I find the aversion to child-zombies kinda odd, considering in the very first scene of the first episode of The Walking Dead the Main Character shoots a little girl zombie (holding a teddy bear, no less) right through the head. Hell, here's a screenshot: http://puu.sh/3PMYr.jpg And that's one of the highest-rated and most viewed current TV series in the United States. Honestly, the most entertaining aspect of a Zombie apocalypse isn't the zombies themselves, it's the tough decisions that have to be made to survive. It's the complex moral dynamics that sell a series, not gory zombie-killing.
