This show is brilliant and incredibly well done horror comedy. As others have pointed out, "Death Valley" is essentially "Reno 911" with monsters, very similar in vibe to the X-Files episode "X-Cops." As with "The Walking Dead," the special makeup effects are better than average for television. The cast are all seasoned actors who sell the story. The obviously high production values keep the show from sinking deep into campiness.
I was shocked to discover that this was actually an MTV production. I was less shocked to discover that MTV chose not to renew the series for a second season, since I have come to expect such moronic programming maneuvers from this network. Perhaps they needed more time slots for Jackass reruns. That said, if you're not the kind of person who would enjoy Reno 911 with monsters, feel free to move on to Glee or House or whatever you're thing is.
