The Walking Dead smashes the Sunday night competition with a record 16.1 million viewers

[NewJeffCT]

wow - beating out Sunday Night Football, and getting almost 6 million more viewers than the final episode of Breaking Bad.

The Walking Dead kicked off its fourth season on Sunday night -- continuing the AMC series' record-setting trend with more highs and blowing all nonsports competition out of the water.

Averaging 16.1 million viewers during its inaugural 9 p.m. broadcast, the series was up more than 5 million from last October's 10.9 million opener. Among adults 18-49, The Walking Dead averaged 10.4 million viewers. That's an 8.3 rating in the key demo, making it bigger than any broadcast series this fall and even stronger than last night's competition from Sunday Night Football. With adults 25-54, The Walking Dead saw another high with 8.8 million viewers.

6. She was so much fun to watch this week.

Damn, she even laughed.

She can also swing a sword.

And ride a horse.

4. I don't watch it ....

I don't get the fascination with Zombies.

Next thing you know they'll be allowed to marry.

5. It isn't about the Walkers.

It is about how the people try to make it in a walker world.

Hell, it makes my life look a breeze.
