Anyone watching the new tv show, Containment?

Did I miss that? I wanted to see it - the previews looked promising. I'll try to find it online maybe, or see if they have an encore showing.

I wanted to see that too! I don't watch much tv, I don't pay attention to what's on.....

You'll never believe it, but it aired in New Zealand on the same day as America!! Normally we're 4 or 5 years behind you guys so this is great.

Ok so I watched...they are stupid they did not take enough precautions. But, OMG maybe this will be the way the beginning of an outbreak will be handled. If so we are all in really big trouble.

I believe that watching programs like this is a good idea because when TSHTF it could happen this way. It helps me decide when and which route my son take if TSHTF.

He is a college student with usually no food in his apartment. I have a BOB for him.   He knows to get his car and gas cans filled and throw his BOB in the back and come home how I tell him to.

It scares me when I hear the ad on the radio that there are now 7 Billion people on earth and that number doubled since 1970.   That is 40 years and the population has doubled. Sh^t will hit the fan one of these days and I hope my son survives and knows what to do to survive and thrive.

It's on Tuesday nights at 8pm.   Here in Southern California it's on KTLA Channel 5, so apparently it will be on one of the main networks in your area and easy to find.    You can usually catch the pilot episode if you missed it by using the on demand features with your cable company, or whatever it might be in your area.   

It's completely right up our alley either way you slice it.   A mutated h7n2 avian flu with a 100% CFR.   So get the popcorn ready for Tues night.   Would be hard to believe that when they make a show like this that they wouldn't research posts from the only Avian Flu site on the net, which go back a decade of course.

Their research seems to be fairly on the mark.  

Good to know, Albert. I have KTLA 5. I'll have to look into it. Is it like Contagion or more annoying?

Hello Friends,

Just go to Google or Yahoo, and type in CW Channel.
That will take you to their website, pick shows, and you will see the program.

Or, go to : cwtv.com

Pretty nice of them to archive their shows for watching after the initial airing.

Hope this helps a bit.

Ya it is young adult.  Watched the second half just now.  Fell asleep half way through last night.  What can I say, falling asleep is half the fun.   It was a pleasant surprise to see them use the Avian Flu to wipe out humanity, in a sick sort of way.   

Killer avian flu seems to be the centerpiece for horror flicks these days.  I think the reason is because it's the closest doomsday scenario to becoming reality someday.   On another note, when we do have an AI pandemic, there will be terror in the streets after all these shows.   It will be when a horror flick or a real scary movie that becomes reality to people, especially after these movies depicting it as that.  Might as well have Frankenstein walking the streets instead of that one. 

It got cancelled, this week. I didn't even get to watch it yet.

Says the finale will air July 19, so still several episodes left I guess but that sucks they are not giving it a chance.  Any more you can't get into any of these new shows because they never make it past 1 or 2 seasons.  I don't get much time to watch tv so if I invest my time in a show I enjoy it really irritates me when they are on today & gone tomorrow.

I feel like most of these pandemic or disaster situation shows get chopped so quick if there are no zombies involved. Kind of like Revolution, which started out somewhat promising.

That is so true! They looked photo-shoot ready, 90% of the time. At least in The Walking Dead, sometimes they look a bit scruffy, ie Rick's Beard.

I was really into Revolution too... but they lost me when the firefly thing (nanotech) started... So stupid.  Sorry if that was your favorite part.
