No I did not you claim that Breaking Bad was their baby... you'd have a better case saying Mad Men.
Walking Dead is their money horse and their most coveted show.
Breaking Bad has/had a nowhere near the success that Walking Dead has.
Yeah, AMC is a household name because of Breaking Bad. You forget Breaking Bad ended just when it was reaching it's peak in viewership. Critically, it was always the top dog on ANY network it's entire run and that's how AMC built it's rep. Mad Men never had the critical buzz BB did, and TWD has the buzz it has because BB ended at it's PEAK. TWD was their best show in terms or ratings and viewership after BB ended.
Mad Men built them up, Breaking Bad solidified them, and TWD is their current top tier show in terms of ratings. Remember, Hells on Wheels was supposed to be the next one up but it failed badly, hence why TWD is being dragged out.
Man you're so far from what is true and what you seem to believe in your head it's not even funny.
Mad Men was what put them on the map because of all of the awards it has won throughout it's entirety.
Breaking Bad is no where near the powerhouse you're making it out to be.
Yes it is considered by most to be up their as the GOAT, myself included, but it never put up big numbers like TWD has... even the series finale.
Breaking Bad caught wind because of word of mouth and critical acclaim and great reviews so people started binge watching it on Netflix and then it started putting up somewhat decent numbers into I believe it was season 4.
TWD has been a powerhouse since jump brah... and it damn sure wasn't because of Breaking Bad... TWD I would say brought viewers into Breaking Bad because they kept promoting it during TWD episodes... and it's only growing and growing and growing... people hate it and complain but you're adding to it's revenue.
Believe it or not the zombie thing has a pretty decent size fanbase.
