I know the hardcore zombie fans might get a little pissy with me asking about this, but was Max Brooks involved with the show in any way? I regret asking this question already...

No Max Brooks involvement at all. It's based off of the comic by Robert Kirkman, who has said that as long as he's writing TWD he wont read World War Z because he doesn't want it to influence him.
The first episode was AMAZING. I stopped reading the comic itself a while back (I'd post why but I don't want to put spoilers but one includes the fact that I couldn't stand Rick by the time I stopped) but that episode brought me right back to why I loved the first few trades.

Actually both Kirkman has said the hospital scenes were influenced by this
which also influenced the opening of 28 Days Later.
