Better Off Dead: AMC Zombie Hit Tears Into Sunday Night

Episode 2 of The Walking Dead draws 13.9 million viewers

Like the fence meant to keep out hoards of ravenous Walkers, ratings for AMC’s monster hit The Walking Dead last night sagged a bit but did not buckle.

According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, the second installment of The Walking Dead delivered 13.9 million viewers and a 7.1 rating in the adults 18-49 demo. And while that marked a 14 percent drop in total viewers and a 13 percent decline in the dollar demo, the show remains all but untouchable in its ability to reach younger adults.
