Not too long ago, the highest rated TV show in the U.S. was serial drama The Walking Dead...

Nope. To check this I just looked at the average ratings of The Big Bang Theory and compared it to The Walking Dead. TBBT had higher average ratings all three seasons The Walking Dead has aired. A quick check confirms that Two and a Half Men also had more viewers.

That's only 18-49. Wikipedia sources TV By the Numbers, which includes people not in the 18-49 demographic.

To be fair, TTBT episodes are short and easy to watch. It's the fiction equivalent of candy, or of a casual game. Could you have a look at the DVD sales?
