'Walking Dead' Delivers Big for AMC; 'Better Call Saul' Sets Debut Record
Posted in: Uncategorized
AMC’s “The Walking Dead” on Sunday night did its usual job of devouring everything in its path, as the show’s midseason premiere scared up typically overwhelming ratings.
According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, last night’s hiatus-busting installment of “The Walking Dead” delivered 15.6 million total viewers and an 8.0 in the all-important adults 18-49 demo, edging the Nov. 30 midseason finale (7.6) by 5%.
The 8.0 rating translates to a staggering 10.1 million members of the advertiser-coveted demo. By way of comparison, the highest-rated scripted broadcast series, CBS’s “The Big Bang Theory” drew a 5.4 in the 18-49 demo in its highest-rated episode of the current TV season. That’s about 3.2 million targeted viewers shy of what “The Walking Dead” delivered last night.
