So AMC is basically just The Walking Dead channel at this point.

I hope it becomes The Interview with the Vampire channel. That show started really strong.

They’re probably in shambles after Vince told them no more spin-offs.

Those and Mad Men were also made using external studios (typically Sony Television) so they got a much lower cut of the profits

It's the one big IP they actually own the TV/Movie rights to and make it all in house.

So it's not too surprising they'll milk it dry.

There is actually a Walking Dead channel that's on SlingTV, maybe other cable-like streaming services. It's an AMC subchannel or something.

They show TWD of course plus "Ride with Norman Reedus" which is a pretty cool casual viewing show.

It's crazy how many shows they've tried and none of them are really sticking. Only TWD, BB and BCS are their winners, and the latter two really belonged to another production studio and AMC just had to rights to air (correct me if I'm wrong).

What is bcs. Google says Bowl Champisonship Series (BCS.

If you mean better call Saul it didn't do particularly well although I love it.

Yes it's Better Call Saul. Sorry, forgot it's not always obvious (and BB of course is Breaking Bad)

Mad Men, Hell on Wheels and Halt and Catch Fire were good too, I’ll give their new Bob Odenkirk show a chance
