"AMC has struck gold with its hit drama, The Walking Dead. The independent cable television company has created much more than a compelling zombie story. In fact, The Walking Dead is the highest rated show on television among the much chased after 18 to 49 year old demographic, according to The New York Times....... Technology is playing a role in the shows success. Alexia Quadrani, a media analyst at JPMorgan, gives Netflix at least some of the credit...... AMCs willingness to release its content onto video streaming services like Amazon Prime means viewers have a cheap and convenient way to access that content without resorting to piracy..... People tune in for the characters, show producer David Alpert told Business Insider. They are emotionally invested in these people, the dilemmas, and moral choices. I think if we did this today as just a straight zombie action show I dont think anybody would watch. Or, there would be a very small audience; just the hardcore fans.Either way, the success of shows like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones is changing the equation for big networks and smaller cable channels alike. As Forbes Jeff Bercovi reported recently, some of the big networks are looking at the future of their broadcast status with much less certainty than before. And, thats not what we do.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
it is a tv show i thought it was live stream
They just brought in a whole bunch of new zombie snacks.
actually i like breaking bad more than the walking dead. i just wish they would have not split season five into a year long split.
BING
Please let me know if you would like on or off The Walking Dead ping list.
As a character, it is good to see a southern redneck treated with great respect. Also that he is allowed to be compassionate, reasoned, and a true leader in his own way instead of the stereotypical stupid gun nut. Added bonus that he has no gun, instead relying on God given skills to survive.Daryl is doing a great service for rural southern men.
Breaking Bad is killing me. I’m dying for it to start back up, but not really, because then it will be over for good.

Thanks for the ping CJ!!
Any time! :-)
Awwwwww how adorable. Darryl has a new toy to play with =) I want one of those =)
I think Rick needs to give each elderly person their own personal cell (HEHE) and lock them up and if they are fine in the morning let them out and when bed time rolls around time for a lock up. Repeat and Rinse to ensure the safety of others. Yeah if they don’t do something with those elderly folks that place will be Human Sushi Bar.
Do you have an iPhone?
I love that picture! I’ll share it with my daughter in the morning, sure she’ll want to Instagram it to all her friends! Her teenage friends LOVE Daryl and Walking Dead! (Me too!)
She’ll be happy! :D
