"The Walking Dead" has been a ratings monster since its 2010 debut, but the Season 3 premiere went through the roof.
自从2010年《行尸走肉》播出以来，这剧的收拾就一直处在碉堡了的状态。这回第三季第一集首播，又破纪录了！

An astonishing 10.9 million viewers tuned in to the show's return -- a 50% increase from the Season 2 premiere -- making it the most watched drama series telecast in basic cable history. Previous record holder, TNT's "The Closer," fell shy of 10 million viewers at its peak.
《行尸走肉》第三季首播集吸引了一千零九十万观众收看——比第二季首播集整整增加了50%——这也让《行尸走肉》成为了有线电视台历史上，收看人数最多的剧集。之前的记录是TNT电视台的《罪案终结者》鼎盛时期的1千万观众收看。

Adding in two same-night encore airings, a total 15.2 million viewers watched "Walking Dead" last night, including 10.3 million adults 18-49 and 8.6 million adults 25-54.
再加上第二天晚上的重播，一共有一千五百零二十万观众收看了《行尸走肉》第三季第一集，其中有一千零三十万观众是处在18-49岁年龄段，而八百六十万观众是处于25-54岁的年龄段。
