He was in that episode, he mentions how the card reminds him of his childhood or something like that. I think he also in an episode makes reference to the Sox winning the World Series, I don't know if it was the same one, but I'm pretty sure he did in one.

Personally, I'm a bit surprised Justin Biebler is doing TV already.

He's probably hoping to be on "Celebrity Rehab" before Drew retires.....

Looks absolutely fantastic!!

Love that there's finally an apocalyptic story like this that takes place in Chicago.

Love the shots of Wrigley Field too.

I agree. The video doesn't display the 2012 World Series Championship either.

How many more "end of the world/civilization" movies/shows can be made?!

How about a series about a futuristic society where we actually advanced as a civilization, cured illness and hunger and moved forward.

Oh, that's right Star Trek was already on...

You know, I don't see much difference between Wrigley now and in the picture.

Considering we keep cranking out zombie flicks and TV shows? I'm sure it will keep going for a long, long time.

Notice how the characters' hair and makeup is all perfect in the post-apocalyptic world.

That's why I like Walking Dead they didn't bother with that ****.

+1. And the dad comes out of the house with a hot cup of coffee in the first few scenes.... Um how do you even get coffee 15 years after this event. I'm sure cocoa beans don't grow well here.

Well at least we can do away with the explanation that some flubbie fan traded the electricity to Satan for a WS title...

They don't. Coffee beans don't either.

Nothing like starting your day in the post-apocalyptic world than a nice, warm cup of mud.

They suck in the future and in alternative universes.

Edit: The headline in the print version of the Red Eye was "Cubs lose in alternative worlds, too"

I DVR'd the show and watched it last night to cheer me up after the Sox blew that game.

The show is terrible.

In 15 years, they haven't come up with any kind of alternative energy/power sources (like steam), but they still have the ability to make brightly colored, form fitting clothing and spandex.
