The Following premiered on Monday and tied CBS’ Elementary as the second-highest rated new drama premiere of the season.

AHS: Asylum on FX had its season finale on Wednesday, which was somewhat disappointing, but definitely not unexpected (the three episodes prior to the finale were some of the best). Now that AHS is over, you can concentrate all your brain power on watching The Following.

The review above (click the link) is exceptional, written by Mary McNamara, Television Critic, from the Los Angeles Times. You might need some brain power to read it, because she isn’t one of those entertainment magazine reporters who write a bunch of fluff riddled with typographical errors.

I watched The Following and I loved it. Seeing Kevin Bacon on the small screen was worth tuning in and the supporting cast is exceptional.

Click on the link, read the review and tune in next Monday to watch The Following. Also, don’t forget to set your DVR.

The Walking Dead Wraps, Lots of Links & Validations

David Morrissey Talks Midseason Finale with Vulture; Reedus Talks Daryl With LA Times – The Walking Dead – AMC.

I’m sure you know by now The Walking Dead is good television, even though it features zombies and the zombie apocalypse. Early on I posted a similar post with lots of links that led you to various media outlets that talked about the laurels of The Walking Dead.

Now that The Walking Dead had its Midseason Finale, here’s another one of those posts. Please note that this one was submitted by AMC just before the Finale (so I’m posting this after the fact).

If you want to get caught up on all three seasons of The Walking Dead, AMC will be airing every episode starting New Year’s Eve Day through New Year’s Day. Set your DVR or plan a Walking Dead party and invite your friends.

Pull out your Halloween menu and zombie/ghoul decorations and have fun with the entire theme.

USA Today Dubs TWD Essential Viewing; Andrew Lincoln Is TVLine Performer of the Week – The Walking Dead – AMC.

Wow! is about all I could say once I read this article.

If you’re not watching The Walking Dead yet, why not? Just take a look at the list of “Tags” I put in for this post and that should give you an idea of how many media outlets have been commenting POSITIVELY on The Walking Dead. Just one of their episodes turns in millions of viewers, the kind of numbers some series would be happy to have for an entire season.

Here are two teasers from the article above:
Adweek‘s short list of the hottest media properties includes The Walking Dead in the “Best reason to watch TV now,” “Biggest social butterfly” and “Show that keeps you on the edge of your seat” categories.

TV by the Numbers reports that last week’s episode was the highest-rated cable show on Sunday, recording a rating of 5.6 in the 18-49 demographic, up from from 4.9 last week.
