'Walking Dead' Ratings Dip But Still Strong (6.1 Million Viewers and 8.3 w/ Repeat)

http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/11/01/walking-dead-ratings/

Halloween weekend saw ratings for AMC’s The Walking Dead edge down again. The zombie hit delivered 6.1 million viewers for its 9 p.m. airing, off 9 percent from last week (which was down 8 percent from the show’s second season premiere). Together with its repeat, TWD tallied 8.3 million.

We’re still in normal post-premiere ratings dip territory for the show, which was renewed for a third season last week. Some fans have been getting annoyed with all the angst and speeches, but the ending of Sunday’s episode … that must have woke you up, huh? What do you think of TWD so far?

In other cable ratings news, Starz’ new drama Boss starring Kelsey Grammer took a hit. Airing the same night as Game 7 of the World Series, the show dropped 41 percent its second week, down to 391,000 viewers (and a total of 665,000 if you include its 11 p.m. repeat).

Also: Rosie O’Donnell’s new weekday talk show on OWN fell from its premiere week, yet appears to be settling. Week 2 dropped 23 percent in the ratings to 230,000 viewers, then the third week was basically unchanged. Meanwhile Oprah Winfrey’s repackaged talk show episodes Lifeclass has fared better, hovering around 300,000.

I caught the replay. All i have to say is much better! The first two episodes were lackluster, but things picked up. I was in total shock over the way it ended. Can't wait till next week!

This shit is boring! I don't give a flying fuck about those two annoying bitch ass kids. I hope the little boy dies and I hope they never find the little girl, and if they do find her I hope she's a little zombie whore and they have no choice but to shoot her in the face. The best part of the show was Shane's "Heel Turn."

I gagged at the end of the latest episode, I was not expecting that at all. That final 5 minutes of the show was intense. And why do all crazy people shave their head???? Is that the universal symbol to show others that they're having a mental breakdown?!?!?

Before he shaved they showed a little wound from the struggle.

I remember that, I was just saying. In most shows when people go crazy they shave their heads.

I didn't want to read your guy's comments after you started talking about this past Sunday's show since I need to go watch it now!

The dip is to be expected but I want it to stay as strong ratings wise as possible!
