Growing Pains + The Walking Dead = Zombie Pains
You know, the intro credits for The Walking Dead are pretty good, but a little… grim. So I can see why some enterprising nerd would want to remake them using the theme song from the ’80s sitcom Growing Pains. Really brings out the show’s lighthearted spirit. When asked for a comment, Kirk Cameron said, “Zombies? That’s preposterous. There’s no such thing as zombies. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get ready for the Rapture.” (Via Blastr)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
