Frank Darabont who? AMC returned THE WALKING DEAD to its schedule last night, and viewers were as ravenous for it as its monsters are for human flesh. The show did an incredible 3.8 rating in 18-49s, outrating everything on network television except football. That was up 25% from last season's already-smash seaon finale, and 36% above the season average. Plus millions more people watched the show in re-airings through the night, so the cumulative number may be more like a 5+. Overall, the 11 million people who tuned in last night set a new record for the highest rated drama in basic cable history.With a lead-in like that, even though TALKING DEAD, the network's try at a post-episode talk show, lost most of Dead's audience, it still did quite well compared to normal AMC programming, with around a 0.7 in 18-49s.
