03/04/2013


History Channel's "The Bible" was an epic ratings hit Sunday night.

"The Bible" miniseries debuted to 13.1 million viewers in its 8-10 p.m. premiere, making it the most-watched cable entertainment telecast of the year, according to press release from the network.

It even beat out AMC's zombie hit "The Walking Dead", although "TWD" scored a 6.6 in the adults 18-49 demo, compared to "The Bible's" 3.3.



"We could not be more thrilled with this out of the gate success of The Bible on History," executive producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett said in a statement.

"The world is watching right now and we are incredibly humbled by the reaction to the series ... Ultimately 'The Bible' will be seen and felt by billions around the globe."

Very cool! I hope I can get a chance to watch some of this- it's always interesting to see historical documentaries- and I trust this one will be Biblically accurate. Of course, I'm all for anything that gets people interested and excited about Jesus and His Word, The Bible.:) :cool:

I would like to see this on Hulu or Netflix.

Is it on either, or will it be soon?
