Ratings: “Walking Dead” Crosses the Line, Drops Below 3 Million Viewers, Loses 1 Million in the Key Demo

Is AMC trying to kill “The Walking Dead” on purpose?

On Sunday total viewership crossed a magic line and dropped below 3 million to 2.927 million viewers. The key demo dropped to .92, as in 920,000 or less than a million.

This means that in three episodes they’ve lost almost 600,000 fans. And they’ve lost a million in the age group of 18-49.

They’re walking, and they’re dead.

This is a lower rating than a daytime soap opera, and begs the question: is anyone in charge?
