The Walking Dead: Watch Controversial Deleted Scenes Cut From TV
The Walking Dead burst onto the scene in 2010 by opening the series with a haunting sequence. [...]
Dead Babies
Killing kids not something anybody wants to see in any medium. TV show and movies both tend to avoid the subject. Even The Walking Dead dodged the bullet which was shot in Robert Kirkman's comics and saw baby Judith killed during the Governor's raid on the prison in favor of keeping the little one alive and well.
In Season 4, The Walked Dead avoided the topic of dead kids or babies, once again. As Lizzie, Mika, Tyreese, Carol, and Judith marched down the path which would eventually end at Terminus, they discovered a baby carrier on a dead body's back on the side of the train tracks.
Oddly enough, this same episode ended up being the one where Carol was forced to shoot Lizzie in the back of the head after she killed her younger sister. So much for keeping the kids safe!

Michonne and Hershel's captivity by the Governor ultimately lead to the latter losing their head. Their journey to that point was an unpleasant one but with this deleted scene from Episode 4x08 (Too Far Gone), Hershel's final moments were slightly more heroic than we were aware of.
The Governor's henchman Mitch Dolgen got a little out of hand in his discussion with Hershel and Michonne, insulting the wise older man and implying that he might rape the woman. Upon standing up to possibly do so, he was kicked down and then punched by the Governor.
This scene is reminiscent of Season 7, which saw Negan killing his own man after attempting to rape Sasha at the Sanctuary. The episode air in December of 2013, which was right around the time Sash'a comic book counterpart was rescued from rape by Negan. Whether or not there is any relation to the scene being cut from the AMC series in favor of preserving a similar moment for later on is unknown.

While The Walking Dead can get away with some brutal acts of violence on cable, regulations do not permit the series to use foul language.
Of all the characters effect by this while being adapted from the comics to TV, it's Negan who undergoes the most significant changes for censorship. However, Rick Grimes has dropped a few F-bombs in his day, too.
The scene above sees Rick Grimes trapped in a train car at Terminus as shown in the Season 4 finale but when he turns around to motivate his team, the language is a touch less safe for work. It's hardly the only alternate version of a scene which sees the characters using foul language.
