And if you want to complain about something, the fact that there's only 1 black guy in the group when Atlanta is 60% black should be the first thing that stands out (oh, and anything that Lori does is a viable complaint too...)
If you hated the drawls in the first season, then you're really gonna hate the 2nd season when they spend all of their time on a farm with an extremely drawly farmer and his extremely drawly kids.
Personally, I like the authenticity - America is not California, no matter how hard Hollywood tries to force that notion upon us.

Exactly. No, not everyone in say, Atlanta has a thick accent. But I don't think these people are even from there (wasn't it an outlying town)? A lot of people in Georgia do have a twinge of an accent. For the most part, there is no "neutral" American accent. Linguists claim that Mid-Westerners come the closest.
And as Baseline said, they don't all have a "drawl" anyway. Carol, Lori, T-Dog, Andrea, Carl, and Glenn clearly don't.
