Our Team WHR<\/a> grade for the fourth episode is a Straight \u201cA\u201d for exciting entertainment value.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Day of the Dead” moves close to mid season with this episode confirming that few people, if any in Mawinhaken, Pennsylvania will be left unscathed by the Zombie Apocalypse.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What has befallen their town starts off in \u201cForest Of The Damned\u201d with Jai (Dejan Loyola<\/a>), Lauren (Natalie Malaika<\/a>) and Cam (Keenan Tracey<\/a>) who are mourning the death of Mrs. French (Paula Shaw<\/a>). Viewers will recall Mrs. French sacrificed herself by vaporizing a bunch of the foul creatures when she opened, and subsequently ignited her oxygen cylinder inside a room filled with Zombies at “The Grey Mile” retirement facility.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The horror science fiction series continues to delight many SYFY viewers with it’s creative and campy take on the George A. Romero<\/a> classic “Day of the Dead” film series. We are among those viewers who believe that Day of the Dead is superior in all respects to other programs in this genre, and as mentioned above, give it a Straight “A”.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What is surprising are the lackluster ratings for “Day of the Dead”. As a series DOTD has received to date approximately 277,000 live viewers for the premiere, 216,000 for the second episode, 184,000 for the third episode and falling even further to under 176,000 for the fourth episode. In fact “Day of the Dead” has fallen so far that few websites are even tallying the ratings numbers any longer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While additional viewer counts have been received at USA Network, which also broadcasts “Day of the Dead”, lifting the series average to approximately 224,000 viewers per episode so far, a question remains in our minds;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Are other viewers apparently tired of Zombie Apocalypse type of movies and television shows? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We at Team WHR<\/a> say yes, even though we sincerely enjoy “Day of the Dead”, and nevertheless hope that it is renewed for a second season.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, the low ratings for “Day of the Dead”, in our opinion, may be a demonstration that viewers want SYFY to return to it’s roots with new pure science fiction programs to emulate the success of series such as The Expanse, Stargate, Eureka, Sanctuary, and Warehouse 13 to name but a few. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

W<\/span><\/span>e remain hopeful that the ratings will improve so that a second season can become reality, but are concerned that it may not be renewed due to low ratings. <\/span><\/span>We shall see.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
