Is anyone else bothered by this?

Nope. Then I'd have to say something about a guy who falls into a pit of Z's and comes out without a scratch, or people so close to a nuclear detonation being able to out run it, or why the Blasters aren't radio active, or how everyone manages to keep their teeth so white, or... this is one of those shows you just sit back and enjoy the crazy. :-)

You are way over thinking this show. If you want realism, Daryl Dixon from TWD universe hasn't showered since season 3. I think TWD does a pretty good job of realism, even if the writing has been subpar the last few seasons.

Or where do they come up with the endless supply of bullets by the next show? I don't care, it's is a fun show.

Did you ever see Lost. Same issue, people stuck on an island with never ending make-up artists on standby, nice grromed facial hair etc.

But then again... When you see Hammond and Murphy for the first time at Camp Blue Sky, they are both scruffy looking... and Murphy looks like hell. Addy, Mack, Doc, Warren and Garnett have all been living in a safe place, where they can burn candles and sing songs. It's not to farfetched to think that you would colour your hair if you find the products, just to keep some feeling of normality.
Samt goes with Escorpion. The Zeros live in a pretty safe place. So it takes less effort for them to maintain their clothes, and it also shows confidence and authority, the fact that you can do something so trivial as care about your looks in an apocalypse sends a message that you have the skills to survive. So much that you can waste time shining your shoes.

I noticed that, but then everyone has perfect eyebrows on TWD, too. I do hate that super fake maroon hair color she sports. So ugly. I do like how they have a very diverse cast of characters. I quite like the show.

What about Warren with her weave and her perm. As a black woman u can tell you we have to do are hair regularly (every 4-6wks) to keep it looking presentable unless it's natural like Sasha's on twd.

The Zeros being all well groomed and sporting costumes didn't bother me at all. They were portrayed as having enough control of their surroundings that small amenities weren't a problem.

As for grooming. Each episode covers days in an hour. They don't have jobs to get to. Free crap lying around everywhere. You think they don't have time to groom a little?

Same goes for Lost. All they had was time. Lost's biggest mistake wasn't a well-kept beard. It was time travel - hastily introduced gods with no direction - inexplicably violent "good guys"- Taking Gilligan's Island to 11 by having entire communities not introduced until years in on the same island, then killing them all in one episode - and I could go on for a long time.

I was talking to my sister about the hair color. I think you find any hairy women, because you'll have a hard time getting an actress who is plucked and waxed to sprout a hair. lol Where an actor regularly shaves. Easier for them to look ragged.
