Dukes of hazzard tv series

After all the hype, the Season 6 cliffhanger finale and the double death of the Season 7 opener, nobody expected The Walking Dead to return this year at record heights, even if the AMC blockbuster was celebrating its 100th episode. So Sunday’s season opener, “Mercy,” took a double-digit ratings dive and met expectations, so to speak. The Season 8 premiere of the zombie apocalypse series snagged 11.4 million total viewers and 6.5 million adults 18-49 for a 5.0 rating. That’s down 40% in the demo and 33% in total audience from the Season 7 opener of October 23, 2016 . When some straggler adjustments are made, the Season 7 debut is virtually even with TWD’ s Season 5 opener for an all-time season high. Overall, with a slight 5% uptick in viewers and 1% in the key demo over the latter part of Season 7 averages, the Season 8 premiere is the show’s fourth-best debut yet. Eight seasons in, TWD can still hold its head high that for the past six years it is and remains … [Read more...] about ‘The Walking Dead’ Ratings Down From 2016 Series High In Season 8 Debut

Ginny & Georgia Season 2 has officially been dethroned from its No. 1 spot on the Netflix Top 10. Lockwood & Co. , which debuted on January 27, took its place with 39.4M hours viewed for the week of January 30 to February 5. But, Ginny & Georgia is still posting some impressive numbers, coming in just below Lockwood & Co. despite having been on the streamer for weeks. With the additional 38.1M hours viewed last week, the second installment of the series has officially entered the all-time Most Popular English TV list at No. 10. According to Netflix , Season 2 of Ginny & Georgia has tallied 504.8M hours viewed since it premiered on January 5. Season 2 of the series held steady on the Top 10 at No. 1 for four weeks and reached the Top 10 in 88 countries. Season 1 of Ginny & Georgia is also still tracking in the Top 10, riding the coattails of its successor. The season sits at No. 4 on last week’s chart with another 22.5M hours viewed. … [Read more...] about ‘Ginny & Georgia‘ Season 2 Enters Netflix’s Most Popular TV List At No. 10; ‘Lockwood & Co.’ Takes Top Weekly Spot

On the surface, it may not seem the most appropriate Valentine’s Day gift, but if you are as in love with rock’n’roll and storytelling from the likes of Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger , and Terence Winter , then HBO ’s Vinyl is a TV kiss you don’t want to miss. Debuting on February 14 with a two-hour pilot directed by the Oscar winner, Vinyl , as I say in my video review above, literally and figuratively rocks. And yes, from its NYC circa 1973 mean streets to blasting the New York Dolls, drugs and a body in the trunk of a car, you could call this 10-episode season GoodRecordFellas – in the best way. With its once-in-a-lifetime behind-the-camera trio and power chord-strong cast led by Boardwalk Empire alum Bobby Cannavale as struggling and stormy label boss Richie Finestra, Vinyl is a near note-perfect swaggering re-creation of a time when the misfit-attracting music biz was at the center of American culture and at its most influential. Still, it is also a … [Read more...] about ‘Vinyl’ Review: Martin Scorsese & Mick Jagger’s HBO Series Rocks

With a good-ish portion of Season 1’s cast gone, and a somewhat sunnier reboot, the Season 2 opener of HBO ’s rapture-drama The Leftovers averaged 713,000 total and 413,000 demo viewers Sunday in Live+Same Day ratings for its time-slot premiere. On June 29, 2014, the series premiere of the high-concept post-rapture drama pulled in 1.8M viewers in its 10 PM slot on a Sunday. (Damon Lindelof‘s The Leftovers originally had been set to debut June 15 of that year , following the Season 4 finale of Game Of Thrones . But when the it took an unexpected hiatus after Episode 6, with HBO calling it “a short hiatus to prep our final episodes”), it lost that cushy launch platform, instead getting slotted after an episode of True Blood.) That difference between its S1 launch and S2’s starter is a precipitous 60% drop. HBO has, for some time, declined to discuss L+SD ratings, arguing, as do many other TV networks, the stats are irrelevant in today’s viewing environment. Others … [Read more...] about ‘The Leftovers’ Opens Season 2 With Early 713K Tuned In To Premiere In L+SD

