Just finished watching the premiere. Wow, that was phenomenal. I love the zombie movie genre so I may be a bit biased but this show is going to be epic. Well acted, interesting story lines and so much character development already. The "coming up this season" they showed afterwards looked so good. Finally have a new show Im excited about.

Anyone else watch? What did you think?

Anyone thinking about it, I recommend it.

Oh CJ. I love it when you turn into a TV/film critic.

[PatrickRyan]

It was pretty awesome! The lead actor is very sexy as well

AMC has another great show on their hands

[NyCPsU]

Yeah, I havent watched any of the other AMC shows but I hear they are all fantastic. I defintely want to get into both Rubicon and Mad Men. When I have some extra time I will give them a shot. Breaking Bad is supposed to be great too but this subject matter doesnt really interest me.

[matthias]

the show will start in Germany on Friday, 5th November
and i will watch it, i hope it is good

[Crazy Canuck]

AMC is totally worth paying for. I haven't watched this yet, but I will on my day off.

I haven't seen it yet, saw commercials all weekend though. I'll have to check it out this week!

[G-Ha]

I only happened upon this show by accident last night because nothing else was on. I'm glad I did, though, and will definitely keep watching.

So many seal of approvals that I have to start watching

[Scotso]

I love the Zombie genre, too. This was a little derivative, but still very well done and much better than I anticipated it would be. Definitely one of the best new shows I've seen in a long time.

'Walking Dead' Delivers AMC Its Biggest Ever Series-Premiere Audience


Zombies brought life to AMC's ratings Sunday night.

The network received its best original-series premiere numbers ever, with Frank Darabont sci-fi/drama "The Walking Dead" averaging 5.3 million viewers during its 90-minute Halloween-night premiere.

To put that number in perspective, season 4 of the network's flagship show, "Mad Men," debuted to an average of 2.9 million viewers in August.

Meanwhile, "Rubicon," the suspense drama AMC premiered over the summer, averaged just 2 million viewers out of the gate.

The heavily promoted "Walking Dead" also delivered an audience of 3.6 million 18-49-year-olds, making it the best series-premiere in that target demo for all of cable in 2010.

"It's a good day to be dead," said AMC president Charlie Collier. "We are so proud of this series, its depth of storytelling and the remarkable talent attached."

It was a win all around for the network, which used the zombie-themed post-apocalyptic original series to promote its annual weeklong "Fearfest" lineup of horror-movie presentations.

AMC Has a Lot on the Line With 'The Prisoner'Of course, big premiere ratings are one thing, but AMC -- now under the creative watch of Joel Stillerman -- has high creative bar to clear in order to replace signature, aging originals like "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad."

So far, Stillerman -- who replaced former network creative chief Rob Sorcher, now at the Cartoon Network -- has had middling success launching new shows, with mini-series remake "The Prisoner" flatlining last fall and "Rubicon" debuting to a largely buzzless summer.

Can "Walking Dead" maintain its high viewer levels post-Halloween night, and without ample promotional spending -- which, among other things, paid for extras in cities all over the world to don makeup and dress as zombies?

And perhaps more important to AMC's sizable brand prestige, can a derivative series -- which is based on a comic book and plays almost exactly like Danny Boyle's 2002 hit "28 Days Later" -- win Emmys?

We'll see in the coming weeks.

Is it good?

What recent shows can you relate Walking Dead with?

There haven't been any shows like this.

I was afraid you'd say that

Judging by many here, it's worth the watch.
Maybe I'll tune in too.

[NyCPsU]

Wow, it did so well in the ratings. Thats good news and everyone I talked to today that watched it loved it. That being said most people who gave it a chance are probably already into the genre itself or were in the mood for a good scare as it was Halloween. Hopefully it continues to do well.
