Bigger than Mad Men and Breaking Bad? Really?

I like it and I hope it comes back.

:hmm: Good question.

To google!

Walking dead has an average of 5.24 millions viewers (high of 9 millions with Final Episode of season 2)
Breaking Bad has an average of ~1.5 millions (with an high of 3 millions in season 5)
Mad Men has an average of ~2.5 millions (with an high of of 3.5 millions in season 5)
Hell on Wheels has an average of ~2,75 millions (with an high 4.5 millions in season 1)

Breaking Bad isn't as big as you would think, eh.

BB averaged 2.6m in season 5 according to this

Yeah.  Averages are a really bad way to compare all those shows.  Plenty of shows have mediocre ratings for their first season only to build a following and expand upon it.  The Walking Dead's second season had significantly higher ratings than its first, for example, whereas Hell on Wheels has dropped viewership rather consistently.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Finally saw Revolution and Walking Dead.

Revolution
I'm beginning to like that show.  I was totally expecting a rescue plan to work, and it didn't.  :)  I like surprises.
However, I wonder why he didn't simply unhook the locomotive, or the wagons containing the militia soldiers first.  It's not like they have real time communications.  And given the blast the bomb made, I wonder how it could possibly have destroyed all of the train, ammunitions, guns and people on board.  Sure, it would have derailed.  A few people would have been killed and injured, but it's not critical.

Anyway.  TV isn't always about what makes sense :P  Lost never made any sense, yet it was fun :)


Walking dead

Some of the zombies were in a catatonic state, until food happenned to pass by and they grabbed it.  It could be the zombies in the cell were also in that state, only awakening when food came nearby.  It also seems zombies can and will feed on each other if food is scarce.  Or an half eaten guy reanimated.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Isn't that why GF provided for overall and for their top season?

Seemed to me that he was providing a peak episode, not a peak average.  TWD didn't average 9 million in its second season.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

The others are peak episodes as well, not seasons.

Yeah it gets all the states that were already shitty pre-crisis. Not sure if that makes them better or less prepared. :D

Without A/C, though, I can see the majority of the people in most of those states staging a mass exodus and heading north.  No way would I stick around for a summer without it.
