Afgelopen nacht is in Amerika seizoen drie van The Walking Dead begonnen, en hebben maar liefst 10.9 miljoen Amerikanen hebben gisteren dus zitten kijken. Maar wereldwijd liggen de cijfers waarschijnlijk drie tot vier keer zo hoog aangezien veel fans deze serie massaal downloaden. Nu is te hopen dat het niet zo saai gaat worden als het vorige seizoen, wat wel een fookin soap leek. Carl die maar niet luistert, Lori die loopt te mauwen en een dood kind in een schuur.

According to an AMC press release, it was "the biggest show of the fall season among Adults 18-49." Also, "the 9pm ET premiere garnered 10.9 million viewers and a 7.4 HH rating making it the highest rated episode in series history, and growing more than 50% over last season's premiere. The season 3 premiere now reigns as the biggest telecast for any drama series in basic cable history among all viewers. "The Walking Dead" encored at 10pm with 3.5 million viewers and midnight with 850,000 viewers delivering 15.2 million viewers for the night. In addition, the season two premiere of "Talking Dead" at 11pm attracted 2.1 million viewers, growing 85% over the season one premiere."

So many people on both sides of the camera worked tirelessly on this project, and I thank and congratulate each of them for their amazing contribution," said Charlie Collier, president of AMC.
