If you’re not already getting AMC, on cable or satellite, you may have a good reason to coming up in the next few months–they’re hard at work on a new series based on Robert Kirkman’s comic The Walking Dead.
Zombie fans out there, you know how singlemindedly awesome this is, and the thought of a Walking Dead television series is enough to almost give you hope until you remember that THIS IS TELEVISION, and television often falls under the purview of the FCC, the biggest nanny-state outfit on the face of the earth. But not to worry, folks, apparently the boys at AMC have already put a standard on Kirkman’s work–no profanities at F-bomb rank or higher.
Considering that they just turned a foot into pudding on Mad Men, and that show airs during prime time, they might just be able to pull off a little zombie gore and authenticity. But even with some off-camera gore, a zombie based TV show is still a pretty awesome idea.
