We posted the details for The Walking Dead episode two yesterday and the numbers still are impressive a day later. It was down just 0.2 adults 18-49 ratings points to a still monstrous for cable 2.5 rating.
Did Boardwalk Empire feature zombies this week? Something boosted its adults 18-49 rating 0.3 points to a 1.5 rating, the highest in quite some time.
Real Housewives of Atlanta on Sunday had the same 1.4 adults 18-49 rating as last Monday, and that was equaled by Hannah Montana Forever.
Lots more cable shows hit a 1.0 adults 18-49 rating or better on Sunday including: Black Girls Rock Awards, Shake It Up!, and Kendra.
Update: All the questions about Kate Plus 8, motivated me to go to the spreadsheet. Sunday’s 9pm show averaged 1.331 million viewers, we have no demo ratings information for it. Assign absolutely no significance to the fact that it wasn’t in Travis’ list below.

Well, The World Series did have an effect on Boardwalk Empire. Anyway, Boardwalk Empire is a great series, one of the best on tv!
The Walking Dead is to legit to legit to Quit
Wow I’m still stunned by The Walking Dead!!! The second episode was really good! Those are awesome numbers (I wish Mad Men could pull those kind of numbers) The Walking Dead=True Blood of the Fall
Walking Dead = awesome
Dexter = doing great
Boardwalk Empire and The Walking Dead are two of the best shows on tv.
The renewal of The Walking Dead it was a no brainer
Boardwalk Empire is very slow moving and an utter bore. Removed from DVR after this past Sunday’s episode. HBO’s next big hit, it ain’t!!!
George, I’m totally with you. I just don’t get it. Boardwalk is the most overrated show of the season. It’s really gotten no buzz like Mad Men, True Blood, Dexter, Breaking Bad and even now The Walking Dead. Not only is it slow and a bore but the story stinks and the characters are awful. I think people are watching it because they all think they are watching the next Sopranos on HBO. They are all on the bandwagon. But, not only is it not the Sopranos, its not even as good as Rome, Deadwood or Big Love. Just because it looks good with the production values, people are watching this? This definitely is my show of the year that to me is extremely overrated.
Please tell us how Kate Plus 8 fared in the ratings.
Thanks much, as always!

Well, Mad Men is also slow. Boardwalk Empire is not boring at all. Episode 8 was particularly plot heavy. There are several likable characters. Margaret is easy to root for and a very interesting character.
@Jim…That is what makes horse racing. Maybe it is me, I thought Avatar was one of the worst and most boring movies I have ever seen. I walked out of the theatre with my wife thinking how can anyone like this, it is a few steps up from a cartoon
Okay, I know it’s cooler to talk about Walking Dead in the comments than Miley Cyrus, but DANG- 7.1 million viewers is impressive no matter how you cut it, and launching their newest show to 6.2 million? Disney must be excited.
I thought I was the only one who has been utterly bored with Boardwalk Empire. I gave up after last week. I don’t find any of the characters interesting or likeable and the plots have been so tedious. Can’t wait til Big Love returns.
heck, compared to mad men. boardwalk is like a non-stop action move! lol
but they’re both great shows

I love Boardwalk Empire – it took a bit to get into the characters but I feel it’s finally moving at a good pace. Walking Dead is great too. Not sure about the times in the USA, but here in Canada I can watch Desparate housewives at 8, Walking Dead on AMC at 9 p.m. central and then Boardwalk Empire on HBO Canada at 10 p.m. So, it’s a good Sunday night block for me.
@Christian…HBO shows have a bit of “teflon” that goes with them, I so wanted to like Boardwalk Empire and when I read about the premise and who was connected I thought to myself, how can this not be great. Three weeks ago, the St. Patrick’s Day episode might have been the worst most boring episode ever aired on HBO’s airwaves for any episode for any series.
What Jim said. It’s slowly plotted, but every episode has been essential; the last episode is proof of this. One of the best shows on television.
The pilot for TWD was fantastic, but the second ep was a big drop in quality. Hopefully ep 3 is better.
I wanted to see how poorly Kate Plus 8 did also. I’m hoping it was bad enough that the show is finally dead.
