Zombies, Vampires, and Joel Silver...Oh, My!! Funky-Cool CBS Shows Coming!!

Merrick here...

What are the chances the phrase "Oh, my" would appear on two subsequent Coax headlines?

CBS looks to be bringing us two more genre entries. It's awesomely cool that the network didn't get a sour stomach from SF after the Braga's THRESHOLD putrefied and floundered.

The shows are BABYLON FIELDS (yes, I initially typed BABYLON 5), described as...

...an hourlong zombie-themed hour described by CBS as a "sardonic, apocalyptic American comedy-drama where the dead are rising and as a result, lives are regained, families restored and old wounds reopened.

...and TWILIGHT, from Joel Silver and Ron Koslow (remember Koslow's from TV's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST a while back?). TWILIGHT is described as:

...a drama about a vampire/private eye who's dealing with the fallout from being immortal, his foes in the vampire world and a budding love for a mortal.

So, kind of a HIGHLANDER with fangs?

Really curious to see how they pull of Zombie kill shenanigans in a Prime Time friendly way.
