Oh no only a 4.9 rating. Time for AMC to cancel this flop.
It’s flopping. 4.9 is terrible now. Cancel asap.
GO RHOA!!!!! RHOBH was great last night too!
Only 4.9 for TWD? The last episode was incredible, felt like a season final
please don’t cancel the walking dead 4.9 is very good
The repeat rating of TWD would be a hit let alone the new ep rating.
Boo! That episode deserved more than a 4.9. One of the best hours of TV ever! It was totally nerve wracking! RIP all those who died (Not naming names in case of spoilers)
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Walking Dead rise next week after that amazing episode!
@Steve the last thing you have to worry about is a Walking Dead cancellation. This show will run for a very long time.
I think Walking Dead will go up next week based on the strength of that episode. I want to see where it settles in for an average viewership. Maybe the Natgeo special hurt it a little, but who really knows.
When will Homeland catch Dexter? Now within two points.
I don’t know why people would rather watch Dexter than Homeland but a .8 is pretty good.
@Nick
Please post the WWE Main Event, Saturday Morning Slam and AM Raw numbers again.
Thanks!
What airs at 10pm, is that a repeat of the same episode of the walking dead? in which case, bloody hell, that’s insane considering it’s a repeat!
So far for the 6.0 prediction and the “beating TBBT easily” for Walking Dead.
Can we get ratings for “Nicki Minaj: My Truth” on Sunday. It was on E! at 10:30EST. Thanks.
Wasn’t this the first episode with Dish viewers?
Walking Dead has only beaten TBBT 3 of the 4 weeks it has aired. I imagine it will beat it a few more times before the season finishes.
The Walking Dead will shoot up next week after Sundays episode.
Nevermind I’m Canadian I don’t understand.
