I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM SOME ARE HAVING WITH EPISODE 2, "GUTS." IT APPEARS THAT SOME ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THE ENTIRE FOOTAGE (3+ MINUTES OR SO) CONCERNING THE GROUPS TAKING INDOORS "WAYNE DULAP", THE DEAD, WALKER. THIS FOOTAGE OF GORE AS THE GROUP HACKS AWAY AT HIM WITH AN AXE IN GRAPHIC DETAIL. I TOO HAVE SEEN THIS DELETION. BUT, YOU CAN SEE IT ALL! A SIMPLE CHANGE AS TO HOW YOU BEGIN WATCHING THE FIRST DISC IS KEY. SIMPLY VIEW EACH EPISODE AS A SINGLE EPISODE IN ITSELF. RATHER THAN CLICKING "PLAY ALL." TO VIEW EACH EPISODE AS A SINGLE PLAY, YOU WILL SEE EVERY FRAME OF INTENDED GORE AND BLOOD! OR AS REAL AS IT WAS INTENDED! I HOPE THIS CLEARS THE MISCONCEPTIONS OF "MISSING FOOTAGE."
As a Verified Amazon Purchased item, I can attest to this with my honesty and heart. Growing up on the original "Night of the Living Dead", that movie scared me for years. To this day, it still sends shivers down my spine. In fact, the only thing that truly gets my heart pounding in fright, is the dead coming back to life! For decades hundreds of movies have imitated, but never duplicated that 1968 low-budget film. One man's view took others with him and the select few became giants in the industry in their own right. Tom Savini was Romero's make-up & special effects artist on NOTLD and he branched off to make the dead more real in his views. Another man, Greg Nicottero, followed Savini, and in time, along with Howard Berger, became the predominant forces when it came to bringing the dead to life. Fast forward to 2010.
When I heard whispers at Horror Conventions that the Graphic Novel I loved, "The Walking Dead" would be picked up by AMC for a single, 6 episode season, I knew my dreams of NOTLD had come full circle. Having met Mr. Romero on several occasions, I had asked him of his thoughts on the TV jump? He just said, "If anyone can pull this off, Greg can." That was golden for me. But how does one take a comic of sorts and turn it into a TV series?
AMC gave the go-ahead for an unprecedented attempt to where TV had not gone before. No different than Star Trek and the realms it charted. Wow. Was I shocked and happily worth the 50 year wait!
Robert Kirkman's take on the "Undead" was and is breathtaking. While there are certain differences between the Graphic Novel & TV show, some subtle, others much more outright, "The Walking Dead Season 1" was absolutely brilliant! Sure, the first episode mirrors "28 Days Later" as Rick Grimes awakes from a coma to find the world has turned upside down, he remains true to his Sheriff's law abiding ways. As well as a man seeking his wife and son. Only to find every BODY he passes is either "put down" or NOT! As he arrives to his home, his life, you see what I believe any of us would do. Collapse. He breaks down as he realizes that all he knew is no more, but with a grip on "maybe?" He patrols outdoors to his former neighbors home. Only to be whacked with a shovel by an even more scared Duane. Only a child himself trying to deal with DEAD PEOPLE NOT STAYING DEAD! As Rick regains his wits for a sec, he sees Morgan with a muzzle in his face. Wait? Isn't Rick the Sheriff? No wonder he passes out! We as the audience do not need the growing ensemble cast yet. Rick needs to learn about the new reality first, first hand. The brief cut-aways at his prior gun shot are necessary for US to learn about him. Rick learns of the world from Morgan and Duane. All the while Morgans pathetic wife mopes just outside because Morgan himself still hasn't come to terms yet. And he is 1 month into this insanity!
All in this first episode, the 3 members must deal with this together. Yet prepare to go separate ways. An amazing moment when Morgan has his new rifle that Rick gave him. One full month on of his morbid wife lurking outside the front door, and the Human Element keeps him from putting her down. He knows she is dead. It is the right thing to do. But the LOVE keeps him from pulling that trigger. Duane knows the moment is near and covers his ears and cringes with fright! Morgan hesitates. He is not ready to deal with the "Walking Dead." Fore his wife is not his wife anymore. Given the chance, she would tear into his flesh in a sec! Rick drives off in a Sheriff's car in search of Lori and Carl. He KNOWS they made it. He hangs onto this simple yet strong notion. If not, then all hope is truly lost! All in the first episode!
I shall not go on about the remaining 5 episodes of Season 1. By now, I'm sure most of you have either seen them or know about them. Many on here have written much as I. Yes, some hate the premise of Zombies altogether. I say to them, just don't watch, don't read this and change the channel. As Bruce Springstien sang, "500 channels and nothing to watch." I'm sure there is. As for myself and Millions of loyal Undead fans, THIS is exactly what we have been waiting for.
All thanks to George A. Romero and his original vision of "NIGHT OF THE FLESH EATERS." I'm so glad that name never took!
I am highly recommending this set in Blu-Ray! To watch this in the best possible clarity and sound is like nothing else! I have also purchased "The Walking Dead Seasons 2&3" on Blu-Ray as well. I shall be leaving follow-up reviews for them as well. By far, aside from the original "Star Trek Series", AMC's "The Walking Dead" is the BEST thing on cable television...

I Love The Walking Dead!!!
I am a huge fan of The Walking Dead. I had to have this DVD. I ordered the 2 Disc DVD set. This is a great DVD set to add to my collection. I do have Season 3 and 4. I'm not sure why I have those before Season 1 and 2. But at any rate, my DVD's of Season 1 arrived in excellent shape.There are Bonus Features: Making of The Walking Dead, Inside The Walking Dead; Episodes 1-6, Behind the scenes.Another DVD features Extra Footage: Zombie School, Bicycle Girl, etc...I can't wait till the new Seasons come on and then I am on pins and needles the whole time the show is on. My husband and friends know when The Walking Dead is on - leave me alone! I can now watch any episode I want Thanks to the DVD's. I am pleased with this DVD set. I paid full price for this product.
