Not surprised, anyone with cable/dish/whatever who wasn't getting AMC before, was for a couple days prior to the debut.

It was a well-deserved hit, the pilot was excellent.

Wonder what it'll reach when they factor in the 'plus7' or whatever it's called, week of DVR viewings.
I also wonder if the tv show will gain viewers as it goes the way the comic gains readers.

Well, it was Halloween. A good chunk may have just wanted to get in the spirit.

And many of those may tune in to see how it goes... I still haven't watched it. I hope we can watch it tonight.

Great news, would love to see CBR and some of the other sites with reach do a study on whether or not there is a measurable impact on book sales tied into all of these properties.

Congrats to Kirkman, Moore, Adlard, Rathburn and Erik Larsen.
Darabont and co. What a great decision to go TV mini-series instead of trying to cram all of this story into a 2 hour movie.
Watchmen should have gone this route. Anyways..thanks for the entertaining TV."Until the Lion writes his own story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter." - African proverbs

Well written, well paced, well performed, well shot and, well, very good. Both suitably downbeat and immediately superior to 99% of everything else on the box. Congratulations all 'round.
It wouldn't be real if was "perfect", of course, and I thought that the opening flashback scene, though effective for what it was, seemed oddly out of place.
This, at least we now know: it retains the flavour of Kirkman's child while being unique unto itself. (and why is the auto-check flagging "flavour"? seriously...)

If so, I'm just dense or something cause I never read anything stating that when I signed up.

Very happy about this. I've actually never even picked up the comic book, but I love zombie flicks and was really looking forward to watching this series. I hope it stays around for a good, long time. I love the idea of having something zombie-related to look forward to on a weekly basis, especially when it's of such high quality as the first episode of The Walking Dead was.
Great work, AMC!Check out my Hawkman Blog:The Stonechat Museum!
