   TWD did great, and Dexter went up from last week. Even the SVU repeat was good.

   I can see fox jumping on the zombie bandwagon and they would be wise to do so considering the fail boat of ideas that have been coming out recently on that network. The question is how watered down will it be as broadcast tv has a tougher set of rules than paid TV. But than again ive seen Family guy on FOX so if a broadcast station was to do it id prefer FOX.

   As for Revoultion NBC please stop making all the characters look like they just stepped out of a Macys! Suppose to be a collapse of society yet they seem like they take 3 showers a day to look that clean!!

   The TWD repeat numbers are crazy. It’s ridiculous AMC is wasting such a monster lead-in on a repeat of the same damn episode.

   Insane numbers for TWD. George Romero should be getting some money for that success.

    B2B ep of Fringe beat the 6p movie on FX. Will they do the same with Mob Doctor? FOX is probably giving their drama’s like Mob Doctor more of a leash now because of the success of FX. The Walking Dead’s success is more than just zombies. You have to give them credit on casting. These actors have made those characters very believable & relatable to the fans. If they had casted say the Grimm actors instead to fill those roles it probably doesn’t do as well in the ratings. What surprises me is that it’s now in it’s 3rd season & the other networks have not tried something in the zombie theme as well.

    Homeland and Dexter baby!!

    Showtime has got a nice one-two punch at least for another year.

    It seems like Network TV is just so boring. I only watch 2 shows on Network TV and that’s OUAT and I kind of like Vegas.

    Ditto the WOWs for TWD. Even the 6pmEST encore of last week’s season premiere bested new episodes of Dexter, Homeland and Boardwalk Empire.

    And Re: Sat AM ratings, what possessed CN to move Star Wars TCW, out of primetime? They were getting roughly 3 million a week on Friday nights.
