The Walking, Talking Dead

[AGENT J]

I stopped watching as well. It just slowly became more and more a night time soap and pointless. The problem is that its a zombie show that forgot that its a zombie show. I liked the show a lot at first. But as soon as they made it clear that it was about the characters and not the zombies it became like porn without the porn. Its like they thought that people who watch zombie shows care about character development as if it were something more than just a zombie show.

They would have been better of just dropping the entire zombie thing and just made it a post apocalyptic show, based on something logical.

And now with them going to make a Rick movie it will most likely just get worse.

Yes we all know that the walking dead are Rick and his group. I cannot imagine by now that anyone watching does not know that. I really liked the show at first. But the format left me disappointed in what could have been. All the season plots are predictable and the character interaction is extremely lacking. My comparison to porn was in the essence that porn without sex scenes is just bad acting. With TWD it isnt bad acting of course, but bad writing. And when you shift the zombies to the background you are just left with bad writing. AMC also completely ignored its fan base and their past time of thinking of what they would do in a zombie apocalypse. Instead of giving us situations with zombies to think about they give us a perverted lame version of the comic book. Given that they were willing to kill off Carl means that they could have done things much better since obviously they were never concerned with canon. Back when they were on the farm and they were starting to lose their fan base they did not learn anything about what the fans wanted. I really do not know why the show it still on the air at this point. Most people stopped watching already.

LMAO at all this crying
I still love the show. I have found it slow at times but still love it and the character stuff is the best part. People in fact DO like the characters. Its what makes people relate the most and cringe and wanna watch.

Also you are completely wrong about the fan base and "most people" stopped watching LMAO . . .Shane died in season two episode 12 and the ratings were still climbing they were not dropping. Th highest watched season was season 5 so you have no idea what you are talking about.

You may be disappointed and that is fine but your claims about fan base and most people not watching anymore is completely wrong. In fact AMC is so happy with things (since its their highest rated show ever) that they are all in doing spinoffs, mini series and tv movies. Yes the ratings have fell to its lowest in years but they are still the higher than any other AMC show.

I do not recall ever saying that the show was not doing good in season 5. Feel free to look at my posts FFS.

I am not crying so drop that stupid assertion.

I cannot help to notice that your graphic fails to show current ratings. We are in season 9 in case you did not know? The problem is that is that the show is character based, which I already stated. Most shows suffer fail when the star of the show leaves. The Walking Dead is no different. Why bother watching The Walking Dead if Rick and Carl Grimes are both gone? That story arc completely removed their most important base: The comic book fans. They let the Andrea thing go, but I believe when Carl died that was over for them. Now with Rick leaving the show, they will just drop out and wait for the movies and see if they save the franchise.

Perhaps the ratings will climb, perhaps the show is resilient enough to bear this storm, who knows. If AMC keeps it going despite all this then that will be an interesting move. IMO they will give us a season 10 but end it there. Most likely they will kill the rest off in the last season.

And TWD is the highest rated show on AMC but compare TWD to other networks and it is way below them.

1.) where did i claim you did? but you did make the factually wrong claim that they were losing thier fan base in season 2 and thats false as it was growing then and season 5 was thier biggest. So dont make stuff up FFS LMAO
2.) your posts show otherwise
3.) yes im aware that has nothing to do with your factually wrong claims that have already been proven wrong and this is the only official graph i found maybe there is another but again . . doesnt matter to your false claims
4.) and that claim was already proven wrong
5.) I read the comics and i was happy to see carl go LMAO it didnt bother me one bit nor many people i know . . I do admit i was worried about Rick leaving . . . but that INSTANTLY changed once they jumped ahead and Judith was heading walkers with ricks gun 30 yards out LMAO . . . but again . . NONE of that has to do with your factually wrong claims
6.) They are already all in per the shows writes and executives
7.) again . . that doesnt change your factually wrong claims . . "AMC" is very happy hence their plans going forward . . TWD is a HUGE success for them and "their" best ever

Notice the dips in season 2, that graphic that you showed of the seasons? dont you remember the feedback on that at that time? They rebooted the show for season 3 in hopes of bringing viewers back and it worked. No ones denying that TWD has been a very popular show FFS. But the show is going to need a alot to get past where its at with very slumped viewership.

I do admit that a Judith in place of Rick scenario could be good. I have actually said that they should get rid of Rick and Carl so it is isnt that I object to the storyline. Perhaps Ill watch and see. Seriously I am not making a big assertion that you must attack. If you disagree thats your opinion whatever. This entire subject is subjective to start with. The numbers probably do not matter if AMC is pushing a long term plan. Im sure something good might come out of that.

1.) LMAO nice try there are no "dips" there is a consistent growth upward with various PEAKS of high viewership. no matter how much you try your claims were factually false.
2.) what viewers "back" they factually didnt lose any they gained them, every single episode in season two did better than season one . . again your claims are factually false . . you are allowed to feel about the show how ever you want thats all subjective but your claims were wrong and uninformed.
3.) Im not attackign anything i simply pointed out that the claims you made that i bolded are factually wrong. You can admit that or deny it, doesnt matter they will remains wrong.
4.) has nothign to do with me, FACTS disagree and prove you wrong. These are factually false statements:

Its like they thought that people who watch zombie shows care about character development as if it were something more than just a zombie show.

People do care about it, during that development was its biggest success and lead to the biggest success for AMC

Back when they were on the farm and they were starting to lose their fan base they did not learn anything about what the fans wanted.

They werent losing they were gaining

Most people stopped watching already.

No most people have not, they still have some of the best numbers ever for AMC.

I have no problem with your OPINIONS . . you could hate the show or love the show thats all good by me but the claims above are simply false and I was pointing that out. If that bothers you i dont know what to tell you.:shrug:

Ok it was the greatest show ever ...sorry I said anything among your presence. Enjoy the show lol.

 

[Phys251]

I've tuned out because of who they killed off last season, but seeing that there's a good chance that Rick, Maggie, or both will die in the mid-season finale, I'm probably going to watch that one just to see how it goes down. Hopefully we won't get one of those "I slit his throat but a doctor healed him, so my mercy overcame my wrath" moments like we got at the end of last season. :doh

With Ricks (and Maggies) exit they should do a reboot to the story line and the cast. Or just end it there and let the movies or whatever continue the story telling.

If we could get past the lame story arcs I would consider a return as a viewer.

I don't know about that. I'd like to see how that little badass Judith develops. Heck, she's what...11, 12...and she almost runs the place.

Seems a bit pathetic to be all that over what I said about a tv show. Are you seriously taking this that serious? Hell just because I do not care, sure I'll admit to whatever it is that you want to feel superior about. If it helps you through the day.

[Rich2018]

I'm losing interest in it now.


With Rick's death, there isn't really a central character.


It's become boring.


The writers need to come up with some original storyline to keep me watching next year.

The walkers can now talk...how about Alexandria becoming an Alamo style last stand ?