SPOILER ALERT: This story contains details of the February 14 Season 6 midseason return of The Walking Dead There was good news and declining news for the explosive and brutal midseason return of The Walking Dead on Sunday. The zombie apocalypse blockbuster didn’t have to face the potential demo drain of the Grammy Awards this year, with the declining CBS hootenanny moved to Monda y. However, even if the high-scoring NBA All-Star Game and the debut of the Martin Scorsese-helmed Vinyl from HBO weren’t factors, the AMC series took a hit. Not that a lot of that hit came from the HBO opener. Vinyl , the drama series about the record industry of the early and decadent 1970s, drew 764,000 viewers for the premium cabler for its 9-10:54 pM ET premiere. That’s no Game Of Thrones obviously, but OK bordering on soft for an HBO debut. The opener is just a little up from what the Season 2 debut of The Leftovers pulled in on October 4 last year in a big drop from … [Read more...] about ‘Walking Dead’ Ratings Down In Midseason Return; ‘Vinyl’ Starts OK

There was an attempt at new allegiances, explosive highway antics and a visit from Negan’s Saviors on the Season 7 winter return of The Walking Dead on February 12. Along with that came good ratings news for the zombie apocalypse series. The Greg Nicotero-directed “Rock In The Road’”episode Sunday pulled in 12 million total viewers with 7.3 million in the adults 18-49 demo for a 5.7 rating. Facing the Grammys for the first time in two years, the AMC show based on the Robert Kirkman-created comics was up 13% in overall sets of eyeballs compared to its winter finale of December 11, 2016 which faced Sunday Night Football . Among the key demo, TWD rose 12% against the “Hearts Still Beating” eighth episode of Season 7 late last year. That’s the first time a midseason return of TWD has been up from the winter finale since Season 4 came back from its two-month and one-week break on February 9, 2014. After a season that so far has seen double-digit declines for … [Read more...] about ‘The Walking Dead’ Ratings Rise From Midseason Finale In Winter Break Return

There was death, terror, a horde of Walkers and of course millions of viewers on Sunday. The Season 6 midseason finale of The Walking Dead was watched by 14 million total viewers, with 8.9 million among the adults 18-49 demographic for a 7.02 rating. The numbers for the November 29 episode are down 5% among total viewers and 7% in the key demo from the record-breaking Season 5 midseason finale of November 30 last year – which means this year was the second-highest-rated TWD midseason finale in the blockbuster show’s history after the 2014 winter finale. Week-to-week, the highest-rated TWD of this season after the October 11 premiere was up 6% in both categories from its November 22 show, which was up 3% from the week before. Unlike last year’s winter finale, TWD did not take down Sunday Night Football in the demo, a fate it has achieved far fewer times this season. Sunday was also the night that saw Super Bowl champs the New England Patriots lose their first … [Read more...] about ‘The Walking Dead’ Ratings Steady With Record-Breaking 2014 Midseason Finale

SPOILER ALERT: This story contains details of tonight’s Season 6 midseason return of The Walking Dead The Walking Dead ‘s midseason return tonight had all the drama, spine-chillers and shockers that most series would save for a season finale. Back for the second part of its sixth season, AMC ’s original zombie apocalypse blockbuster finally unleashed one of the most wrenching twists out of the Robert Kirkman comic series on which it is based – and we’re not talking about the arrival of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan with his barb-wired baseball bat, yet. With explosive results and at great cost, tonight’s Greg Nicotero-directed “No Way Out” picked right up from the post-credits scene of last fall’s winter finale as Negan’s gang make their armed and threatening presence known to Norman Reedus’ Daryl plus Abraham and Sasha, who barely escaped with their lives. As the core survivors remained scattered, Rick Grimes, some of his group and a few of the residents of … [Read more...] about ‘The Walking Dead’ EP Gale Anne Hurd Eyeballs Midseason Shocker, Where Season 6 Is Going & More ‘Fear The Walking Dead’

The walkers claimed another one of the survivors last night on the midseason return of the AMC zombie apocalypse blockbuster and the spinoff of that sleazeball lawyer from Breaking Bad premiered with some bite too with the biggest series demo debut in cable history. Coming so soon after the death of Beth Greene in the midseason finale of November 30 last year, it was harsh blow for Rick Grimes and the rest of the gang on The Walking Dead . A great loss in terms of narrative, that is. In terms of ratings, last night saw another big result for the series based on the Robert Kirkman created comics, though it was just short of a high. Sunday’s Walking Dead was watched by 15.6 total million viewers and 10.129 million among adults 18-49. That demo result is just 539,000 behind what the special post Super Bowl episode of NBC’s The Blacklist pulled in on February 1. In an episode that saw the remaining survivors heading to Virginia as well as plethora of past dead … [Read more...] about ‘Better Call Saul’ Debut Ratings Break Cable Records, ‘Walking Dead’ Returns Steady
