AMC’s ‘Breaking Bad’ reached amazing record breaking number of viewers with the series ending episode.
Variety recently reported that AMC’s “Breaking Bad,” one week after picking up the top Emmy drama prize, capped its meteoric ratings rise Sunday by surging to series highs in its finale — despite facing formidable season premieres on ABC, CBS, Fox and Showtime.
There was no stopping fans from watching the show live Sunday (or at least same-night, thanks to DVRs), as the conclusion to Walter White’s odyssey was watched by an average audience of 10.3 million, according to Nielsen, up 3.7 million (or 56%) from its penultimate episode of the previous week (6.6 million).
In adults 18-49, “Breaking Bad” did a huge 5.4 rating (or roughly 6.7 million viewers), putting it ahead of all broadcast premiere-week programs with the exception of CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory.”
