'The Walking Dead' Hits Record 16.1 Mil Viewers, 8.3 in Demo
Quote:
The Walking Dead kicked off its fourth season on Sunday night -- continuing the AMC series' record-setting trend with more highs, blowing all non-sports competition out of the water.
Averaging 16.1 million viewers during its inaugural 9 p.m. broadcast, the series was up more than 5 million from last October's 10.9 million opener. Among adults 18-49, The Walking Dead averaged 10.4 million viewers. That's a 8.3 rating in the key demo, making it bigger than any broadcast series this fall and even stronger than last night's competition from Sunday Night Football.
These ratings... ****, this is television history being written right there. Who would've thought this was even possible. AMC is a basic cable channel after all and those normally don't get these type of HUGE numbers. Just congratz, I just wished it would translate to a better quality of the show.
