AMERICA WANTS TELEVISION WITH BRAINS: After last night's huge ratings for The Walking Dead, particularly among young viewers, I expect shows will be looking for ways to add zombies. Some are easy--Desperate Housewives becomes far more desperate when Mary Alice Young rises from her grave, hungry for flesh; Gossip Girl gets Blair Waldorf to fend off a newly zombified Dan Humphrey after Dorota brings her an old Louboutin which she uses to smash in his head; and I can already picture "Dr. Cristina Yang, bad-ass zombie fighter." Please provide your suggestions for how we can add more flesh eating to television.

ETA: Apparently, the correct answer is Zombieland: The Series, which I can actually get behind--the movie felt like a (very big) TV pilot in a lot of ways, setting up 4 characters for a long haul.
