Ratings Watch: ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ Jumps Ahead of ‘America’s Got Talent’

America’s got zombies.

In live+same day ratings, the Tuesday edition of NBC’s America’s Got Talent originally won the week. But now that three days of time-shifted DVR and video on-demand usage has been included, AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead now takes the crown for the week ending August 23.

The premiere of Fear the Walking Dead added 3.2 million additional viewers after three days of time shifting, up 32 percent from its live+same day number.

In adults 18-49, Fear added 2.2 million more viewers in live+3, growing 36 percent to 8.5 million. AMC points out that Fear‘s additional 2.2 million is larger than the live/same day demo audience for any show on ad-supported cable this summer. (The show is the No. 1 cable series premiere of all time, and is the No. 1 cable show of this summer in viewers and 18-49).

Meanwhile, talk about a tale of two CBS summer shows: In live+same day ratings, Extant beats Under the Dome, 4.7 million to 4 million. But Under the Dome is such a big DVR/VOD draw (adding 2.1 million more viewers in Live+3, second only to Fear the Walking Dead last week) that it leapfrogs ahead to 6.2 million, vs. Extant‘s 5.8 million.

Here are the top 25 shows (including Live+3 DVR and VOD data) for the week of August 17 to 23.
