HBO Decided Not To Air It
When the producers of The Walking Dead first pitched the show to networks, they were met with some surprising resistance. The show was originally pitched to HBO before landing on AMC, where it became immensely popular. The massive, Emmy-winning network decided against airing the show because of its graphic violence. Give that some time to sink in. The producers of The Walking Dead were told by the same network that brought us The Sopranos, The Wire, Game of Thrones, and Westworld that the show was too violent for them to air. What a shame for them.
