Waiting for what exactly?

 

Edit*** 

 

Here, check the dates, do a google search.  You're taking this April Fools thing a little to seriously and are overly paranoid:

I have no faith in it to be honest. AMC shows are not very good anymore.

Say what!?!?  Compared to what?  They put out better TV than the majority of other providers.

Is a pile of crap popular because he is surrounded by flies? Walking dead is just plain bad now, Breaking bad is over, and Mad Men to me just seems overrated(good but not great to me). Yeah sure other shows are horrible with incoherent plots and unconvincing actors but just because the industry's standards have lowered does not mean I have to lower mine.

To be honest, the only show amc has (or had) that interested me was breaking bad. The other shows were meh at best (also the commercials that amc has just kills it for me).

I thought that was just a movie not a tv series.

I wonder how these two shows will be in terms of actual tech accuracy.... and if the Halt and Catch Fire is a about a group of people who stole another companies tech design and made it their own I've already lost interest. 

Like watching Anime? Consider joining the unofficial LTT Anime Club Heaven Society~ ^.^

Other networks have always had HORRIBLE shows. ABC probably cancels 5 shows each year, and i mean CANCEL not FINISH. AMC has always finished their shows. IFC is probably the best channel for TV right now in my opinion, but AMC is pretty good.
