Social Scoreboard: Week of October 6

By Adam Flomenbaum 

Social TV fans: ‘Scandal’ finally has some competition. Season 5 of ‘The Walking Dead’ premiered last night, and Twitter was all over it. 494,000 unique authors composed 1,320,000 tweets about the show, reaching a unique audience of 7.47 million people, according to Nielsen’s Weekly Twitter TV Ratings.

FX’s ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’ came in second place, and according to Canvs just over 25% of the tweets contained emotional reactions. Top-of-the-chart staple ‘Scandal’ came in third, and ‘WWE Monday Night RAW’ (The Rock HAS COME BACK) and ‘Dancing With the Stars’ rounded out the top 5. Not to be looked over, ‘The Voice’ once again made two appearances on the list with airings on back-to-back nights.
