The Walking Dead broke ratings records again
As night must follow day and zombie must follow man, so too must the season premiere of The Walking Dead be followed by reports of shattered ratings records. This year the debut of the AMC’s show fifth season pulled in 17.3 million viewers, which is around a million more viewers than watched the fourth season premiere, the last time it was breaking records. Some 11 million of those were adults 18 to 49, giving it an 8.7 rating in that demo—and putting it in the running to be the most-watched television anything of the week.
