Are you kidding? The Walking Dead has no story just bunch of boring people killing walkers…
This show is a shame for good writing… I guess MUST people like that… they don’t have to think.
Thank GOD we have HBO!
@Maxine: So, you have seen every seen every single episode of something you perceive to be abysmal! Stop trolling around.
*MOST
Homeland gets great ratings for Showtime. Premium cable has a fundamentally different business model than basic cable.
That said, it is a bit weird that Homeland gets nearly twice as many viewers in the UK, where it is shown on broadcast television, than in the US.
Did I hurt your feelings? You know it’s the truth: Dexter sucks. Stop being a fanboy.
The walking Dead is bouncing back and forth each week. 5.8,5.1,5.4,4.9,5.6, and now 4.9. It keeps gaining and losing a million nor so total viewers every other week. Each of the six weeks of this season are the six highest rated episodes of the series though.
@ Joshua, really? That’s not all the shows about, the walkers serve as the backdrop. Anybody who has watched TWD knows there is a lot more to the show than boring people killing walkers.
@nikki best is the only one that counts…
Don’t worry. Joshua is just another frustrated virgin. He only likes HBO shows ’cause he can see some titty action there.
You again jT? Sit down and suck some more. Maybe afterwards we’ll watch Homoland.
Yeahhhhhh sponge bob are in the 3.0 views
I Love Spongebob squarepants
The Walking Dead was slow last week, and it was likely it was going to decrease…see my comment from last week. Next week, however, the ratings will go up. A lot was set in motion in the most recent episode.
I think Max went under the knife and is now Maxine.
LOL BigHouse. I blurted out laughing. A drastic change in tone from others. Spongebob ftw though.
Nope, we’re not the same. I actually like AHS :p
I hate Merle! I hope walkers tear him apart on the mid season finale. He’s disgusting.
omg i hate Big BANG twg should be higher
I don’t think it is ok for a man to hit a woman but, this maxine character deserves a good beating. That is all.
I am disappointed that The Walking Dead went down, but Dexter is doing quite nicely and it was a very good episode.
TWD will live forever i hope cuz with these ratings it wont be going anywhere anytime soon and if it stays on this level for the rest of the season AMC should renew it for 2 season or more. and should increase its episodes by alot.
