The Walking Dead Bingo!

Posted on November 8, 2017 by

If you like The Walking Dead and playing games, specifically bingo, you might be interested in this one… You can technically play this with any show, although this card has info specifically for TWD, such as Crossbow Kill, Rick avoids eye contact, and two Negan-centric ones. But it gives you the general idea to use to shape it for any show. If you have watch parties or love watching shows and then chatting with friends about them, you could totally use this to add some fun to it all. My family and I have played bingo with commercials during the Super Bowl, and that was fun too, so being able to do it with a show we all watch would be kind of awesome!


(To download the full version, simply click on the bingo card and then save the big version that comes up!)

 
 
If you’re a bingo fan, you can also play online bingo games like I do. It’s a fun time waster when you want to just relax and kind of turn off your brain for a while. Check out the other games available as well.

Tonight, AMC’s The Walking Dead returns for its eighth season. Last season opened with the reveal that Negan had brutally murdered Abraham and Glenn. Our band of survivors was forced to cooperate and meet Negan’s demands or more of them would die. Negan also took Daryl, and later Eugene, as recruits for his Saviors. While Daryl managed to escape and return to Alexandria, Eugene seemed content in his new position. Meanwhile, Rick and his group secretly plotted to fight back, joining forces with some other communities that were also being oppressed and threatened by Negan. Maggie and Rosita worked on convincing the Hilltop to join them (which caused Gregory to defect to the Saviors), while Carol and Morgan befriended King Ezekiel, the tiger-loving leader of the Kingdom, and Rick made a deal with the garbage-dwelling Scavengers. However, when it came down for the showdown with Negan, the Scavengers double-crossed Rick and aided the Saviors. The Alexandrians managed to turn the tide of the battle, and Negan and his Saviors fled, but they were badly wounded and this was only the first battle is what promises to be a much bigger war.

Now that the gauntlet has been thrown, there’s no turning back for these three communities. How will they stave off Negan and the Saviors? Can they recruit others to also join their cause? While it seems like Eugene has turned against his friends, he did give Sasha the poison and had to know she was going to use it to attack Negan. Is he really a spy working in the enemy camp? It also seemed like Dwight might be willing to fight for Rick—could the two of them help to cause unrest in Negan’s army? Will Negan discover what Eugene did, and how will he react? Will we lose any more of our favorite characters this season? (I think that’s probably a given, but who?!)

While I liked Negan at first, I wish they’d just kill him already and move on to a new big villain. It seems kind of ridiculous that he treats his Saviors horribly, rules by fear, and they all hate him, and yet no one has even attempted to assassinate him in his sleep?!

On tonight’s premiere, “Mercy,” Rick and his group, along with the Kingdom and Hilltop, have banded together to bring the fight to Negan and the Saviors.

To see if Rick and his group challenge Nathan tonight, tune in to AMC at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Ten Days in the Valley, Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, Ghosted, Family Guy, The Last Man on Earth, Good Behavior, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and White Famous.

Tonight, AMC kicks off the fun new comedy Loaded. The series follows four guys who become millionaires overnight thanks to the massively popular mobile game they created. While the money gives the guys a whole new outlook on life, it also opens up a lot of new problems. Leon (Samuel Anderson, Doctor Who) is the leader of the group and wants to take some time to enjoy their new windfall, Josh (Jim Howick, Broadchurch) is the serious and practical one who’s looking toward the future, Ewan (Jonny Sweet, Babylon) is the socially awkward programmer, and Watto (Nick Helm, Uncle) is the wild one who just wants to have fun. With their company growing, the guys now find themselves dealing with new employee issues and the demands of American investor Casey (Mary McCormack, In Plain Sight). The series also stars Aimee-Ffion Edwards (Skins, Peaky Blinders), Lolly Adefope (Rovers), and Scarlett Alice Johnson (Pramface).

I really enjoyed tonight’s premiere. This series is a lot of fun and totally feels like the UK equivalent to Silicon Valley — you can even map most of these characters to their SV counterparts. This should nicely fill the techie TV show void left by SV’s season finale and will nicely lead up to next month’s final season premiere of Halt and Catch Fire.

