The Walking Dead ratings disaster

JUST

Jesus, is that crap still on? They are wilking the cow a little too much.

to be fair it was one of the worst season premieres i've ever seen in my life

BLEACHED

You can have a series with great characters, but little or no end game (Better Call Saul) or a show with mediocre characters and a defined end game (Game of Thrones), but you can't have a show with mediocre characters and no end game

>season 8
how this show didn't fall off a cliff after the farmhouse season, I'll never know

>milking the cow
I think bing bang theory is at trillion season lol

I'm not very picky, been enjoying the show up until now but really this episode was absolute dogshit.

Whatever is coming out the cows teet sure aint milk now

This show is better than Saul or GoT, though. But not as good as Westworld.

You can only have an audience suspend their disbelief so much. Having a 10 minute chat with neegan in clear view while you have a small army of gun ready to fire at him only to begin and miss every shot made even my normie friends upset.

No surprise, i'm 1 filler episode from dropping it.

Last season was fucking awful, it's pathetic the amount of worthless filler episodes following 2-3 boring side characters.

Dumb fucking show. I tuned in last year to see Glenn die. I couldn't stand his whiny ass.

*rolls eyes*

Apparently on the talking dead they said Rick and co were only using rubber bullets

Neogaf is that way faggot.

...

have you been living under a rock?

Neogaf proverbially imploded, it's all over the web

I can no longer differentiate which dip in standard, which immersion breaking conceit was the absolute demarcation line for dropping it, there have been so many since the beginning, so I felt up nutsack, found out they were still there and just went along for the memes. I had no delusions I was ever watching this show out of a desire to engage in critical discourse or because of its polemical questions of modern society. It was always just the Rick Grimes zombie show that aired in GoT's offseason that I could shitpost about on Sup Forums. But now, the show's shittiness is becoming the central story and that's no fun to shitpost about because there are only so many ways to call something shit before it becoming a circlejerk.

neogaf is back you troll
evilore didnt do nothin

How do I tell if those kinds of posts are """sarcasm""" and """trolling""" and """post-irony""", or actual opinions of people frequenting this board nowadays?
I don't even know anymore.

sup Sup Forums

So it turns out treating your viewers like absolute morons, having fake deaths all the time, ending seasons in cliffhangers, having entire seasons of filler and never delivering on expectations actually makes people DROP your TV show?

This is shocking.

sup neogaf

where do you draw the line though before you stopped fretting, break through to the otherside and started loving the bomb? is every thread going to be like an alocholic anonymous meeting from now on where anons compare notes on when they were abused by a show? it's all so tedious.

my girlfriend is an airhead when it comes to movies. She never catches on to anything. But even she noticed they couldve easily killed negan. Oh well, it's her bad for sticking to this shit for so long. I warned her since season 2 to steer clear of this shit

Well, they have been recycling the same plot again and again for 8 seasons now. Not surprised their ratings are lower

>11.4 million
>still higher rated than 95% of shows on television
>still the highest rated show on Sunday
HOW WILL THEY EVER RECOVER?

The first time I remember being totally infuriated was all the way back in S2

They spent months on Hershel's farm, not just fucking around and arguing about barn zombies, but doing NOTHING to shore up this fence. A couple dozen people all apparently reached silent consensus that this four godamn boards would keep an infinite number of zombies at bay.

After that, remember that time The Governor led his men into the prison and then Rick and the gang came out and shot *near* them, intentionally not hitting them, until Gov got so frustrated that he killed all of his own men himself, 50+ men using one 30 round rifle mag?

The characters never used logic and became huge pussies.

I enjoyed it when Carol became the only one making sense by learning how to defend herself and trying to teach those ways to people. Then they have her do a complete 180 and make her useless.

lol yeah, this isn't a trend for AMC to worry about at all

BUT THATS WRONG!

GoT is no Sopranos for sure, but TWD is Prison Break tier terrible

people watch the worst normie-tier shit, fillers out the ass and people eat it up, literally worse than naruto

This is what happens when you fuck over fans with an unnecessary cliffhanger and then follow it up with a shit season. This is excluding the fact that the season 7 premiere didn't live up to the hundred episode hype. I expect next episode to drop down below 10 million which is something the show hasn't done since season 3 I believe.

> This show is better than Saul

OY VEEEEY THE GOYIM AREN'T BUYING OUR RACE MIXING PROPAGANDA

Quick rundown on farmhouse season? Only watched a few episodes of s1

The thing is that The Walking Dead does have some great characters, but there are too many characters that have either lived too long (Daryl, Carol), aren't developed enough (Jesus, Dwight) or not particularly interesting at all yet still get a good amount of screen time (Tara, Rosita). The show needs to trim the fat and I hope to god it starts sooner than later.

t. Supernatural watcher.

