For a third consecutive week and the fourth time this season, The Walking Dead has solidly beat Sunday Night Football among adults 18-49. In the sixth episode of its fifth season, the blockbuster AMC series drew a 7.3 rating among the key demo while the New England Patriots’ 42-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts got a 6.2. That’s a 15% spread.

How long before zombie flicks are deemed “racist”, because “zombies” are a proxy for “feral hordes”?

IMHO, Too many sport on TV anyway. The NFL is oversold.

This season of the Walking Dead is probably the best so far.

Unfortunately that was the game on TV along with the St. Louis/Denver. I spent the time mowing up leaves.

TWD is only an hour. Including commercials. Tough to compare that to an NFL game. I love TWD, but if my team was playing, I’d watch TWD online the following day.
