Darabont takes The Walking Dead to TV
TheFuriousWombat:
First episode is damn good! I'm interested in seeing how they extend the plot over a whole season but I have high hopes. It's pretty amazing how much violence they can get away with on cable these days. It was just as gory as any R-rated zombie flick I can recall. I guess there's no tits though so it's all ok.
Ozymandias:
You can "get away" with anything on cable. There's no government restrictions (and never have been) on even basic cable because it's not an openly broadcast service- it's closed. So the only reason there aren't tits is just because they might risk losing sponsors. Sponsors probably are not going to pull for zombie gore though, no.
TheFuriousWombat:
huh I never knew that. I mean I know the prohibition against profanity carries over to cable so I assumed everything else did too. Interesting. Well I'm glad AMC is willing to risk putting people off instead of dumbing content down. Seems like the latter is almost exclusively the route taken.
scarred:
Comedy Central aired a Sarah Silverman standup special completely uncensored at around 1 in the morning, she said fuck and cunt on tv and it was awesome.
Ozymandias:
No, the prohibition against profanity doesn't carry over either, Comedy Central regularly airs uncensored programming latenight (or did) and there was the well known shit episode of South Park. They censor solely on their own terms.
