Sunday, October 12th couldn't get here fast enough. The season five premiere of THE WALKING DEAD not only brought new episodes of the #1 show on TV, it came breaking records. The episode commanded 17.3 million viewers and a healthy 8.7 rating in Adults 18-49, becoming the highest rated episode of the series. It was the highest rated program of the week, in the young demographic, than anything else on TV, including broadcast TV.  AMC is projecting out that once Live+7 day ratings are added in, the premiere episode will record at least 22 million viewers.

Following the drama series was the companion talk show, TALKING DEAD. It held onto 6.9 million viewers and a 3.5 demo rating, earning the #3 spot of the weekly chart. That makes it the top reality program of the week.

Overshadowed by THE WALKING DEAD, AMERICAN HORROR STORY had a strong premiere of its own. The FX series grabbed 6.1 million viewers and a 3.1 demo rating, placing 5th on the week, and topping fellow FX drama SONS OF ANARCHY.
