Latest Episode of The Walking Dead Brings in Poor Audience Rating
On Nov 19, AMC aired their latest episode of The Walking Dead, titled ‘The Big Scary U’.
Unfortunately, the episode had a different take on the public, giving it one of the lowest ratings since an episode that had aired in Season 2 of the series.
Only 7.85 million viewers tuned in from around the world, giving the episode a rating of 3.4 throughout the ages of 18-49. It had just beat the episode that aired March 2012, episode ‘Better Angels’ that only had 6.89 million viewers.
With the season finale airing in the next month, hopefully, AMC’s The Walking Dead will gain more attention.

Game of Thrones Sets New Viewership Record… Again
Episode 7.07 of Game of Thrones “The Dragon and the Wolf” is now the most watched episode of the series.
The season finale drew 12.1 million viewers, almost two million ahead of the previously most watched episode, “Eastwatch.”
The previous season finale broke the same record at the time with 8.9 million viewers, and the finale for the very first season had 3 million viewers.

Game of Throne‘s “Eastwatch” Breaks Show’s Viewership Record
This Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones was nothing less than amazing. We got some big returns, long-awaited reunions, epic meet-ups and a couple of huge revelations.
Maybe that, and the fact that we’re getting closer to the end of this season is what made “Eastwatch” the most viewed Game of Thrones episode to date, with 10.72 million viewers.
The record was previously owned by “The Spoils of War” with 10.2 million viewers, which only held it for seven days, as it aired just over a week ago.
There are only two episodes left of Season 7, and with them being significantly longer than before, we have no doubt “Eastwatch” won’t keep this record for long.
