much like the comic from which it’s based it’s a rich, smart, character driven story about what happens when a group of people are forced to survive in a world ruled by the dead. It’s filled with great moments of suspense, psychological terror and gut wrenching loss. However, much to the chagrin of fans, the show differed from the comic, quite a bit actually. New characters and new situations were added (Red necks, gang that takes care of elderly at nursing home, Finale at the Center of Disease Control.. etc). The goal being to give people a who have read the comic a reason to watch. Apparently, the creatives behind the show thought that if fans knew what was coming then they would have no interest in watching. Personally, that pissed me off. While I did enjoy these added bits, it wasn’t what I knew. I wanted to see everything transpire on screen that I read in hand. It’s like going to your favorite restaurant to order your favorite meal and the chef changes the recipe. It’s not what you wanted.

With shows centering on everything from bounty hunters to ice truckers to pawn shop extraordinaires, it was only a matter of time before the likes of Lizard Lick Towing rolled into town. Ron and Amy Shirley and Bobby Brantley of Lizard Lick Towing are no strangers to television – they were featured on truTV’s All Worked Up, a show centered on workers in the rowdiest of occupations, from bouncers to repo men. Although the three big personalities must have made a big enough impression on fans and truTV producers alike, this time the gang looks as though they are trying a little too hard to justify having their own show.
