I was talking to a good friend who is a fan of the genre but felt the season of Walking Dead ended weakly. It’s not my bag, so no spoilers here. I’m more of a Breaking Bad man myself. [After the way Frank Darabont was treated, I don't care to watch the series at this point: petty me. Now that my ire is upped, I will give a spoiler. The zombie butler did it. Nevermind...I'll behave.]
As said by the sequence’s creator:
“As I was admiring Struzan’s work of art, I wondered what the opening titles to this terrifying new television show might look like… so I animated a spec title sequence using artwork ripped from the pages of the comic, originally illustrated by Charlie Adlard and Tony Moore.”

If you want some of the best character development, cinematography, or music on basic cable…accept no substitutions. Perhaps the only show/season of 2011 I got to follow all the way through.

Hello friends and lovers. Today I am here to talk to you about yet another show canceled on me. If the pic was familiar, you understood why I chose my first sentence.
This isn’t breaking news – like discovering the shows Bored to Death and Terriers canceled within hours of the decision. I had my suspicions on this one, but it took stumbling upon an article by Brad Pike to discover the disheartening realization. His article Food Party: Requiem for the Best TV Show Ever Madewas not only rocking proper capitalization, but pretty much nailed how I felt about this television program (formerly on IFC).
“The show presented some profoundly surreal storytelling with plots that gleefully bent logic to the breaking point—giant talking rats, magic strawberry spitting, and floating pandas.”
You won’t hear me say the show is the best ever, but it certainly outclasses most newer shows on Adult Swim. Those [AS] folks should pull a “Futurama” and figure out a way to put Food Party on their lineup. With a host/star like Thu Tran, what’s not to like?
A female-fronted shows on Adult Swim is still a minority. She MORE than has the chops for it. Take heed, Williams Street!
Food Party sounds like a cooking show, but delves into absurdity through each episode. The sheer amount of creativity is boggling. It’s silly humor isn’t for everyone…but anyone can say there is an insane amount of artistic endeavor behind every shot. Or at least insanity in general. See?
I could put up another dozen pics since there’s much for me to love. The
You know what? While I write this, I’m thinking I should talk all about this show at a different time. Maybe a bloggy-series of stuff I like that didn’t get much of a tv life. I’ll think about it…and weigh the options versus the procrastination factor of my novel. That thing kind of does have a deadline.
