My point is not about quality of basic cable, I love Justified, it's about the specific genre being on basic cable.
Two of my favorite shows are over (Nip/Tuck and LOST) and next year some more of my favorite shows will likely end (Smallville, Supernatural, maybe The Office). At least I still have Dexter and Mad Men!
Breaking Bad (also on AMC) has had, amongst other things:
- The disintegrated remains of a body melted in an acid bath fall through a ceiling
- A man be decapitated with an axe, with it taking multiple cuts to finally remove it
- Said head then being superglued onto the back of a tortoise
- Said tortoise then being blown up, taking off another character's leg
- Someone getting shot in the head, blasting a crater through the back of their skull.
So I wouldn't say we need to worry about lack of violence on The Walking Dead.![]()

AMC's new conspiracy thriller that will be paired with Mad Men this summer. Been looking forward to this for a long time. James Badge Dale is the lead and the pilot director was Allen Coulter who set the looks for The Sopranos, Damages.
