The Walking Dead's Falling Ratings Defended By Producer

The whole movie is forgotten about it, and the movie is too much of a charm, instead of looking for a cure and salvation. Coming together, there are two more ridiculous groups. I think the movie should end in Chapter 6 so long that the main theme of the movie was forgotten.

Lost interest end of season 6. Drip feeding a wafer thin plot and no end of season resolution. This series need to end.

For me, I originally started watching it because it was about the zombies and survival against them. When the human element was introduced with the Gov I started to be less interested, not to the point I do not want to watch it. Other shows have started to take priority over it because of that.

Don't get me wrong it is still a decent show and there are only so many things you can do the zombie survival idea that you need to start using other elements to try and keep the show, or any show for that matter interesting. When it comes to TV shows in general I find the longer the show runs for the less interested I become. I feel this is mostly to the fact that when a show hits its peak, expectations stay high and most things are measured against your favorite situation, episode or what have you which in turn is what makes people start to find their interest lowering regardless of the show you are watching. Very few shows keep a persons interest from start to finish, some manage to, some don't, that's just how entertainment works for most people. I like to watch a show right to the very end if I start it, just how I am regardless of how much interest I am maintaining with any show.

Nielsen ratings don't account for recordings or online viewing at all. The only reason it's still in use is that it's the only measure for viewing commercials other than the rare 'on demand' views, which in the last 3 years deactivates fast forward for most free shows.

But if you're watching AMC shows, you're probably not watching commercials. I personally have taken to muting as a last resort, stopping to watch only the ads which catch my eye. But overall, I haven't watched commercials since the 80s, when I purchased my first VCR recorder. So I gotta ask. Who watches ANYTHING live anymore?

Sports enthusiasts, I figure. But that's why time during game breaks comes at a premium.

You can't tell if people are paying attention to your ads, so stop trying to shove them down our throats. Seriously. Do the occasional zombie cameo instead. That always gets my attention. But if I spend too much time pondering sales gimmicks you can use, I will surely vomit.

There have been so many cheap character deaths throughout the series when we would cry out "are you freaking kidding me???" and as of late, such an amplitude of exaggerated situations that has turned the show into something more of a cartoon. Sure it's off of a comic book, but this is the type of transference from print to screen doesn't say "comic book" show. So exaggerated moments in a comic book like this, don't carry that same sense of unbelievable believability. Plus the over-use of copy and paste plot-lines, it gets so redundant.

Plus, after I noticed the firefights have animated gunshots, with the guns not ejecting shells and bolts not moving, and even the actors not treating the guns with recoil... I can't unsee it when as it happens. Oh, and in some cases, when cars are getting hit they just spark and don't leave bullet holes. Now it's all that I look for in those moments, just to see what level of laziness they are delivering.

Kind of disconcerting they have the show outlined for 5+ seasons ahead.

Everyone whines and complains about The Walking dead. Hopefully they’re the vocal minority cause I’m still enjoying it as much as ever.

The best part is is that it's still relevant and if done properly it could be really good, but the writing quality is garbage. Not to mention the stupid things they still continue to do in damn near every episode like zombies appearing out of nowhere, skeletal zombies that have super strength (the sewer scene a season or so back)...

They have done this to themselves. Not to mention the episodes / seasons when rick / carl / ect, when they are badass then all of the sudden they are incompetent morons that seem like they have no clue all of the sudden. Then there's the terrible build up episodes that end up fizzling out when the plot twist / big moment fail to deliver. Or, how about the full episodes that's about one character (especially when it's a person no one cares about) that don't need to happen when they toss them in.

My favorite are always the stealth ninja zombies that aren't around anywhere, then for a generic jump scare there are 20 in an area all of the sudden hidden behind a small tree lol (sorry, you would see and hear them shambling around). My favorite was when andrea was running from the governor in the woods along side the road... that was so bad. It's the same stupid crap every season and they just keep doing it and you can't tell me they don't read or know about the negatives that people don't like, yet they continue to poor it on more and more.

Then there's morgan and carol.... started off cool and are both terrible these days...

The last two seasons have been such an atrocity i end up laughing during many of the episodes at how bad the writing, acting and direction is. I am shocked at how different it is compared to earlier seasons in terms of quality. It is an embarrassment.

Kind of funny that season 2's finale has the lowest ratings when that was the first full season the show had...and that ending was damn good.

I've been a die hard fan from the beginning. I've defended the show through thick and thin. The pros have always outweighed the cons for me.

Especially within the last two seasons where they really started getting into the thick of the good comic material, and they were adapting it super well...and they were proud of how well they were adapting it.

...Then Scott M. Gimple showed up with his horrible writing, and he decided that shock factor > greater than good story telling and faithfully adapting the comic material.

And as much as I defended the show time and time again, that pretty much ended with this seasons mid-season finale, when ***SPOILER ALERT STOP READING HERE****

They kill Carl off. The character who's basically one of, if not THE most centrally important character in later arcs when he finally gets his time to shine. And there's no one to replace him like their was with other characters (like swapping out Andrea and mixing her traits into Carol and Michonne). There are things in the story to be told that can ONLY be done because of Carl.

And anyone who read Chandler's Hollywood Access interview would know he was completely blindsided by the move as well. So it's not like he was choosing to leave the show.

Somebody tell the producer that some of their guns don't expel bullets when fired upon or one weapon hilariously shoots automatic(?) wtf. Such a shame to see a great show fall the actors give great performances well some, but the editing, the shit flashbacks, etc. just screams budget cut.

