The Walking Ed-it

Today the MyNetworkTV TV network, which apparently is a thing, announced that it plans to air syndicated episodes of AMC's The Walking Dead later this year. However, because MyNetworkTV is a regular over-the-air network, it plans to edit the episodes from their current TV-MA rating down to a more family friendly TV-PG.

How they plan to accomplish this without torpedoing 85% of the show's content, characters and plot, I have no idea.

This sounds like yet another monumentally stupid idea to me. If it's necessary to gut a show like a fish until it's rendered virtually unrecognizable, then maybe you shouldn't be airing it on your feel-good Kumbaya network in the first place.

So what would a watered-down TV-PG Walking Dead even look like? The staff here at Bob Canada's BlogWorld managed to get ahold of an advanced, edited sample of the show, which clocks in at just under 90 seconds. Enjoy these screencaps from last weeks harrowing episode titled, The Grove.
