Would The Walking Dead have been better on HBO?

I got to thinking last night after watching Talking Dead when the series creator made the comment about trying to see how far they could go before the AMC censors made them stop.
Apparently the show was pitched to HBO, and they passed. Would this show have been as superbly done if they added the inevitable cussing and nudity that accompanies most shows on HBO? Would that have taken away from it?

Great, now you've got me thinking about all the scenes where Maggie and Andrea were partially nude.

yes
not only would we have seeb Maggie's glorious boobs, but it would have a bigger budget as well

Is there any show on TV that wouldn't be better on HBO?

We would have seen Maggie's tits at least

The question is absolutely without question YES. Not only from a nudity standpoint, but for censorship purposes. Furthermore, the writing on HBO shows is vastly superior to anything you see on cable networks.

besides nudity. no might even be worse honestly

Imagine American horror story on HBO.
That show pushes the envelope more than the walking dead imo.

Of course it would. But most things would. More money, less restrictions, etc.
And I agree with some that it's not just about tits and cuss words...there's just more leeway in general on pay TV.
I don't have HBO though, so I'm cool with it being on AMC.

I disagree, HBO has a bad habit of terrible side plots in all of it's shows...
This show stays very focused on the group...if you notice that's why season two at the farm was weaker, they tried to ease in drama with a bunch of little petty side stories...they could have done without them and moved the plot along...HBO would have 5 groups by now with dumb stuff going on in three of them

Yes, I also wonder how creepy and awesome American Horror Story would be on HBO

I think on HBO they could have stayed true to the comic. Don't get me wrong, I love the liberties they have taken with the show on AMC. If not for those we would never have met Daryl, but last night was a key example of a point missed by AMC.
The Michonne/Governor dynamic seems a little forced whereas in the comic there was a real reason for the hatred and ridiculous brutality.
Oh and I agree with all Maggie's boobs comments.

Yes. Obviously during the zombie apocalypse there would be alot of "oh shite!"'s and "die mother frickers!"'s going on.
Jk. Kinda.
