Discovery channel has a new ‘reality’ show coming out on July 21st called “The Colony”. According to the website:
In the first experiment of its kind, real people from a wide variety of backgrounds and skills will be challenged to rebuild their own civilization in a devastated world.
The test will take place in an isolated urban compound with no electricity from the grid, no running water, and no communication with the outside world.
Ok, maybe it’ll be cheesy but I’m such a sucker for apocolyptic fiction I will be compelled to watch. While it is a shame they won’t be having any zombies (or even C.H.U.D.) attacking the members, there will be a ‘gang of thugs’ who attempt to harrass them to make the whole thing more dramatic.
The website for the show has some cool things to waste some time with and it looks like there will be some sort of facebook related game to go with it.
Still…I wish it would have zombies. Everything is better with zombies.
