What a season! For us, the final episode of season five did not disappoint, and according to the ratings, much of America agrees with us. Conquer, The Walking Dead season five finale, once again won the night for cable with an uptick in the ratings from the previous week, and with Talking Dead coming in second. Only 181 days until October and counting. Read More…

The penultimate episode of season 5 starts off with Nine Inch Nails and ends with Raging Rick. The ratings were down a little bit from last week, but still won the night in the cable rankings. Despite mixed feelings about some elements of the episode, it still earned high marks from both of us, as well. As our gang spends more and more time in Alexandria, the difference between the two groups becomes more and more clear. Read More…

In this super short supplemental episode of The Walking Dead Talkthrough, we “discuss” Father Gabriel throwing our gang under the proverbial bus. We didn’t want to ruin the main episode with our diatribes, so we decided to get it out of our systems in this short segment. Read More…

“Spend” brings us one episode closer to the season five finale, although this year might not seem quite as long with the upcoming companion series to look forward to. The ratings were once again up and down: up from last season, down from last week. You win some, you lose some. Speaking of losing, our gang experienced more loss this week, but what’s a show called The Walking Dead without some loss? Even though we know it’s a fact of life for our favorite characters, it doesn’t mean we have to like it! Read More…
TWDTT 015 – Forget (S5E13)

This week’s episode of The Walking Dead entitled “Forget”, was definitely unforgettable! The ratings were up and they were down, but The Walking Dead was still cable’s number one show for the week. Talking Dead got a boost, too, coming in at the number two slot for cable. If you haven’t ever watched it, you should check it out. As with all shows, not all episodes hit the mark, but, depending on the guests, it can offer some interesting insights. Only three remaining episodes this season, and we are on the edges of our seats! Read More…

This week’s episode of The Walking Dead shows our gang trying to become domesticated again. They must figure out their place in this new community, but is it everything it seems? The ratings are back up again for this episode, probably due in part to no annual TV events to watch. But mostly because this show is so awesome! In any case, we are excited that the slump seems to be over, but only time will tell. Read More…

Another week, another episode, another big competitor for eyeballs. This past week, The Walking Dead season 5 episode 11, “The Distance” went up against The Oscars. The ratings were up this week compared to last week, perhaps proving that the recent dip was just a fluke. However, The Oscars do appear to be on a ratings downward slide.

The rest of our gang meets Aaron in this episode and are faced with a big decision, to trust or not to trust? Read More…
TWDTT 012 – Them (S5E10)
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:50:44 — 64.4MB) | Embed
This week’s episode of The Walking Dead was a bit of a departure from the previous one. Our gang has been through the wringer, and they are definitely feeling it! Not very much action or danger, this poignant episode focuses on three characters and their journey through grief. The ratings were down this week, but was it a result of the high viewership that the SNL 40th Anniversary Special received? Or is it true what fellow GSM hosts Tony and Joe have said on their podcast, The Devil You Know, that the ratings actually reflect how the audience felt about the previous episode? Tell us what you think, is it because of SNL or the contrary reactions to last week’s episode? Read More…
