Grocery shopping after the zombie apocalypse in The Walking Dead’s 4th season premiere.

It’s beginning to be a theme regarding the television show The Walking Dead.  It seems like every season the ratings just keep going up and up, with no end in sight.  Don’t believe me?  Record ratings in the first season.  Record ratings in the third season.  And now, record ratings in the fourth season.  The Walking Dead debuted on Sunday night to a staggering 16.1 million viewers, scoring a mind-bending 8.2 among viewers 18-49, television’s most important demographic.

If you combine every other broadcast show on Sunday night, they don’t match up to the ratings for “30 Days Without An Accident.”  Perhaps as important, The Walking Dead‘s success spread throughout the line-up for AMC; Talking Dead‘s debut also scored record ratings, bowing with 5.1 million viewers and 3.1 million viewers in the 18-49 demographic.  AMC says the program is the highest-rated program to air this fall, even beating sports programming!

“Sincere thanks to the fans, who have welcomed The Walking Dead back for its fourth season with the highest-rated episode in the show’s history,” said Charlie Collier, AMC’s President.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
