AMC should change it’s name and rebrand as TWD and only air once a week
@NICK –
Do you have the BBC America Doctor Who numbers from Sunday? It was a Pat Troughton revisited followed by Tomb of the Cybermen. Started at 8PM I believe.
I know this wont happen, but a Walking Dead West Coast spinoff series set in California would draw big ratings.
@BigBrotherFan yay! 3 more guests for my weekly Girls viewing party!
@jrc1978 hi eye patch did not move, that scene you are talking about he was looking in a mirror. mirrors seem to do that
@Meanie
That’s what I keep saying when people try to defend the ratings of insipid TNT or USA procedural shows with the “it’s cable, a 0.7 is good for cable”. No it’s not when other cable shows can get so much more and when cheap reality shows get 1.3-1.9.
@hillbilly
As far as i understand it, The “old showrunner” made all the episodes for season 3.
@NICK
Do you have ratings for Wicked Tuna? Thanks in advance.
Damn, Shameless is doing good! Nice!
