AMC’s zombie drama “The Walking Dead” returned for its second season on Sunday. And it’s definitely bringing new life to the zombie genre.

The TV show, which premiered in October 2010, is about a bunch of survivors running around Atlanta after a zombie apocalypse. The city is now roaming with “walkers.” The Season 2 premiere pulled in an impressive 7.3 million viewers.

So this got us thinking about all the classic zombie movies out there. No one can forget “Dawn of the Dead” (1978), “Night of the Living Dead” (1968), and “28 Days Later.” Whether it features blood eaters or mindless human beings, what is your favorite zombie movie?

And in honor of the season premiere of “The Walking Dead,” we want to know from you: Do you think you could survive a zombie attack? We know our community has quite an imagination and plenty of creativity! Share with everyone what you would do — what’s your plan? What’s on your must-have list for making it through a zombie apocalypse?  I’m sure we’ll read some interesting stories!

The Mega Millions jackpot drew huge interest across the country when the winning ticket’s value reached $380 million. That’s a pretty good jackpot. No wonder thousands of people lined up and decided to try their luck. The numbers drawn in the second largest jackpot in U.S. history were…

4, 8, 15, 25, 47 and the Mega Ball number was 42.

What are the odds of winning? Well two lucky winners are starting the new year right. Two winning tickets were sold in small Pacific Northwest towns. The winners have yet to claim their prizes.

Also, there’s a bizarre twist. Many fans of the show “Lost” have indicated that the winning numbers are very similar to those of Hugo “Hurley” Reyes, a character on the show who used 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42 to win the lottery. Coincidence?

Seems our community was joining in on the lottery craze too. Questions ranged from What are my chances of winning?, and What would be the first thing you would do? to Can a supercomputer predict lottery numbers?

You tell us: Would you or do you play the lottery? And if you really did ever win, what would you do with all that money?

Regular TV is so last decade. Now, it seems, reality TV has taken over our living room.

When the reality craze started, it seemed harmless at first. We were only rooting for the underdog to make it to super-stardom. Then, each season, there were more and more reality shows that got even more and more ridiculous.

They range from singing competitions, finding true love, surviving in the wilderness, losing weight, living with complete strangers, following celebs to watching a mother raise her 8 children.

Here’s a question: What WAS on TV before the reality-show era started? Back in the day, we watched movies, documentaries, and live or taped performances. MTV was still airing videos. Perhaps we’ll have a channel dedicated to reality shows just like news, music, and sports.

Even our community is curious about this trend asking why these shows keep taking over the networks. Apparently, there is even a reality show curse that causes relationships to break up. The Hogan family, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, and Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are just a few of its victims.

Why do you think reality shows are so popular?
