James says: "How weird did CBS's edgy programming phase almost get? Here are exclusive clips from near-miss fall pilot Babylon Fields, which just might be the strangest TV show you have never seen."
Zombies rise from the dead and, in at least one case, have consensual sex with their former spouses.
Show crosses zombie thriller with CBS-style procedural crime drama, so star Ray Stevenson ("Rome") is giving a murder to solve, while the living dead roam the streets.
In one clip, zombie neighbors brag about the erectile-enhancing properties of being deceased:
Zombie #1: "Martha treating you right?"
Zombie #2: [excited] "Oh, like a newlywed at an oyster fest! Listen, since you been back, have you been, like, ready to 'go,' you know, like all the time?"
