‘The Walking Dead’ Continues to Trample Social-TV Competition
Posted in: Uncategorized
In last week’s chart tallying the top TV shows on entertainment check-in service GetGlue, AMC’s “The Walking Dead” lumbered to the top of the TV check-ins chart. This week it’s held its ground, but could an even spookier returning series supplant it in the coming weeks?
Scroll down below the graphic for notes and context.
AMC’s “The Walking Dead” takes the stop spot for the second week in a row, despite posting almost half of the check-ins it earned during last week’s season-premiere frenzy. The show, which began its third season on Oct. 14 to a series-record 10.9 million viewers, also dipped slightly ratings-wise in the second episode but still managed a healthy 9.5 million viewers this week. The show’s phenomenal success, along with acclaim for AMC’s “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad,” has helped give cable execs new confidence in original cable programming at a critical time for smaller networks trying to distinguish themselves.
