It should come as no surprise, but The Walking Dead’s Fall finale episode kept that show at the top of all the charts it regularly appears on. Of course that show is usually at the top of those charts, but it did manage to regain the Number 1 slot on the Nielsen Twitter Ratings chart where it has slipped the last few weeks. And because last week was Thanksgiving, several shows such as American Horror Story, Agents of SHIELD, and Arrow took a break and thus did not appear in the charts. But the lower competition helped Person of Interest to edge its way into the broadcast network Top 25 based on ratings as that one made it to the Number 22 rung with a 1.7 score. It also appeared in the Top 25 based on total viewers as it usually does. And NBC’s struggling Constantine made it into the General Sentiment chart tracking social network activity for the broadcast nets for the first time since its series debut. Not sure if that might have been prompted by an effort from fans to drive activity on the social nets and bring more attention to the show, but it is worth keeping an eye on how the show tracks in the coming weeks.
Here is the full look at chart activity for genre shows for the week of November 24th thru 30th:
