Despite bowing to immense fanfare on Halloween, the show has refused to relent in the ratings.<\/p>\n<p>*<i>Note:  AMC initially reported the premiere&#8217;s adults 18-49 rating as a 3.2, which would eclipse the 2.8 for this week.  That number was apparently derived from an unconventional calculation, given the fact that the first episode averaged only 3.6 million viewers in A18-49 (compared to 3.7 million this week).<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;The Walking Dead&quot; Ratings Rise Again, Show Continues Hot Streak<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"After two weeks of showing ratings steadiness, AMC&#039;s &quot;The Walking Dead&quot; suddenly rose to a new high Sunday, scoring a series-best 5.6 million viewers for\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/29\/the-walking-dead-ratings-rise-again-show-continues-hot-streak\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"&quot;The Walking Dead&quot; Ratings Rise Again, Show Continues Hot Streak\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"After two weeks of showing ratings steadiness, AMC&#039;s &quot;The Walking Dead&quot; suddenly rose to a new high Sunday, scoring a series-best 5.6 million viewers for\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/29\/the-walking-dead-ratings-rise-again-show-continues-hot-streak\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-11-30T03:57:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2010-11-30T04:01:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/view1.picapp.com\/pictures.photo\/image\/10126654\/actor-andrew-lincoln-and\/actor-andrew-lincoln-and.jpg?size=234&imageId=10126654\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/29\/the-walking-dead-ratings-rise-again-show-continues-hot-streak\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/29\/the-walking-dead-ratings-rise-again-show-continues-hot-streak\/\",\"name\":\"\\\"The Walking Dead\\\" Ratings Rise Again, Show Continues Hot Streak\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2010-11-30T03:57:28+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2010-11-30T04:01:25+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"After two weeks of showing ratings steadiness, AMC's \\\"The Walking Dead\\\" suddenly rose to a new high Sunday, scoring a series-best 5.6 million viewers for\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/29\/the-walking-dead-ratings-rise-again-show-continues-hot-streak\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
