Holy crap! (And I am now fully expecting a season four renewal any minute now.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteThose are HUGE numbers!
I love this news!! I wouldn't have considered such high numbers, especially since DISH dropped AMC. Season 4 renewal indeed! Come on already! :D
ReplyDelete5.8 A18-49 Huge and well deserved.
ReplyDeletewith more episodes hopefully
ReplyDeleteLOL- I was present and accounted for!
ReplyDeleteCongrats AMC .....
i've been wating for this!
ReplyDeleteAwsome! Couldn't be more happier!
Imagine if AMC was still on Dish, the numbers would've doubled
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! I thought for sure they would drop without DISH. I just wondered how far they would drop. lol. Not far at all. JK. Awesome premiere. Season 4 here we come!!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing news when considering the loss of DISH viewers!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how this will effect DISH's leverage in its battles with AMC... I would think AMC executives are rejoicing and happy as can be.
although i have a lot of fun with ratings and predictions and stuff, most days i hate them for making me always be on edge concerning my favorite shows. in the rare days like this, i absolutely adore them. GO THE WALKING DEAD, this is sooooo deserved!
ReplyDelete5.8 18-49 rating puts it above ANYTHING else currently on tv. Out of this world...
ReplyDeletewhat problem did AMC have with Dish exactly?
ReplyDeleteAMC killed all scripted programs on both cable and broadcast with The Walking Dead last night. Nice job, zombies.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW...i think Robert Kirkman better start writing some more comics or write them faster cause i think this show is gonna be around for a LONG time, lol.....im sure all these Dish customers have switched to DirecTv or cable by now.....☺....
ReplyDeleteDISH Network recently removed AMC from their channel line up... Some kind of contract dispute or money dispute I think, but I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteHere are a couple artciles with details:
