Doesn't every tv show end at season 9 or less. From every tv show I know, they end at season 9

Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Buffy, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones (no more than 7 for this one)... I don't really see a connection.

Game of Thrones (no more than 7 for this one)

Um, what? They already are at season 5 and they didn't even started book 5 out of 7...

They're at the second half of third book with bits and pieces from fourth and fifth book. I'd wager there will be 8-10 seasons depending on the length of sixth and seventh book. The third book is the longest one so far and it spanned two seasons.

The contract specifically states that it will not go past 7.

Supernatural is already at 9 and it was renewed for at least 2 more I believe.

Well AMC is going to have to pay up first. Rick from Walking dead earns like 10% of what the main cast of 2 and a half men earn, yet walking dead surpassed them in viewers, getting about what 2 and a half men got in its prime (15m or so).

2 and a half men star big-time celebrities and is just another unoriginal sitcom.

lol cryer and the fat kid were big time prior to 2 and a half men? No. When you get 15million viewers an episode that turns you into a "big-time celebrity".

I doubt it'll work. 12 seasons is what? 180 or so episodes? Viewers are bound to get bored by then. These money grabbing corporations have no idea about these things.

I've never watched the show, but from what I hear it's pretty good, so if they continue to keep it quality they could definitely go for that long.

I don't think it's fair to compare The Walking Dead to House, they are two very different genres.

Yes and by season 4 of house I had to stop watching. You can't keep recycling the same formula over and over.

Its a good thing walking dead isnt a "what disease are we dealing with this week" formulaic kind of series, but instead an episodic one, where a big ongoing story is happening. And if you read the comics, you'd know theres still ALOT of really good material to source from, so I can DEFINATELY believe 12 seasons are achievable and sustainable in terms of interest.

Do you mean that corporations should exist to provide free goods and services for the good of the consumer? Get out of here.

Of course not, but a prolonged number of seasons won't necessarily retain as many viewers. Stretching out a story can lead to terrible filler episodes and just diluted crap in general and the show can end up losing respect from the fanbase. I don't mind if a TV show goes on for 12 seasons or more, but I'm unhappy with the way they're just boldly and casually stating that there will be 12.

Well.. it already looses steam, imo season 1 was still the best (as an overall season) so far, doubt they can keep it going for a whopping 12 seasons. I was guessing more like 2-3 more seasons and then they're done with it, despite the constant good ratings it gets.

Once Frank Darabont was kicked out, I lost interest.

Once Frank Darabont was kicked out, the show became shit. But thanks to that I read the comics now.

Given how many issues the comic has, i can see it going on for awhile but eventually even carl wont look like a kid so they are gonna have to only commit to so much time unless the storyline advances a lot faster.

The western gunsmoke lasted 635 episodes, and it was on radio before that.

I know about some Soap Opera that was (or maybe is still ongoing?) being made for 50 years.

Older shows like that are a different beast altogether. Television has changed significantly since Gunsmoke.

Hah, do you actually think it's planned to end? Get ready for your Walking Dead cartoon spin off and then a reboot. Corporation owners would rape their own mothers if it increased stocks a percent, what do you think they're going to do to art?

The first few seasons have been muh and drawn out already. Totally can't wait to see 8 more season of it. Really it has some great plot points but who are we kidding. It is hardly well acted or planned.

At least they are willing to end it and not making it until it does a slow horrible death. (Simpsons)

Some newer episodes, as in last couple seasons had a couple keepers but yeah it sorta got worse after Season 10(Writer change happened, movie was suppose to end the show from what I recall), that said its still bearable unlike say Family Guy which makes me puke a bit when I see it on the schedule.
