The ultra-violent seventh season opener of the AMC zombie drama Sunday night delivered 17 million viewers and an incredible 8.4 rating among adults 18-49.
That’s a bigger demo rating than NBC’s Sunday Night Football – let alone any other mortal series on the air. Over the last couple weeks, the closest scripted shows to being competitive was CBS’ The Big Bang Theory and Fox’s Empire with a comparatively puny 3.5 rating each.
But how did TWD compare to its own legacy of insanely high record-breaking ratings? Negan and Lucille swung for the fences and just barely fell short of the drama’s all-time high – the season 5 premiere – which still stands as the show’s biggest overnight rating with 17.3 million viewers and an 8.8 rating. AMC expects the ratings will a new record once more forms of viewing are added.
Interestingly, the rating was up 22 percent from the season 6 finale – you know, the one whose cliffhanger annoyed so many fans who swore they were going to quit watching the show?

Better than lazily doing the same 3 dance moves and randomly pulling that constipated face she does. fRih was tragic at the VMAs! Even Knee out-shadowed her!

The dancehall set was better than beyonce's performance. Live singing and dancing, something beyonce has never done.