Still great ratings though. They will squeeze that shit as long as they can.

Oh no, what will AMC do? Must suck having the highest rated show on tv!

fear the walking dead keeps getting renewed...look at their numbers. you're a fucking retard if you think that changes anything.

There were no promos for this. I didn't know it started up again and I follow them on FB.

1 season of litteraly nothing on a farm.

I stopped watching when Carol went to live inside a small house outside of the camp for some weird reason.

I suddenly realized the series had just been boring me for more than a season straight.

Unironically asking you guys to give me a quick rundown of last season and spoil me, if it looks somewhat interesting I might watch it.

Shouldn't you guys be supportive of it now, since the normies are tuning out?

Wow. I’ve never seen such terrible fucking taste before. Disgusting.

WHAT? What the actual fucking fuck is this shit? Holy fuck. At least let the audience in on the plan. This is so fucking retarded. Can you provide a link to this info?

Looks like people figured you only need to watch the finale, and even that is only cliffhanger baiting for next seasons finale

Rick, Shane and company go to Hershel's farmhouse.

Hershel keeps a bunch of zombies in the farmhouse thinking he can "find a cure."

Rick and Shane get into an argument over Lori with Shane going "lemme mask you sumthin, how you gonna keep dem safe, the world has changed"

Carol goes looking for Sophia.

Rick and Hershel argue about the zombies, Hershel threatens to throw Rick and his family out but relents

Daryl and Carol go looking for Sophia

Rick and Shane get into an argument over Carl with Shane going "lemme mask you sumthin, how you gonna keep dem safe, the world has changed"

Rick and Hershel argue about the zombies, Hershel threatens to throw Rick and his family out but relents

Shane kills all of Hershel's pet zombies (btw one of them was Sophia, she's been 20 feet away from the group all year)

Rick and Shane get into an argument over the barn zombies with Shane going "lemme mask you sumthin, how you gonna keep dem safe, the world has changed," Rick stabs Shane

A million zombies suddenly get past Hershel's impenetrable three foot wooden fence and eat half the cast, everybody else runs to the prison.

That was the entire year.

Imagine having a dozen grown ass adults, many from working class backgrounds with handy skills, all hang around on an idyllic farm with all the resources they could need.

Then imagine there's a gaping hole in their perimeter fence and just stared at it, again for months, and do nothing about it. Didn't repair it, didn't try to build a new one, didn't improve, nothing. Just squat around existing infrastructure like a bunch of porch monkeys.

They occupy a farmhouse while they launch a search for a missing member of their group

It moves really fucking slowly and destroys the pacing but it has some decent moments and a good finale

It seriously isn't. Let's compare how their other shows have done in their most recent seasons:
>Better Call Saul got a high of 1.85 million
>Comic Book Men had a high of 800k
>Fear the Walking Dead had a high of 3.11 million
>Humans had a high of 720k
>Into the Badlands had a high of 3.44 million
>Preacher had a high of 1.69 million
>Ride with Norman Reedus had a high of 750k
>The Son had a high of 1.92 million
>Talking with Chris Hardwick had a high of 531k.

If The Walking Dead's 11.4 million is something for AMC to worry about, then the network shouldn't even be operating right now.

Shut the fuck up apologist, we'll see the show lose around a million viewers every episode this season, I'm guessing they'll be pulling maybe 4-5 million for the season finale. This show costs far more to produce than every single show you mentioned COMBINED. This show will get maybe one more season of declining ratings before it gets completely axed, I doubt we'll see a season 10

Wow that's amc's current stable? Shit, and I thought hbo was on a decline. One hit wonder.

And yet it STILL has higher ratings than GoT and almost every other show on TV

kek

Most recent GoT got 12.1 million viewers, most recent Walking Dead got 11.4 million

This is actually the first time in history GoT's ahead

You don’t need a paid subscription for Amc

I never gave a shit about ratings since im not a jew and im grown man who knows what i want to watch but now knowing that this campy show led hbo's most expensive flagship show all this time is hilarious

>I never gave a shit about ratings since im not a jew
Then why did you bring them up?

why not just have a guy going a patrol around the fence killing every zombie in sight. i mean they are literally standing there before breaching the fence. what a shit show

I'd honestly believe it at this point . No one on this show ever seems to make a logical decision,its so frustrating

Because the user was replying to was talking about it and also because it makes your anus pucker up, sweetcakes.