The Walking Dead has been my favorite series for years, but the last 2 years just sucked. You'd think Neegan would renew it, he didn't, It started going down the drain, when Glen hid under a dumpster. That was far fetched and hard to come to terms with. Then you get this king and his pet tiger. ugh! ( I could've stopped watching the show right then, because it was too much going into, "unbelievable territory" Carl dying for no reason. He's been there since the beginning, his death just falls flat. The back and forth between Rick and the lady leader of the scrapyard people is just very boring and makes no sense, One minute she's an ally, next she isn't. The whole thing just sucks now. I don't even know why I keep watching. The last 2 seasons... REALLY REALLY sucked! It's sad really, this show was so good for a very long time.

I was originally excited about Negan, but quickly realized that such material only translated on well in the comics. The show doesn't have the budget to illustrate all out war in 16 episodes without taking drastic shortcuts, and that they have .

I think the height of this show was season 3. The Governor from the comic would have just translated as your usual villain. The TV version was complex and unpredictable. That season had alot of tension. I don't get the same feeling from season 7 and 8. They should have given Negan and the saviors the same treatment that they gave the governor years ago.

Oh well, the show may have a chance to turn it around during the whisperers arc, assuming it isn't cancelled before then. I think the whisperers could be really scary on TV, assuming they don't mess that up with terrible cliche writing.

im losing interest this season. the writing has been particularly bad, and some of the great long running actors are acting out of character. The human v human fights were a bit sloppy imo. people shooting assault rifles at each other with cars/tables/thin metal as cover and the show cheaps out on production value by making the bullets that miss characters with CGI sparks on such cover. the reality is that the cover would be shredded.

Negan is charming yet completely fails as an intimidating villain, the governor is still the best villain of the series. Negan really needs to start actually fighting more and stop standing there with the "i could do anything at any moment" long stare. at this point its all bark and no bite. I hope the writing gets better on this front, cause its just laughable at this point.

It truly does need to end. THAT SAID, the last 2 seasons were some of the show's best stuff. I actually don't quite understand why the show was so popular during the time that it was. Season 2-5 were some of the most boring tv ever. Everything on the farm and prison were awful, and I had to take extended breaks from the show due to fatigue from watching it. Once Negan showed up and gave the show a proper villain with charisma, the show actually went back to being good again... at least, in episodes where he appears. Everyone harped on the show for that cliffhanger ending a couple years ago, but I thought that entire episode was gripping, and then when they returned and had Negan kill a couple of them, the tone of the show was perfect.

The show is still super guilty of being horribly, painfully paced with stretches of filler and this air of smugness when they try to do weird time jumps back and forth with convoluted messages and themes. Just end the damn show.

Probably because there is no more stories to tell.

It’s the same stuff every week now. I really have no idea why half the characters repeat the same stuff over and over.

We get it. “That’s on you” and “You did what you had to do” are the most over used lines in the series.

Time to just hot shot the series and end it.

8 seasons and one eyed jack finally gets the claps. Oh no you can't shoot one eyed jack because one eyed jack has the claps.

I clap to you one eyed jack you served your purpose now begone and get gonorrhea.

What would have saved the show if

Ugene actually went to Washington and found the a nuclear bombs silo instead of the cure.

And kaboom the end.

But no they cut season 7 and 8 from a full 16 episode so rude.

Zombies are played out, partly because your show made them seem less threatening lol after season 2 zombies just became a minor inconvenience.

The show was awesome, just shifted your focus to far from the premise of the series. Zombies.

They messed around too much with the audience. Fake Glenn death followed shortly by a real death. I stopped.

This show would've been legendary if they had ended it in 5 seasons. But AMC wanted to suck as much money out of it as possible. Well this is what happens when you keep going with the same bullshit every season. People move on.

#FireGimple #ThatsHowYouFixIt

Totally forgot this was still going on. Stopped mostly watching around Season 5 after it was the same shit different place and completely stopped when they killed Glenn who was one of the best chars.

The show really has no end game, no purpose. And with inconsistent zombies and stupid plots and stupid shit, it is done imo

This is what you get for killing Glenn.

I stopped watching walking dead 2 or 3 seasons ago because I found other shows more interesting to me to watch. I tried to pick up where I left. Watched two episodes and then got interested in another show again. I plan to pick it up again soon.

I guess it is normal that people lose interest in show running this long... but at the same time, it goes without saying that quality of writing has gone down. Significantly. Characters are making (and executing) so many weird, illogical, basically suicidal decisions with only goal - to put them in situation where creators want them to be at any given time.

Creators have forgotten one old and very universal truth - it is not the destination, it is the voyage that matters. Sadly, voyage is being sacrificed for cheap cliff-hangers and artificial drama that really should not happen in a first place.

What I loved with WD was that it felt as realistic as story could feel in such a fictional zombie-apocalypse setup. I felt sympathy, I felt empathy for characters and emotions, decisions... they were going through. That is gone. Now it is mostly gore-fest with cheap Hollywood-style shootouts and action hero nonsense.

Drama was "real". Now it is just fake construct designed to loosely tie set-pieces. Story was driving this show. Now it is only clumsy mashed-up together to fill between big scenes.

Its cuz they've turned the show into constant poorly scripted shootouts. The shootouts look like fan made YouTube videos. I still watch the show to keep up with the characters and all but the action in the show has become awful.

I stopped watching after the first episode with "Negan", where they brutally and graphically killed two primary characters.

Or maybe it's because this show has been hilariously bad the past couple seasons?

Everyone thinks that when you think you are the "big" thing and views decline. Just look at Cliff Bleszinski and LawBreakers or Ridley Scott and Aliens.