On tonight’s premiere, “Lawsuit,” four friends become tech millionaires after selling their hit iPhone game “Cat Factory.”

Meet the four newly rich friends tonight on AMC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Superhuman, Will, and Daytime Divas.

Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight! [Note from Jenny: According to Kyle below, in case you want to catch up, AMC is re-airing all previous 15 episodes of Season 2 of Fear the Walking Dead. Because they’re starting so early, at 5:45AM/4:45AMc, I wanted to post this tonight so you’d know to set your DVRs!]

Sunday night, Fear the Walking Dead returns for its third season. When we last left off, Chris had accepted his darker nature and had ditched his father to travel with some other like-minded young men. However, Travis later discovered that men had killed his son, and the shock of the situation unleashed a beast inside him. He beat Brandon and Derrick to death and mortally wounded one of the hotel residents in the process. The fallout from this led to the group being evicted from this safe haven and sent them on the run in search of Nick. Meanwhile, in La Colonia, Alejandro got bit by a walker, and he finally admitted he wasn’t actually immune. As Nick and Luciana led the rest of the people toward a military base, Alejandro stayed back to make one final stand against Marco and his men. As the group made it to the border, with the military base/refugee camp in sight, they suddenly came under fire. They tried to fight back, but Nick and Luciana were taken by the vigilantes. At the same time, Travis, Madison, and Alicia finally made it to La Colonia, where Margo and his gang were now walkers, and in his dying breath Alejandro told them that Nick was headed for the border.

Who are these people who took Nick and Luciana, and what do they want? Will Travis, Madison, and Alicia finally be reunited with Nick in time to save him? I was thrilled to see Chris get killed off last season – he was one of the weakest parts of the show. I look forward to seeing how the series improves without him and what kinds of new threats our group of survivors will face next.

If you missed any of last season or want to re-live it, AMC is re-airing all 15 episodes starting at 5:45am ET/PT tomorrow morning, leading up to the season premiere.

On Sunday night’s 2-hour premiere, “Eye of the Beholder/The New Frontier,” the Clark family find themselves in a dire predicament and must work together to discover a path to safety; and Strand faces resistance as he attempts to hold power over his domain.

Check out the two-hour season premiere on Sunday night on AMC at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Talking Dead, Food Network Star, The Leftovers, Silicon Valley, American Gods, and I’m Dying Up Here.

I’m loving seeing the Scorpion team stranded on the deserted island after their plane crash landed while on the way to a job-slash-honeymoon for Happy & Toby. Unfortunately, the pilot was injured – his arm was trapped, which led to compression syndrome. If they simply pried his arm loose from the wreckage, the poison that had built up would be free to travel through his bloodstream and would kill him. So Toby “MacGyvered” his way to building basically a filter using things from the plane and the island, and they were able to save the pilot’s life and his arm. The team tried to get the attention of a passing ship, but even with the flare they sent off, the ship didn’t see them or turn around. And since they figured out the EMP sent the plane off course without the pilot realizing, they know they’re VERY far from where they should have been and not in a highly trafficked area, and help may not be coming anytime soon, if at all.

Sylvester is having the hardest time with their situation. He was actually very un-Sly-like last week, much less scared and anxious, since he was sure they were going to die and therefore wasn’t afraid of it since he felt it was a foregone conclusion. And one of the funniest parts of the episode was Walter trying to be all lovey-dovey with Paige. He kept calling her different pet names and basically just being too sugary sweet. At first it kind of annoyed Paige, but she realized that it was just the only way he knew to react to his feelings, since they’re new to him. It was all very sweet and funny.

Tonight is the season finale. The team’s been stranded for three weeks. I can’t wait to see how it’s affecting everyone, especially Sylvester. The previews for him look awesomely funny!

On tonight’s episode, “Scorp Family Robinson,” three weeks after they crash land on a deserted island, tensions run high for Team Scorpion when they must battle to overcome their relationship obstacles in order to be rescued.

Find out how the team overcomes these obstacles tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Kids BBQ Championship & Man With a Plan.
