Civilization falls, zombies attack everyone, and everyone immediately begins attacking and killing each other. Not gonna happen. I suggest you look at the historical facts of situations like that.
To which historical facts of which situations "like that" do you refer?
Have you not seen the historical documentaries Mad Max and The Road Warrior?

it may not be zombies walking around with arms extended dragging a foot trying to eat your brains, but what about a major pandemic where you can't even be in close proximity to some large group like that.....are zombies possible, no but is an outbreak of something super nasty like a variation of H7N5, spread like the flu, lives in the air, and no cure ....makes you think
I stopped watching after they killed off Shane, if we had Johnny " the Punisher " Bernthal at the helm it might have made for a better series ......did we ever find out whether baby Judith, belonged to Rick or Shane ??
With the liberal undertones and firearm inaccuracies ignored its good IMO.
The never officially say, but Rick acknowledges that Judith isnt his.
There's many good epsiodes in the following seasons.
Watching on Netflix vs. Cable makes it more tolerable for me. I can pick and choose by fast forwarding thru dull episodes.
For me though, it doesnt always have to be action packed. I like majority of their characters, even the bad guys like Merle. Michael Rooker was spot on when portraying Merle. Perfect depiction of what I could see as a white trash warlord/villan in the apocolypse.

All over the American frontier. The siege of Boonesborough is just one example. try reading some non-PC American history and suppressing the Hollywood BS your mind has been marinated in.

Try not marinating your mind in whatever it is that makes you insult people without knowing a damn thing about them and their educational background.
Then try answering my question about examples of situations "when civilization falls" that are somewhat more relevant than a blockhouse fort on the frontier fighting off an Indian attack, in which the hero who saved the settlers was later accused by his senior commander and some of the very people he saved of collaborating with the enemy. Nobody's civilization "fell apart" before the Indian attack at Boonesborough.
