Why Did It End? This show was at one point the most-watched scripted series on all of television.  Its viewership peaked during its seventh season, but it still performed well over the next through years.  AMC decided to designate its eleventh year as its last, though that was a super-sized season that was designed to wrap up its storylines.  It currently stands as the sixth longest-running sci fi/fantasy show of all time and will likely hold that place for some time considering that long runs of television shows are becoming rare in the current entertainment landscape.  The story of TWD continues with spin-off shows The Walking Dead: Dead City, Daryl Dixon, and the Rick and Michonne mini-series.  And more entries in the franchise could follow as well.
