Just found an interesting article about the PTC angry with the Walking Dead, and how the show is rated. My opinion... Someone give Nicotero a raise. :)

The first step is the one you believe in, the second one might be profound.

Hahah, I know, right?

I'm not sure what they want to accomplish here. Giving the show a rating like that only makes kids want to watch it all the more.

I'm 14 and if a stupid rating went up there's no way I would stop watching my favourite show just for the PTC

It's the writing they should be mad at, not the gore.

Ha! Here's what GM tweeted about it:

If little kids don't watch @WalkingDead_AMC, how will they learn what to do in a zombie apocalypse? #Educational #PublicService

Heh. :lol:

I'm not exactly sure what the ramifications would be if the show was given a M rating. Does that mean it would be blocked if there are parental controls on the TV?

I did let my 14 yr old start watching, but she watches new eps with me and my husband. I didn't feel she was emotionally mature enough when TWD first aired, so I held off. Every kid is different.

My opinion is I don't think the M rating would hurt ratings. Lol, I had a good long explanation typed out, but I'm a lil heavy for my soapbox these days... :)
