VIDEO : 'The Walking Dead' Ratings Continue To Decline

Regardless of how great The Walking Dead has been in Season 9 so far, the ratings are not reflective of the show's overall quality. Not only did the ratings fall from last week's episode, but they were down a sharp 50 percent from the third episode of Season 8 in 2017. The Walking Dead is clearly using the pending exit of Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes as a way to boost viewership in the coming weeks.
