   I was spot on with my Walking Dead and Vikings predictions and was only off one tenth on Game of Thrones and Bible.

   @Densino

   Not really a fair comparison since HBO is premium pay cable and in much fewer households than AMC.

   Oh wow, Walking Dead only got a 6.4. I think it’s time they think about wrapping things up, I don’t see it surviving with those ratings. :\

   I wish the news would stop talking about how the bible was so close in ratings to twd, it wasn’t even remotely close where it matters. I guess The Bible should be on cbs.

   and I echo what purple said, you can’t compare talking dead and got due to the premium fee you pay for hbo.

   OMG TWD 6.4….Great for the Bible e GOT

   I’m glad that Mazzarra was fired, as an episode finale was awful..

   Why AMC don’t try a new show after TWD that can hold a bit more audience from TWD?

   Cable shows got decent numbers on a Sunday. A lot of them were above 1.0. Very nice indeed. TB and GOT pulled good numbers despite competing against each other and TWD which continues to be a beast.

    NBC would kill to have those numbers 1.5 and above for most of their shows! LOL.

    @Densino – Ratings don’t matter for HBO; they’re not ad-supported.

    Shame Married to Medicine couldn’t hold on to those premiere ratings.

    @Mickey

    The breaks in between their shows.

    On most networks, a show runs from its start time until the end of the commercial break following it, if any (in other words, until he start of the next show). On premium networks, a show runs from its start time until its end time and the time in between when they run all their promos is rated seperately.

    The Walking Dead finished the season with a 5.5 A18-49 Live+SD average, the highest for a drama since a 5.7 for Grey’s Anatomy in 2008-09.

    Wow, a 6.4 for WD? I don’t think any other series anywhere gets that kind of number. Good for them!

    Game of thrones is the best show this season. HBO air it ALL over the world so even on pay TV is watched from 100 MILLION VIEWERS + in sunday and Monday.

    The 11pm showing was vastly lower than the 9pm tells a little that a lot of people did not want an encore..