The whole show just feels too slow paced for my tastes. The fact that the producers are planning five more seasons at minimum and the creator has already revealed that there will never be a cure is just too depressing to invest myself into the show.

And the only reason to be invested in a show that you know will not have a satisfying ending is the characters. But now all of the characters are either bland or outright awful. There is no one to like or root for.

>I've got your back
>but you just met me
>we all just met each other

natural dialogue everyone

I don't read (the) comics but would get animals slowly begin to show zombie symptoms, once ratings decline for good. They also should have had Daryl crew up against Rick. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is performing in a totally different show, and no guy is intimidated by that Hollywood kike.

The other thing not discussed is AMC in gen. This network has been a dead zone since Breaking Bad ended. Fully crutched on TWD. Their CEO makes $50 million per year lol. I read they're making Dan Simmons' The Terror, but it tested horribly. And has a lead character revealed to be a fag halfway through even tho it's the 1800s or some shit. What else does AMC have? Even they're Halloween lineup is weak af this year.

Having Rick suck face with Nog Marley has blown back at them. Also, Southerners are becoming more conservative, and watching a gory show about "rising dead" every Sunday, with a fag named Jesus who'll prob get crucified, has started to dawn on them, they're being played again by Hollywood.

And as other anons point out every time, why dont they wear knight armor to fight walkers?! Or chain mail. Why don't they mace the walkers then kill them.

Guess this leak was real

You don't even need that heavy of armor. Boiled leather would be far lighter, easier to make, and would easily stop any zombie bites.

the only good shows that i enjoyed were Westworld, Deutchland 83 and Hannibal.

the rest is dogshit to me.

Do you have your shitting pants on?

Hannibal was kino and ruined almost all other tv cop shows

>for some weird reason.
She killed two people on the chance they might infect someone with their super flu when they only just started showing symptoms after the kid died.

I only watch this show so I can shitpost with you guys. I'm fully aware that this show is a piece of shit.

What was the point of this

Could they not afford to go to an actual junkyard

>>A million zombies suddenly get past Hershel's impenetrable three foot wooden fence
It wasn't even a wooden fence, it was chicken wire at best which was hilarious since the fence in season 4 can barely keep the walkers at bay but all of season 2 they couldn't even get past some very thin wire.

people still watch this trash?
you can only do so much with the same fucking cast over and over again
they should have killed and replaced the entire cast every season

>a show about the zombie apocalypse
>article uses two characters looking at each other lovingly as the cover photo
>dude lmao why are the ratings so low
What did they mean by this?

Herschel's farm was more protected by obscurity, they were in the middle of nowhere so the zombies rarely came. Rick warned that eventually they would get a huge herd but Herschel was stupid and didn't believe it.

>when the CGI is worse than literal trash
JUST

>Season 8

Jesus Christ. I marathoned the first two episodes of the first season and I wanted to kill myself. Can't understand why people see this shit.

>Shouldn't you guys be supportive of it now, since the normies are tuning out?
I would have but not after the slap in the face that was the end of S6 cliffhanger.

Also, it's unredeemable crap now.

>guys we gotta get this fatfuck zombie out of the well so it doesn't taint the water that it's been stewing, shitting, pissing, and vomiting in for god knows how long

Not even the worst example

That just raises further questions!

>marathoned the first two episodes
bet you really felt robbed after that daunting marathon

It doesn't really matter. Even if it drops to 5 million viewers they won't cancel it. This show will be on for another 8 seasons at least.

I mean they make enough money in t-shirts and Funko Pops alone to keep the show profitable.

It was a truly awful episode.

>There is no one to like or root for

excuse me?

>not watching z nation instead

you only have yourself to blame

This show is on par with sons of anarchy

>I hope you're wearing those shitpants, because you're about to shit your pants. If you're not wearing your designated pants-shitting pants, I humbly suggest you acquire yourself a pair of shitpants to shit in, because you're gonna shit your pants here in a moment

What a baffling choice from the writers

>This show is better than Saul or GoT, though.
You have to go back

Did I stutter?

If you want to see the best of the show, finish Season 1. There's no filler at all, since every episode is adapting a single issue of the comic. It's really the best over all.

>show constantly stalls for forced tension and DRAMA
>people eventually get sick of it and stop watching

who could have predicted it

Season 2 on the farm was fucking dreadful. I quit watching until season 6 but caught up because friends swore it got better when they left the farm. Dropped it after last seasons premiere. Never looked back.

Rick with Michonne was a disgusting mistake. Why can't men and women just be friends, why do they have to pair them off into romantic relationships that have zero chemistry?
